The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills blonde bombshell Camille Grammer tells SheKnows how she's moving on in life and love after her divorce.

Camille Grammer

Things have changed a lot for Camille Grammer since her divorce from her famous husband, Frasier star Kelsey Grammer, earlier this year. For starters, she's down to one nanny instead of four.

"I had four in the beginning and I took a lot of criticism for that," Camille told SheKnows Saturday at Kari Feinstein's Style Lounge. "That wasn't just me that set that up."

Camille says her ex was the one who enlisted the army of help. Now she only needs one nanny and her family to pitch in on daycare.

"It's hard," the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star said. "This year we shot for almost seven months. I'm a single mom so I do have a nanny and my parents also come out to help when I'm working. Anytime I'm home I spend with the kids."

In her free time, Camille also likes to stay active. The reality star sipped on zero calorie Omega Water and picked up some Zone energy bars while she was at the event, giving us some insight into how she stays so amazingly slim.

"I have been hiking a lot," said Camille. "I love to paddleboard. I do some weight training. I like to dance. I stay active and try to work out at least 15 minutes a day."

As for her diet, Camille said it's a matter of circumstance.

"I call it the divorce diet," she joked. "No, I have good genes and I stick to a protein, low carbs, and a lot of veggies."

Still, she's not one to rule out guilty pleasures.

"I've been eating a lot of Phish Food from Ben & Jerry's and I love Sprinkles cupcakes," Camille told us.

But her biggest indulgence lately is her new relationship. Camille told SheKnows she has a new man in her life who is nothing like her ex.

"I just recently started dating someone who's lovely," said Camille. "Caring, good with my kids, loyal, kind, somebody I can trust again. It's only been a few months but he's fantastic. He's a regular normal guy, not in the business."

And a low profile relationship is just what this housewife needs right now.

"I didn't want to be with anyone who's in the business," Camille said. "I needed a break from that. I was married to Kelsey, a high profile actor. I've been there, done that. Right now it's nice to be with somebody who's a normal, nice person and who cares about me and my children."

We wish you luck Camille!

Kelsey Grammer has a meltdown after Aussie TV interview

Wondering how Kelsey Grammar is handling his divorce playing out on ,The Housewives of Beverly Hills and in the press? If this reported meltdown played as described -- not well!

Kelsey Grammer hit Australia to promote his new show Boss, but things didn't go as planned when he visited the morning show Sunrise. The Emmy-winner will open up about his ugly divorce from Real Housewives of Beverly Hills reality TV star Camille on an upcoming episode of Piers Morgan Tonight, but reportedly went ballistic after the Aussie hosts brought up the subject.

Kelsey Grammar's Aussie meltdown

Often when a news outlet lands a big interview, there are parameters, with juicy topics like breakups and weight changes ruled off limits. With his personal life a media circus of beef jerky slams and small penis digs, not to mention an all-out custody war with his ex Camille, Grammer is set to talk it out with Piers Morgan, but likely wants to keep the rest of his interviews professional these days. That wasn't to be the case on Sunrise.

First, the morning talk show introduced their guest with a reel that recounted his career, with clips from Cheers, Frasier, The Simpsons and X-Men, and then his personal drama, with Real Housewives of Beverly Hills footage of his breakup with Camille, followed by a clip of Grammer with his current wife, Kate Walsh.

As the intro closed, Grammer looked peeved, but seemed to laugh it off and roll with it. When the interview took an identical path, he looked less inclined to tolerate it, but he still kept his cool.

Then, after covering all the bases, host Natalie Barr broached the subject of his divorce. With another round of RHOBH clips running in split screen, she asked Grammer what it was like having the world watch his marriage disintegrate and to witness Camille's reactions on a reality show.

"It's bound to be what they do," he said. "In my mind, that was my parting gift to her, after a very difficult marriage and a very difficult decade. I thought, maybe, 'So long, and here's a little present for ya.''"

Grammer then let out an uncomfortable chuckle, but word is his laughter ended after the segment wrapped. The star apparently called producer Mark Beirne and unleashed a profanity-laced diatribe, according to a Herald Sun's unnamed source.

"You are a vile person ... a sick dog ... your life must be tragic ... I feel sorry for you," Grammer reportedly ranted.

Grammer on camera

Grammer isn't commenting on the report and SheKnows can't confirm what went down after cameras stopped rolling, but take a look at the interview and tell us what you think: Was he heading for a meltdown after this? If so, do you blame him?

