Frasier TV

So, Kelsey Grammer, of Frasier fame, apparently likes wearing woman's underwear, according to his 3rd ex wife, Camille. She filed for divorce back in July, after learning that he had got his mistress, and soon to be wife number 4, pregnant.

Well, seeing as she is seeking a $50 million settlement in the divorce despite being fairly wealthy in her own right, and is bitter enough to drag out the divorce proceedings mainly to delay Kelsey's next wedding until after the baby is born, we are going to make a snap judgment and call this another example of "Hell hath no fury like a woman booted out for a younger model."

It happens all the time. Look in any paper. Hunt headlines on your favorite news aggregator. The ex from hell is bad news. Claims of rape, molestation, addiction all fly around like leaves in a hurricane. It is a tactic that sadly works far too well in divorces where custody cases are also involved. But this? This is, quite simply, sad and stupid beyond belief.

Look, he got his bit on the side pregnant. Dumb, yes. Immoral, I really don't know the ins and outs of the marriage well enough to decide, but probably. But as any guy anywhere, who has accidentally put on a pair of his girlfriend's panties in the dark can tell you; crushed and overheated testicles don't fire live rounds!

But say, for the sake of argument and blog length, that it is true.

Well, so bloody what? He wears what he wears. Clothes are part of the performance we all put on to others every day, whether in front of the camera, or behind the checkout in the supermarket. Part of who we are and who we wish to be perceived as. Our business. No one else's. If he wants to wear a pair of women's panties, or a full length ballgown, in the privacy of his own home, who the hell cares. Is it any different to a woman wearing trousers?

The guy is an actor, for gods sake. He dresses as a transvestite in "La Cage Aux Folles," true, but he also dressed as a 16th century Scottish king in MacBeth. (He was really much better than the critics said.)

A sharp suit, which apparently had an integral stick up the a*s, was his main wardrobe in Frasier for years. I wasn't a huge fan of his character, as you can tell. Eddie, Dad and Daphne were more my favorites.

The years worth of work time he spent doing X Men, in a blue fur costume that took several hours to put on, would make him a closet furry then?

Actors, more than anyone else, know the essential meaninglessness and futility of "What Not to Wear."

Kelsey Grammer doesn't often talk about the divorce. That is something I can respect a lot. But, should he ever wish to respond to the allegations, all he needs to bear in mind that his ex is an actress.

Suggesting that an actress and former model has the same hip and waist size as a 55 year old man would really, really hurt. And shut her up sharpish. Well, it is Hollywood.

Whatever comes out of these gossip mongers in Hollywood, I just don't care. They are just as ugly, fat, and screwed up as the rest of us.

You said "furry." I freaking new it, M M. O.o

Hmmm, I think the gentleman (MM) doth protest too much? :)

Mystery Man

Sorry, I wear only bunny slippers at home. Maybe a towel if I have guests.

Roxanne

haha I appreciate this blog bc I feel the same way. No one else's business what legal things he enjoys

I've never really understood that one. Men's underwear are SO much more comfortable than women's. Maybe not as pretty (maybe? haha) but certainly tops in the "feels better down under" department.

But, hey, whatever melts your butter.

Well, yes, as usual you are right. What he wears in the PRIVACY of his home is, you guessed it, PRIVATE.

I am a huge fan of this American sitcom. Frasier has eleven seasons and I have seen all of them.
