Kelsey Grammer has partnered with an established reality show production company through which he will presumably produce reality shows. According to his estranged wife Camille, it was Kelsey’s idea for her to go on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. She’s said that Kelsey did it to distract her while he lived with his mistress in New York, but maybe he had a business motivation too. The question is whether Kelsey will create some kind of reality show for himself and his fiance in an attempt to earn back the public’s good will after so publicly wronging Camille. Here’s the report from US Weekly:
Apparently Kelsey Grammer didn’t feel his cameos on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills were enough.
The 55-year-old actor — who famously ended his 13-year marriage to Camille Grammer (née Donatacci) while she was filming the hit Bravo show — has partnered up with reality TV veteran Stella Bulochnikov-Stolper to form G3 Productions.
According to Variety, the two have embarked on a joint venture with Zodiak USA to develop reality series concepts and formats that can be sold and distributed around the world.
Bulochnikov-Stolper, a former VH1 programming exec who also masterminded Paris Hilton’s My New BFF, is currently working with Grammer on the Starz drama Boss.
“I knew that Kelsey loved this space and would love to pop some big shows,” Bulochnikov-Stolper says. “The idea that he would lend his name and brain and star power to working on some formats was so exciting to me, and then to have a partner like Zodiak to produce them and sell them all over the world — that’s really going to produce some fireworks.”

US Weekly titles this “Kelsey Grammer Wants His Own Reality Show,” but in the original article they source on Variety there’s no mention of a Kelsey-centric show. It seems like a likely next move. I could easily see him creating a reality show for himself and that Kayte character he took up with behind his wife’s back. It could be a stupid move but Kelsey is an excellent actor and he could convince people that he’s a decent guy despite all the evidence otherwise. I’m sure he’ll hide his high heels and lingerie.
Kelsey is still trying to rush his divorce, probably because that 29 year-old stewardess he’s engaged to is from England and needs a visa. (Although he denies this.) Camille is pushing back through her lawyers and is fighting Kelsey’s move to “bifurcate” the divorce, which means he wants to be legally free to marry someone else right away and will deal with all the property settlement issues later. In court papers detailed by Radar Online, Camille’s lawyer lists their assets at over $120 million, including “a substantial estate which includes multiple real estate properties and their corresponding furnishings, numerous pieces of valuable art, many investment, brokerage, and bank accounts, over twenty-five vehicles.” Who needs 25 cars and houses all over the world? They may have earned over a hundred million together, but I’m surprised they’re in the black because that’s some Nicolas Cage level f*ckery.

Poor Camille.

How DID they accumulate 100 mill? Must have some smart advisers

Ugh. Guess there’s no such thing as bad publicity and Grammer’s planning to try to cash in on the recent media blitzkrieg.

Long ago I was a fan of his. Now I am just greatly nauseated by him. And I do mean greatly.

Is Kayte pronounced Kate or Kateee?
That’s a no for me on watching Kelsey on a reality show but def would watch Camille’s spin off if she gets one which could suck…if there’s no one around for her to offend.

I don’t think he has to work hard to win back public favor–fortunately for him, Camille has done that for him with her own reality show!

Next to Camille, ANYONE would look good, no matter WHAT he does/did.

I will love the show Frasier forever. However, in Grammer’s personal life, you can sort of tell what an unpleasant human being he is by the fact that he looks more and more like the painting in the attic (Picture of Dorian Gray). I don’t just mean age — I mean the perpetually narrowed eyes, lines set by years of mean expressions, etc.
He’s starting to look like Fred Thompson’s twin basically. That principled Republican also has his trophy wife #(variable):

Sure, he will have his own reality show so he can be dumped by his new girlfriend and then go back to Camille and his kids, wow, prime time for that crap.

I love Kelsey the actor, hate Kelsey the human being. And just hate Camille the lizard.

I love the guy, too. As far as I’m concerned, after all he went through with his sister, and still goes through with his sister, he can do what he needs to do to be happy.

These two again? This…Kelmille? I vote for bifurcation for the bi(coastal) actor. Immediately. Then the game can really begin. Tee-hee:-)
Love him when he’s at work; not so fond of her but not hatin’, either. I still think this divorce mess and their recent reality tv fetish is all a fake, contrived front that they both unconsciously started but are consciously trying to outfinish each other with. That was the major activity in their marriage, producing fronts and shows. Feelin’ really bad for the womb-rented yet adorable kids, tho, including Kayte.
I think Kelsey should bring back that Steve Martin scholarship reality show, The Scholar, I think it was called. It was good, better than most in the genre, and very Frazierish. If his image as a devoted family man is tarnished, at least he can still maximize on his lovable geekism.

There has always, to me, been a sense of sadness around Kelsey Grammer. A sad man driven by demons no amount of therapy will get rid of.

What kind of a name is Kayte? I’m all for unusual names but this is just a dumb spelling of Kate (or Katie?).

Looks like Kelsey used Camille as a guinea pig for a reality show marketing test.

@Ruffian9- I agree Kelsey does seem like a very complex and sad person. With his sister and father he barely knew being murdered, I would imagine he does have demons.

NO he has had his hands in producing shows for years. Its just another money maker. I highly doubt he would star in a reality show with his new girl. I cant imagine him stooping to reality level after being so successful on tv.