Kelsey Grammer talks about new love and his messy divorce from Camille Grammer.

Kelsey Grammer was a guest on CNN's Piers Morgan Tonight on Monday night and the results were less than favorable for his ex-wife Camille Grammer. Kelsey went into detail about his first encounter with his now fifth wife, Kayte Walsh, and why he thinks reality television was a great parting gift to Camille.

Kelsey Grammer talks about love and his messy divorce to Camille Grammer

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Destiny called him to fall in love again

Kelsey met Kayte Walsh on his flight from Los Angeles to London at LAX. He was headed to London for an acting gig but felt fate was working on something else.

"I knew the minute I got that phone call that my life was going to change completely, that something else was happening."

Grammer says he spotted Walsh before he actually boarded the plane and was taken with her instantly.

"When I walked through LAX, I spotted a girl, who just looked to be magnificent. There was a warmth, a glow about her that I was drawn to. And I thought, 'Boy, I hope she's on my flight.' And then we got onto the plane and she walked down the other aisle…and there was this one moment when we smiled at each other. I thought, 'I gotta talk to her,' so we started talking."

So when did the pair have their first date? On Christmas Day 2009 in London. "It was magnificent. There were lights everywhere" gushed Grammer.

Grammer even talks about their first kiss that night: "I looked at her in that moment and thought, 'I'm going to try.' So I leaned in and kissed her and we've been together ever since." Getting teary eyed, he continued, "The snow started to fall. It was insane. It was like the planets had danced together on a segregated charm on our behalf."

Mistakes made with the affair

Kelsey also admits he did not handle the affair with Walsh and the break-up of his then-current marriage well.

"It was messy. Kayte was unsure. I was trying to do something to make the destruction of the previous marriage go easier somehow and that was a mistake, that was just a mistake. I should have walked home and said [to his then-wife Camille], 'We're done. You can finally have everything you've wanted. And I found a new life.'"

Grammer also admitted this was the first time he felt he was truly in love. When asked by Morgan if he had found 'proper love,' Grammer replied, "Absolutely, there is no doubt about it."

Kelsey and Kate announced their engagement in December 2010 and wed a few months later in February 2011.

Camille and The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills

Kelsey has stated in previous interviews that his wife's casting on the Bravo hit reality show, The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, was a "parting gift." He went into further details with Piers Morgan, citing Camille's desire to be famous as a major motivator.

"Whether or not it worked well for her doesn't matter. It was my way of saying, 'Look, you always wanted to be famous. Here you go.'"

Grammer thought the reality series was not a reputable form of recognition, but said it provides a quick way to gain the spotlight.

"Everyone knows reality shows are not a great way to get famous. You still get attention; you still get all those things that come along for the ride, which I think she was most interested in. And that was the gift. I knew that when it came up, we'd be saying good-bye."

Camille had said numerous times over the past few seasons of the Real Housewives that she felt insignificant next to her famous husband.

Still not on good terms

Currently, Kelsey Grammer says things are "not good" with Camille and that the two have "no dialogue." He says Camille asked for a divorce early on in their marriage and gives a warning to other couples, "If you ask for a divorce, as some kind of tactic, enough times, you're going to get one."

Kelsey Grammer is a bad Boss

Kelsey Grammer has brushed off his Frasier Crane character for a more sinister role in Boss.

Kelsey Grammer's new role as corrupt mayor Tom Kane in the Starz series Boss is a far cry from the eccentric, yet likeable character Dr. Frasier Crane. In Boss, Grammer plays the mayor of Chicago -- who lies and cheats his way to the top, despite battling a progressive neurological disorder.

Kelsey Grammer in Boss

"Basically, he's Lear," Grammer says, referring to Shakespeare's King Lear. "That being said, we don't want to pigeonhole it so that people say, 'Oh, they're trying to make a King Lear story.' It's a tragedy about a man who is not necessarily a tragic figure at first, but will become that as he learns to love. That's my idea of where this character is going."

Connie Nielsen plays his estranged wife in Boss, while Hannah Ware plays his daughter caught in the middle. Kathleen Robertson plays his aide, Jeff Hephner his state treasurer and Martin Donovan embraces his role as the chief of staff.

Grammer is an executive producer of the show and said he began working on it "sometime after my marriage at the time was falling apart," referring to his divorce from Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Camille Grammer.

