Camille Grammer Previews Her $#*! My Dad Says

http://www.blogcdn.com/www.tvsquad.com/media/2011/02/camillegrammer300.jpgOnce upon a time, before she was one of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and before she famously splitting with husband Kelsey Grammer, Camille Grammer was an aspiring actress.

Now, she's jumping into that world again -- for a little while at least -- starting with a guest-starring role on $#*! My Dad Says Thursday, Feb. 17, at 8:30PM ET on CBS. And in this exclusive video, she told us that shooting the role was an "incredible" experience.

"My character Camille is a basically a parody on myself, obviously, from Housewives," she said. "Just making fun of it, you know, making fun of all the quirky things I do and say."

The role also plays on her image as a diva. "There's a scene that I basically run in and I'm mad because somebody ate my brownie so I want them fired or killed," Grammer laughed.



Grammer admitted that she was "very green and it's been awhile," but added that she was excited for the opportunity.

"I think for any performer to be able to act in front of a live studio audience is great, because you feed off of that energy," she said.

As for what's coming up next in her life, Grammer had no idea beyond "finalizing my divorce and moving on from my life." Her marriage with Kelsey Grammer was dissolved last week, and she hasn't decided yet whether she'd be part of a new season of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. The first season's taping was so tumultuous, she tried to quit.

"I don't know. The producers and I have been talking about that in the last week or so," she told TV.com.

One thing she probably won't be doing is acting full-time. As she told E! Online, "I'm not pursuing this. I definitely have to go back and take some acting classes if I was! But I have to say, my experience was very enjoyable and of course it would be something I would love to do."

Camille Grammer Reflects: 'Maybe, I Was Naïve'

http://blog.zap2it.com/frominsidethebox/real-housewives-beverly-hills-camille-grammer-bravo-getty-275.jpgCamille Grammer is truly embarking on a new life journey these days. Her divorce with Kelsey Grammer is now official. The final episode of Bravo's The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills airs Tuesday (Feb. 15) with the producer's cut of the dinner from hell. And this Thursday, she's guest starring in the season finale of the CBS sitcom, $#*! My Dad Says.

"I play basically a parody of myself," Camille tells Zap2it about her guest appearance. "I'm a real housewife from San Diego and I'm a divorcee. And I'm looking for a new house for me and my children. So, basically it's a parody of my life, but I'm not looking for a house yet."

Zap2It also spoke to the housewife about how she felt about her rollercoaster ride of a Real Housewives season and what she's planning for this next chapter in her life.

When we spoke with you right after the season premiered, you said you edited yourself a bit and it might have affected how you appeared on-camera.
You know, basically my marriage was falling apart and the cameras were rolling. It's a very difficult position to be in.

What was your decision process like regarding what you would allow the cameras to see?
You know when I went into it, I thought the producers liked me, because they thought I was playful and had a silly quality about myself. I don't know if it was seen as silly on 'Housewives.' It kind of turned into something else. You know, as we were filming the whole Nick thing - that was all just for fun. You know, I'm not having an affair with Nick, never did. He's one of my best friends. His wife is one of my best friends, too. He's very close to Kelsey. So, we went into this thinking, 'let's just have fun with it.' So, maybe I should have taken it a little more seriously.

We speak to a lot of housewives and they usually say the first season is trial by fire.
Absolutely, you don't know. I've heard Lisa [Vanderpump] say I was naïve going into it. And maybe, I was naïve going into it. I just thought, 'Oh, it's going to be fun. We're just going to have fun with it.'

We recently spoke to New York housewife, Alex McCord, who was also unhappy about how she came off in her first season. She told us she believes you should return for Season 2 and make things right. Do you believe that you can do that and do you think you'll come back?
The producers and I have all been talking about it. So, will I come back? Maybe. I haven't made my final decision yet. I think it's something we all have to decide together and we're still discussing that.

Camille Grammer Talks Life After Divorce

http://images.zap2it.com/images/celeb-371311/camille-grammer-1.jpgCamille Grammer is back on track!

Yes, the Real Housewife of Beverly Hills had her divorce from Kelsey Grammer finalized last Thursday, but this Thursday she'll be guest-starring on the hit CBS sitcom $#*! My Dad Says as, well, a recently divorced reality star named Camille who's going house-hunting with help from two characters on the show.
We just chatted with the reality babe, and here's what she revealed to us exclusively about how she's coping after the end of her 14-year marriage, when Kelsey is getting married again and if she'll be back on Real Housewives after the tumultous first season

What's in store for you in this new part of your life?Everything! It's a new journey. My divorce is finalized…I'm working on my children. I'm really focusing on the kids and what's next in my life, simplifying my life and making sure my kids are happy. They're my No. 1 priority at this point.

How are you planning for the future?
I'm still working through that. It's quite a process…[I'm talking to] friends, business associates, absolutely.

Your character on $#*! My Dad Says is divorced, even though in real life your divorce was not final when you shot this episode. Did you push to speed up the divorce so your character's background would match your background?The divorce wasn't finalized [when we shot this]. It's irrelevant. Absolutely irrelevant. Kelsey was pushing obviously because he wants to get married, and he's getting married, um…soon. In the next couple of weeks.

Do you plan to move to a new house at any point, like your character "Camille" on $#*! My Dad Says?At some point I probably will move. It's just me and my kids, I don't need this much property. It would be nice to downsize, you know, simplify my life a bit. Move on, start something fresh, something new for myself, you know?

Would you stay in Los Angeles?I want to stay in L.A. I've been here for 14 years. I love it here, I have friends here, and my children have grown up here. They're so young, but my daughter has established her friends, and she's very happy in the school she's in, and I don't want to uproot her life. No.

Can you tell us which Housewives are off the show next season?I don't know who is leaving or staying at this point. They keep that separate from us.

How did you feel about the RHOBH experience overall?Obviously I've stated in the press that I was unhappy how it turned out, but I think towards the end…I was happy with the reunion shows. Absolutely. [On a reality show] you get to step back and see yourself in a light that you would never expect. You're just like, "Wow. How'd that come off?" But when…it was so funny, because when we did our eight-hour reunion show, we, all the girls, sat there and said, "Wow, this was cathartic." [Laughs.] Wow, whew, that was a lot of work.
