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.

Kelsey is a staunch Republican. Camille is uppity and snotty. All woman are so jealous of her, she says. What's the wonder he strayed? I'm Team Kelsey!

I don't care for her either but I do not support adulterers, period. Especially a Pig of a Prince Charming who has cheated on of his wives, dumped them and then leaves his children to fend for themselves just so he can be "happy."

I just lost all respect for CNN!!! Do you really think we care what an ex porno star thinks about fashion?? I have lost all respect for your program advisors. Really!!?? You want to attract the type of viewers who find an over botoxed, big lipped, bimbo interesting. SELLOUTS!!!!!

By It's A Farce, I tell ya!

Not to mention that everyone is conspiring against her lol. CNN & Camille are both delusional! I think I'll start reading MORE, thanks but no thanks CNN.

OMG, does CNN have a death wish? can't believe that they would hire Camille Grammer. She has a sickening demeaner. She looks bored with life. CNN please get someone who is not so plastic looking, someone who looks alive. I'm for poor Kelsey 100%.

By EzraKleinLovr

Why did they need HER "unabashed take" ?? Is CNN THAT pathetically uncreative ? Jesus christ........

By Kermonk

"Hello, CNN. This is Camille grammer. I'm listening".

By grahampink

Seriously, she's 42?
Talk about ridden hard and put away wet.
My wife and mother of our three children is 47, and she looks
a whole lot fresher then the former Mrs Grammer.

The Oscars are crap, ever since they ignored true movie stars as presenters. There are no real young stars today of any significance. Sad really.

CNN has more duds than the makers of Milk Duds! Add this floozy dud to the heap!

CNN has to keep up with Fox by hiring another bleach blonde bimbo. BTW Fox has more soft porn than any other network. I remember the days when cleavage,short skirts and spiked heels was for "hoes", but now you can see it on Fox and CNN every day and evening. Its not about the news anymore, its about who has the best "hoes".

By LORRAINE