The four-time Emmy winner is taking a huge departure from his character in Frasier -- and it seems Grammer enjoys that about the role. He describes his character Kane as "a genius at understanding how to push or manipulate somebody. I don't even know that it's always conscious what his skill is, and the malady he is dealing with suddenly challenges his trust of himself. That's what makes him such an interesting guy to play."

Boss premieres on Starz Oct. 21st at 10 pm.

Kelsey Grammer is spilling the details on the way he began his affair with his now-wife -- a full six months before he left ex Camille Grammer!

Kelsey Grammer

Kelsey Grammer has callously revealed the cavalier way in which he cheated on his ex-wife Camille Grammer a full six months before the end of their marriage.

Kelsey told Jimmy Kimmel about the "magical" first night he spent with his now-wife Kayte Walsh, at the time a flight attendant, while he was still married to the star of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

"We actually met in the air on a plane to England," Kelsey said. "It was very romantic, she was working on the plane."

"We went out for coffee several days later and had this magical night in the snow in London around Christmastime. It was two years ago."

Kelsey didn't tell Camille he was no longer invested in their marriage until June 2010 -- a full six months later. She claims she found out about his plans via text message when he wrote, "I don't want to be married anymore."

That wasn't exactly an accurate statement, as he wed Walsh a mere 15 days after his contentious divorce to Camille was finalized.

He claims he has the full support of his friends in his marriage hopping activities. "Most of them say, 'It's about time. You're a marrying kind of guy,'" he claimed.

Kelsey is now on his fourth marriage, and has four kids with three different women -- including two with Camille.

Twins for Kelsey Grammer and his wife Kayte! Kelsey Grammer announced some big baby news backstage at Sunday's Golden Globe Awards. Shh! Don't tell Camille!

Kelsey Grammer is a winner times three!

Not only did the Boss star score a Golden Globe for Best Lead Actor in a TV Drama over the weekend, he's revealed that he and his wife, Kayte Walsh Grammer, are expecting twins.

Shh! Don't tell Camille!

"I'm really looking forward to meeting them," the actor told reporters backstage at Sunday's ceremony in Hollywood.

"Fatherhood is always different based upon the character that drops into your life. They arrive and tell you what they have to do. I'm really looking forward to meeting these new arrivals."

Kelsey thinks Kayte -- a former flight attendant -- will be an "extraordinary" mom.

"She's the most loving, amazing and warm human being. She's funny and serious. I think she'll blow them away," he explained.

The 56-year-old married 30-year-old Kayte in February 2011, just three weeks after finalizing his divorce from Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Camille Grammer.

Kelsey is already a father of four. He and Camille share a son and a daughter, 10-year-old Mason and seven-year-old Jude. The showbiz veteran is also dad to Greer, 19, with ex Barrie Buckner. Spencer, 28, was born during Kelsey's union with Doreen Alderman.

The twins will bring the Grammer headcount up to six!

Kelsey became a grandpa when Spencer gave birth to son Emmett three months ago.

The pregnancy is the second for Grammar and Walsh. The couple suffered a miscarriage in October 2010. Kelsey and Kayte announced the pregnancy the previous August, shortly after the star confirmed his breakup from Wife number three, Camille.

Kelsey remains in the throes of an acrimonious custody battle with Camille, 42. The former Frasier actor is suing his Playboy model ex for sole physical custody of Mason and Jude in a storyline presently playing out on Camille's popular Bravo docu-soap.

Kelsey Grammer's hips don't lie. He's madly in love with a woman named Kayte, and just crazy enough to have her name tattooed on his hip.

Kelsey Grammer

You can't have sexy time with Kelsey Grammer without being reminded of Kayte Walsh. The 57-year-old actor has made a permanent gesture of love to his fourth wife, having her name tattooed on his hip over the weekend.

That's hot.

Kelsey Grammer and Kayte Walsh hit up the tattoo parlor Friday, looked over a few design options, then decided putting her name on his right hip was the way to go.

"He was pretty cool about it," said Bob Jones, owner of Insight Studios, about Kelsey Grammer. "He said it was his first tattoo and he did some research and said, 'You guys seemed to be the best place to go.'"

Adding a little color commentary to the Kelsey Grammer tattoo recap is 72-year-old Christine Darbo, the grandmother of tattoo artist James Eastwood who did the ink honors.

"They were just normal people. We were talking about tattoos," Darbo told the Chicago Sun Times. "He said, 'I'm going to get Kayte's name.' My friend asked, 'So how long have you been dating that he wanted to tattoo your name?' She said, 'We are married.' I figured with his background he should just put a 'K' with a period to give him some flexibility."

