Remember the olden days when you had to settle for the occasional porn star sighting on cheesy reality shows or MTV or cheesy MTV reality shows? Suddenly, HGTV is more than just about flipping houses and designing on dimes: first we hear that one of its former hosts is starting his own naked goth girl site, and now our intrepid colleagues at Gay Porn Blog have revealed that current "Design Star" contestant and Le Corbusier fan Michael Verdugo received some valuable hardware and still life training appearing as "Jeremy Wess" in movies like "Rope Rituals" for legendary bondage producer Tom "Ropes" McGurk.

We think Michael's a talented designer and hope this won't affect his standing in the competition; after all, what reality show star these days hasn't appeared in a porn video at some point? Besides, we're more looking forward to someone unearthing that secret Chad Lopez-Steve Hanneman sex tape we've been dreaming about during "Designed To Sell"'s commercial breaks. If anyone comes across it, you know where to find us.
