Camille Grammer Lands New Job with CNN

By Christine Fenno Posted Feb 20th 2011 01:52PM

Is there a new Joan Rivers in town?

After her recently finalized divorce from Kelsey Grammer, 'Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' star Camille Donatacci Grammer is moving on, and ready to talk -- about Hollywood style, anyway.

Grammer, 42, has been hired as a fashion commentator to help cover the Academy Awards' red carpet for CNN's live Oscar arrivals special, 'Showbiz Tonight: Road Gold.'

"We can't wait to get Camille's unabashed take on Hollywood's biggest night," said a CNN exec producer of the network's broadcast.

While dealing on the home front with the quickie divorce her ex requested, the mother of two has been staying busy on camera in recent weeks. Grammer's season of 'Housewives' ended in drama in January, and just last week, she popped up in a guest role on William Shatner's CBS sitcom '$#*! My Dad Says.' Still, she denies that she's pursuing any full-time acting work.

At the Oscars next weekend, Grammer will reportedly man a microphone alongside regular 'Showbiz Tonight' hosts AJ Hammer and Brooke Anderson, as they candidly discuss the pre-ceremony parade of fashions gracing the Kodak Theater entrance. The trio will also receive input from actress Sheryl Lee Ralph and radio personality Carlos Diaz, according to CNN.

Of course, a "new and improved" theme seems to be permeating the 83rd Annual Oscars this year. The entire evening will introduce fresh takes on old traditions -- most notably, the debut of young co-hosts James Franco and Anne Hathaway. When the festivities kick off in Los Angeles on Feb. 27, follow PopEater for live updates as we cover the fashions, winners, upsets and (here's hoping!) unscripted surprises.

CNN keeps sinking lower & lower... FoX=1!
Doesn't someone w/ real tallent deserve the job?
Certainly not this bimbo who just made 50mil off her ex.

By yayabeanes

I don't care for her. either. But let see she made 40 mil off a nose picking booger eating Pig of a Prince Charming that cheated on her and all of last few wives, dumped tham for much younger females and then left his children to fend for themselves while he goes off to be "happy." Oh, yeah, he did get caught on videotape picking and eating it.

Amen to that. OMG!!! Camille is a glorified porno ho, has Anti-Social Personality Disorder, and you want to make her (poster child for underhanded mean behavior) a further star? Talk about rewarding bad behavior. Well, maybe people will watch her the first time to see whether she goes down in flames... we can only hope, but I hope that will be the end of her. I personally wish she'd fade back into the walls of her home, never to be seen again. Kelsey might have cheated on her, but she hasn't acted like a wife for a very long time. I'll tell you now... we won't be watching her here or on HWBH. She's rubbish.

By Lindi

well, I know what I won't be watching ..... CNN!!! For them to take on the Media HOE Camille, forget that, I am above watching trash. CNN you can go to bed with her, not I!

What the heck is wron with the networks? Remember when you got a job because you were qualified? TV networks are like no one else...they hire you if you have drama in your personal life. Amazing that they keep the qualified unemployed and hire people who are in the news themselves.

By darbar

Just what keeps CNN from any credibility, hiring another dumb Hollywood type to cover the "news". This woman has as much intelligence as gummy bear. Why do they think we would care what a divorcee/stripper/exotic dancer/porn movie person has to say about fashion?

By karsim123

This is a joke, right??

She's a hard ridden looking 42!

By Fox is In, CNN is Out.

Yikes.. I honestly thought she was way older than 42! CNN is obviously sinking to a new low. CNN can kiss my grits.

By JennyT

U R RIGHT! 42? She looks like she's in her mid-50's EASY.

Geesh people. What's the big deal? They gave her a one shot deal regarding the Oscars. It's not like it will turn into a full time job. Good for her though. After what Kelsey did, she deserves a little personal success.

By Cathy

This divorce has served Camille well!! It will be tough too since she is now a single parent having to make a living to pay the taxes on the millions she got, upkeep of property and keeping her staff of four nannies, a household operations person and the people who have to keep up the grounds. God life is tough, isn't it?

I wonder how much of her mils is for child support--no taxes on child support.

By jimall3

Did you hear that CNN plans to keep Spitzer, the corrupt former NY governor ousted for frequenting prostitutes with public funds? The ratings are low so rather than fire Spitzer they are going to fire the nice woman who cohosts with him. Clearly CNN LIKE Spitzer and clearly the show is a vehicle just special for him. SICK disgusting and grostesque. Is Spitzer related to someone at CNN for God's sake? Same with this woman? Why her? Isnt she rated as the most hated housewife of all time? It makes no sense? You have to be UNpopular to get a job at CNN? Something is very wrong with that network.

Just what the world needs another moron of a man and a Pig of a Prince Charming (this one wears his socks while cheating on his wife) on Tv and in the media field reporting on this and that when he couldn't keep his little pecker in his pants until he got home to be with his wife.

Just one more reason to continue NOT watching CNN. They've lost their minds. CNN = crap, not news.