Zing!

"She was pretty, but not gorgeous…They were fun," Darbo went on to say of Kelsey Grammer and Kayte Walsh. "Very friendly and into each other. They were just talking and enjoying each other."

When the blue ink, half-inch letters were done, Kelsey Grammer paid his $60 tattoo bill and hit the road. "He’s the only famous person I’ve ever tattooed," Eastwood commented. "He’s a pretty down-to-earth dude."

Kelsey Grammer and wife Kayte have renewed their vows in Vegas! Fifteen months after first vowing till death do they part, the pair are using their love to cross items off the actor's bucket list.

"I've always wanted shotgun wedding pictures so we can show the kids later on!" Kelsey Grammer told People of electing to say 'I do' to his pregnant wife for a second time. "We wanted to celebrate and re-dedicate [ourselves] to how much we love each other and to our growing family around the bend."

“I don’t panic about kids,” the 57-year-old actor previously told E! of welcoming his fifth and sixth children at the same time. “They’re always a blessing. We’ll buy a couple of cribs and take it from there.”

Kelsey Grammer and Kayte's first wedding took place on Feb. 15, 2011.

I'm just so happy! We're really excited."

The Boss star reportedly wore a Tom Ford suit for the ceremony. Crossing shotgun wedding photos with his pregnant bride off his life's goals, Kelsey Grammer added, "I love that she had the courage to marry me twice!"

How many of you saw Kelsey Grammer was trending and thought the 57-year-old actor was getting married again? Well, if you thought that, you'd be half right. Grammer renewed vows with pregnant wife Kayte Walsh amid reports that he's suffering a midlife crisis. You think?

Frasier Vow Renewal

Kelsey Grammer's vow renewal ceremony in Vegas comes a little more than a year since he tied the knot with wife No. 4 Kayte Walsh.

Apparently, the ceremony can be just as beautiful the fifth time around. Us Weekly reports a source with the Little Drive-Thru, erm, Church of the West said, "It was emotional… he was choked up about the whole time and you can tell they are very much in love and happy."

News of the weekend ceremony also comes amid some nasty reports of Grammer's alleged a-little-past-midlife crisis.

A source close to the Frasier star told Perez Hilton: "He has married a woman who is 25 years younger than him, he recently got his first tattoo, of her name, he decides to renew his wedding vows after being married for little over a year? This behavior is far away from the Kelsey that I have known for years, it's like he's reliving his youth."

The source was kind enough to point out to us that he'll be a pensioner around the time his twins are born. Said source surmises he'll be getting a mohawk or his ears pierced.

Kelsey Grammer sued for Ponzi scheme

The actor is reportedly furious he has been named in the suit, but the plaintiff said she wouldn't have invested if it weren't for him.

Kelsey GrammerLast August, Kelsey Grammer was just a victim in a Ponzi scheme instigated by a former business partner. But now he is being named as a defendant in the suit.

Grammer is being sued by actress Lydia Cornell for duping her out of money on the site Staropoly.com. According to RadarOnline, Cornell’s suit is for nearly $100 million and names numerous defendants.

But Grammer is claiming he also is a victim of the site, and that he was duped out of $1 million.

Cornell’s suit does not say Grammer was responsible for her loss of money, but that his name is what lured her into investing.

“The lawsuit was filed in Los Angeles Superior Court last August and didn't name Grammer as a defendant at that time,” said RadarOnline. “He was added to the suit only weeks ago; the reason for the delay is not clear.”

The amended suit alleges that Grammer’s likeness and name were a large selling point for the website, and were used in all marketing and publicity. It also says that Grammer made phone calls to potential investors.

The actor is reportedly furious he has been added to the lawsuit. His lawyer earlier today released a statement.

"Any claims filed against Kelsey Grammer concerning Staropoly are absurd and without merit. Kelsey has been substantially damaged in this venture, and lost $1 million of his own money. Kelsey received nothing from the venture, monetarily or otherwise,” the statement said, according to RadarOnline.

The site in question, Staropoly.com, was said to harness star power.

"If Alex Varanos [the man responsible for Staropoly.com] told people that TODHD [Staropoly's parent company] was Kelsey's network, then it was done without Kelsey's authorization, and against Kelsey's strenuous objections,” his lawyer continued, according to E! News.

