Anyone who watches Thursday night's premiere episode of "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" will see an interesting scene with Kelsey Grammer, soon-to-be ex-husband of Camille, where he appears on camera supporting his wife's decision to be a part of the show. Although the scene ends with Kelsey driving off (to the airport, presumably) to spend a year in New York to appear on Broadway's "La Cage Aux Folles" (and ultimately take up with a girlfriend, Kayte Walsh), Grammer is nothing short of enthusiastic about his wife's participation; a gesture that in hindsight, might not have been without motive. "Camille initially said no (to doing the show) because she didn’t want to do it because of Kelsey," fellow cast member Adrienne Maloof said on the eve of the premiere. "I said talk to him about it, he might feel differently." Camille did just that: "It turned out he actually really really wanted me to do it," she said. "We had dinner and he wanted her to do it," Adrienne continued. "He called the producers and said 'You can film at the opening of 'La Cage Aux Falles' in New York!' Maybe he thought you (Camille) should be distracted though." "Yes, I thought of that afterwards," Camille responded. The Grammers' divorce is not yet final. "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" airs Thursday on Bravo, at 10 p.m. ET. Related
