In its infinite wisdom, CNN has hired
Camille Donatacci--whom you know better as
Kelsey Grammer's most recent ex-wife,
Camille Grammer--to co-host its Oscar red-carpet coverage Sunday.
(And you thought
Piers Morgan was stunt casting!)
In honor of Newport Beach-born Donatacci-Grammer's gig, we present five of her most memorable moments.
Amazingly, they mirror those of
Katie Couric!
Camille spun a dancing career that landed her in several music videos and
Club MTV in the 1980s into a modeling career in the '90s that included appearing nude in several
Playboy publications. That led to a brief soft-porn career in flicks such as
Marilyn Chambers'
Bedtime Stories, New York Nights.
She met Kelsey Grammer on a blind date in 1996. Despite his having already been engaged thrice before and married twice before--Kelsey says his second wife, a stripper, was abusive, shot a gun at him
and, after talk of divorce a year into their marriage, attempted
suicide, causing a miscarriage--Camille married him in
Malibu in 1997. Via a surrogate mother, they had two children to go along with the
Frazier star's other three.