The documents obtained by RadarOnline say a hearing for the case will take place July 27.

Court in session for celebs like John Travolta and Kim K

From cruise ship stewards to litigious lawyers, a diverse group of plaintiffs has stepped forward this week to seek punitive damages from allegedly law-breaking celebs. Check out these big cases on the court docket!

Actor John Travolta Attends Savages Premiere

John Travolta. According to the most recent suit filed against him, John Travolta has a much different definition of room service than the Average Joe. A former Royal Caribbean cruise ship steward claims that, in 2009, he simply tried to drop dinner off in the actor's stateroom when Travolta propositioned him for a neck rub. The steward obliged , at which point Travolta's "wild hog" purportedly made a cameo. And, well, it gets much seedier from there. If true, it looks like Hollywood's lord of the dance clearly didn't realize that the steward's hot cross buns weren't on the dessert menu.

Kim Kardashian. Yeah, yeah, there's that whole divorce drama lawsuit thing going on. Enough of that! Let's move on to the more entertaining topic at hand... the new lawsuit alleging Kim and current squeeze Kanye West are full-on Al-Qaeda terrorists. Nope, not a joke. Well, not to Jonathan Lee Riches, who filed the seemingly absurd suit. Riches, who holds the Guinness World Records title for "World's Most Litigious Man," says he saw Kimye throwing a concert for the infamous terrorist network while he was deep in the West Virginia woods. Ah, yes, who doesn't enjoy a deep-woods WV stroll from time to time? Perfect for wildlife-watching or, apparently, hallucinating elaborate hoaxes.

Kelsey Grammer. Most famous for his role as a psychiatrist in the classic TV sitcoms Cheers and Frasier, Kelsey Grammer is once again messing with people's heads -- in the worst possible way, according to a suit filed by former friend Lydia Cornell. In the suit, she accuses Grammer of getting her involved in a Ponzi scheme via the "social media" site Staropoly.com. Sure, the site used Grammer's likeness to entice unsuspecting celebs to join the shady venture, and it would appear Grammer's camp made little effort to stop the swindling . But, hey, as we all know by now, you are innocent until proven guilty in Hollywood... and then sometimes you are still innocent.

Courtney Love. There certainly isn't any love lost between the former Hole frontwoman and -- well, everyone. Hollywood's original hot mess has been hit with suits by fashion designers, former business partners, credit card companies, and business managers. The latest to join the list is famously ferocious attorney Keith Fink, whom Love had retained at the steep rate of $595 per hour . Fink claims that, even when he helped Love handle case after case against her for nonpayment of services, he never suspected the grungy, er, grunge rock singer wouldn't cough up the change for his charges. Um, did you meet her before taking her case?

The courtroom capers don't stop there! Other stars recently embroiled in legal battles include Kevin Costner, Tony Parker, Ashton Kutcher, Leighton Meester and Matthew Fox.

Singer Adele surprised us all when she announced she was pregnant, as did Anna Paquin when she revealed she is pregnant with twins!

A pregnant Snooki and Kelsey Grammer’s pregnant wife, Kayte Walsh, round out our list of cute pregnant celebrities of the week.

Adele is pregnant

Adele

Rumor has it that Adele will soon be rolling in the diapers! The British singer had fans setting fire to the rain when she announced on her website that she was pregnant with her first child with her boyfriend Simon Konecki. We did not see that coming!

"I'm delighted to announce that Simon and I are expecting our first child together," she wrote on her website. "I wanted you to hear the news direct from me, obviously we're over the moon and very excited but please respect our privacy at this precious time."

Although this news did come as a huge surprise, Adele did hint recently when she told People her goal was to have three sons by the time she was 30. “I really want to be a mum,” she said. “I better start getting on with it!”

Congratulations to Adele and we can’t wait to see her growing baby bump!

Anna Paquin

True Blood times two! Anna Paquin, 29, and her husband Stephen Moyer, 42, are expecting twins, a source for Us Weekly reveals.

Their True Blood co-star, Sam Trammell, confirmed the news. “I’m so excited for them,” said Trammell, who also has twin boys. "We sent them a special gift. It's so interesting that True Blood has become, like, the 'twins' show."

Perhaps there is something in the blood-tainted water?

Moyer has two children, 10-year-old Lilac and 12-year-old Billy, from a previous relationship, however Trammell says that raising twins can present its own challenges.

"It's harder, having twins, but it's all we know. So we're trying to impart some decent wisdom," Trammell said. "I told them to hold on tight!"

Even though Kourtney Kardashian could literally give birth at any moment, she still manages to look glowing and gorgeous in a black bump-hugging gown as she and her son, Mason Dash, go to a Calabasas baby boutique. She has quit wearing her usual high heels and has switched to chic sandals and we love how her orange bag gives her a pop of color.

The reality star and her baby daddy, Scott Disick, have been arguing over whether they should get married now that they will have two children together. "The whole reason I had another kid with you is because you agreed to get married," Disick told her on Keeping Up with the Kardashians. "You broke the contract — you broke the deal."

"I know that I'm indecisive but I'm not indecisive with you. I'm obviously committed to us,” she told him.

Tell us: Do you think they should get married?

Pregnant Snooki

Snooki

Jersey Shore star Snooki dressed her baby bump in a black graphic tee paired with bright pink sneakers as she was filming scenes for her new reality show. The reality star is not one to be shy about her pregnancy quirks, and recently revealed that she hates her pregnancy boobs!

"I actually want a big belly now, so I don't mind having brownies or fries," she said. "The only thing is, I've also gone up a cup size: I'm a D now. I just hate my boobs so much!"

Even though Snooki has curbed her hard partying ways during her pregnancy, it sounds like she may pick it right back up again once baby Guido is born.

"If we’re hungover or if we’ve had two drinks, we’re not going near the kid. We’ll give him to Grandma. God forbid we drop our baby!" she said.

Next up:  Kelsey Grammer and his pregnant wife Kayte Walsh

Kelsey Grammer and Kayte Walsh

Kayte Walsh dresses her baby bump in a bright orange dress as she supports her husband, Boss star Kelsey Grammer, as he is honored with the Career Achievement Award at the 48th Hugo Television Awards. The 32-year-old Walsh is expecting twins next month.

"I don't panic about kids," Grammer told E! when asked about the twin news. "They're always a blessing. We'll buy a couple of cribs and take it from there."

Grammer, 57, has four children from past relationships, including his ex-wife, Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Camille Grammer.

Grammer said they know the sex of the twins — and even have names picked out, but said “that is just for us right now.”

Kelsey and Kayte Grammer welcome child, reveal a tragedy

Even as the couple make the announcement of a new daughter, they reveal they did not have twins as they had hoped.

Kelsey GrammerWho says Friday the 13th is bad luck? Not Kelsey Grammer, who welcomed a new daughter this morning.

Grammer and his wife Kayte welcomed Faith Evangeline Elisa Grammer this morning at 1 a.m. in Los Angeles. Faith was just over six pounds.

“We are thrilled,” the couple told People. “Mother and child are in excellent health.”

However, the birth was a reminder of a tragedy the couple experienced earlier this year.

“We were ecstatic earlier this year when we announced that Kayte was carrying twins. Tragically we lost the little boy shortly thereafter,” Kelsey and Kayte told People.

The couple also lost a child in 2010, and did not want to make this most recent loss something they shared with many people.

“This was not something we cared to make known publicly at the time,” they said. “It was unspeakably painful and we know that people will understand our desire to keep the news private then, as we know they will respect our privacy in this matter now.”

The Grammers were married in February 2011, and renewed their vows just last month in Las Vegas, according to MSNBC.

“A glorious birth with a lingering sadness is ours today,” said the couple. “We choose to celebrate the life that has been given us. We proudly introduce our Faith to the world today looking forward to the days ahead and the children yet to come.”

After the 2010 miscarriage and loss of the child earlier this year, Faith becomes the first child born to the Grammers, said MSNBC. Kelsey Grammer also has four children from previous relationships.

The 57-year-old actor and his 31-year-old wife held the baby shower in Chicago, where Kelsey was shooting the second season of the Starz show Boss. He plays the mayor of the city, leaving him little room to shoot elsewhere.

According to Deadline.com, the 10-episode season will premiere on Oct. 21, 2012.

Elton John and husband David Furnish are reportedly expecting a second child through a surrogate, according to The Daily. Find out what weird connection this child will have to Kelsey Grammer and Camille Grammer's kids.

Elton John having a second child according to reports

Elton John might have had a health scare earlier this year, but that's not keeping him from getting a baby brother or sister for his one-year-old son with husband David Furnish.

The British icon, 65, has hired a surrogate from the Center for Surrogate Parenting in Encino, California to carry the couple's second child, according to The Daily. The surrogate — the same one that carried their son Zachary, 18 months — is reportedly in her first trimester.

Oddly enough, she's the same surrogate that carried Kelsey Grammer's two children with ex-wife Camille Grammer.

John hasn't confirmed the news yet, though he did tell the U.K. talk show Daybreak that they were considering it.

"At what stage we don’t know, but … I don’t want him to be an only child," John said.

The singer has a history of keeping things quiet: He recently told Matt Lauer that it took him years to come out of the closet because, well, no one asked.

"Nobody asked me," John told Lauer. "When Cliff Jahr asked me in Rolling Stone, 'I'm going to ask you a question, but if you don't want to answer it, I'm going to turn the tape recorder off.' And I said, 'You're going to ask me if I'm gay or not.' And he said, 'How did you know that?' I said, 'I've been waiting for people to ask me this. It's not exactly a secret. I live with my manager. I'm openly gay outside. I don't have a girlfriend. And nobody's ever actually… I just thought it was common knowledge.'"

Exclusive clip: Boss' Meredith Kane is cold as ice

Behind every great man is a greater woman. Or at least that's what we think. Connie Nielsen brings that strong, unwavering sensibility to the Starz series Boss. She plays Meredith, the thankless wife of Kelsey Grammer's Mayor Kane. Below, SheKnows has an exclusive look at the character in season two.

Meredith Kane Featurette

Starz's acclaimed drama Boss centers on Chicago Mayor Tom Kane and his personal and professional struggles. Every move he makes affects millions of people, especially those closest to him.

Kelsey Grammer is a bad Boss >>

Who receives the brunt of Tom's wrath? Could it be his wife, Meredith Kane, played pitch-perfectly by Danish actress Connie Nielsen?

Immaculately groomed, professional, confident and formidable, Meredith's unassailable public persona seems too embedded to allow her to have or reveal emotion.

Polite but no longer emotionally engaged with her husband, Meredith goes to his public outings without question, and handles her own end of their business.

She spends her time working on projects that fit her agenda. For example, she spearheads an independent educational organization that's funding the city's failing schools -- with steely commitment.

Check out this preview of the calculated Meredith below:

Meredith Kane Character Piece

Aside from Grammer and Nielsen, Boss co-stars Hannah Ware, Jeff Hephner, Kathleen Robertson, Troy Garity and Rotimi. Season two will feature the addition of several new regulars including Jonathan Groff as Ian Todd, a smart and ambitious young advisor to Kane, and Sanaa Lathan as Alderman Ross' strong-willed and politically savvy Chief of Staff, Mona Fredericks.

Kelsey Grammer thinks GOP ties cost him an Emmy nod

The actor said that even though he gives a great performance, some young actors in Hollywood may not be voting for him because of his politics.

Kelsey Grammer wants an Emmy for Kelsey Grammer’s show Boss, which has him playing the mayor of Chicago, has been well received by critics — so well received in fact that Grammer received a Golden Globe for his performance.

But for the actor, that's apparently not enough. He wants an Emmy.

Tuesday night, Grammer appeared on The Tonight Show, where host Jay Leno asked how he felt about not getting the coveted award. His answer was surprising.

"I don’t know, Jay. It's a question that will remain one for me throughout the ages," Grammer told the host.

But as he continued, he showed he clearly did have an idea why he was snubbed.

"I am a declared, out-of-the-closet Republican in Hollywood," he said. "Do I believe it's possible that some young person, young voting actor, or even older voting member for the Emmys, would sit there and go, 'Yeah, that's a great performance, but ooh, I just hate everything he stands for?'"

During the interview, the actor switched between being serious and joking, so it's hard to tell if he really believes what he said.

Leno reminded him he has five Emmys already and asked when Grammer became a Republican.

"Just after that last [Emmy] I became one," Grammer said, seemingly joking.

The rest of the interview was quite silly, or disturbing — depending on how you look at it. Leno asked the actor about a tattoo he had recently gotten of his new wife's name, and Grammer started to unbuckle his pants. The tattoo ended up being just below the beltline! Grammer talked about how proud he is of the tattoo — and, obviously, of his new wife.

Kayte Grammer gave birth to a daughter on July 13 of this year. The couple were married February 2011 and renewed their vows in June in Las Vegas.

The new season of Boss will premiere on Starz on Oct. 21, 2012.

Kelsey Grammer seems disgusted with ex-wife Camille Grammer as he tells Oprah about the divorce.

Kelsey Grammer isn't one to shy away from voicing his opinions. In a new interview with Oprah on an upcoming episode of Oprah's Next Chapter, Kelsey discusses everything from his career to his love life. In a preview of the Grammer-Oprah interview, Kelsey makes it clear he has zero affection for his ex-wife, Camille Grammer.

Oprah starts of by summing up why Kelsey Grammer left Camille. Kelsey nods as Oprah explains, "You already knew your marriage was over. It had already gone on too long, according to you, because it was over when it started. It was a facade. But you lacked the courage to come home and say so." Kelsey confirms and goes on, "Yeah, I did. And I did believe that I owed something to that person. That I owed fame."

Shockingly, Kelsey Grammer goes to great lengths to avoid saying his ex-wife's name. Oprah asks, "You won't say her name?" Kelsey responds as he shakes his head, "No." Oprah then asks in disbelief, "You believe you owed [Camille] fame?" Kelsey nods and, in a subtle but very sarcastic tone, explains that Camille demanded fame as payment for the miserable life she endured with him over their fourteen-year marriage.

Kelsey Grammer says, "Because [Camille] had given up so much to endure this horrible life she had with me… and I did believe what she said — and that is what she said." Oprah continues with her interview and says to Kayte Grammer that she is painted as "the other woman who stole [Kelsey] away from his marriage and children." As Kayte nods, Kelsey can't resist a laugh as he responds, "Yeah, right!"

Camille Grammer has definitely moved on from her marriage to Kelsey Grammer. Now she's getting rid of the last thing they shared together -- their Malibu mansion.

Camille Grammer selling home she shared with Kelsey GrammerFormer Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Camille Grammer is moving on in a big way from Kelsey Grammer and their messy divorce —she's selling the Malibu house they shared together, according to Trulia.

The sprawling mansion — listed for $17.9 million and featured on the hit Bravo reality show — features an astounding nine bedrooms, 12.5 bathrooms and "a grand main residence with gourmet kitchen designed by Wolfgang Puck, a large master suite with spectacular ocean views, a living room, great room, library, and Creston engineered home theater room with large projection screen," according to the listing.

Whoa. We might even marry Kelsey to get in on something like that. Just kidding... maybe.

It's apparent the former lovebirds still aren't on speaking terms — Kelsey wouldn't even say her name in an interview with Oprah.

As for Camille? She's moved on to a hot, young Greek boyfriend, Dimitri.

"He's tall, 6'2", dark, handsome," she told E! Online after they got together last fall. "He loves to cook. I call him my Greek god."

He apparently gets along with her children she had with Kelsey too.

"He's great with my kids and he's good with me," she added. "My son's really taken a liking to him, and my daughter and him get along as well."

He might even change her mind about marriage.

"At some point, possibly yes," she added to the website. "A year ago I would have said I definitely never, I will never enter into that kind of agreement. But now I've definitely changed my mind."

We'd be weary of marriage too. Hopefully leaving the mansion behind will give her the fresh start she wants.

Boss, set in Chicago, revolves around the city's mayor, Tom Kane. Secretly battling a neurological disorder that is progressively diminishing his ability to function, Kane struggles to hold it all together.

Kelsey Grammer in <em>Boss</em>

After a critically acclaimed first season, the second season of Boss is off to an exciting start. The Starz political drama premiered its second season on Friday, Aug. 17 at 9/8c.

Kane isn't just challenged by his condition. His strength is further tested by a failing marriage and subordinates who are only looking out for themselves.

Synopsis:

While Kane is able to conceal his degenerative condition for a while, those close to him slowly begin to realize something is amiss. However, the mayor of Chicago is determined to stay in command.

In Season 2, Kane is under heavy attack from just about everyone. Now that he's finally showing some weakness, there's no shortage of politically hungry newcomers looking to further their careers at his expense. Soon, the mayor is even dealing with a close brush with death.

If you missed the premiere, you can go to the Starz website and watch it now to get caught up. After watching the episode, don't be surprised if you're hooked and check in weekly to see Grammer at his best.

Why should you watch?

The first season of Boss was nominated for a Golden Globe in the Best Drama Series category. Grammer was nominated and won a Golden Globe for Best Actor in a Television Series Drama. With a shortage of riveting political dramas in recent years, Boss is able to shine in this difficult-to-master genre. Kelsey Grammer is wonderful, and the twists and turns will keep you on the edge of your seat.
