BlindGossip – 
This award-winning actor has always led a double life. He married his beard, but it was never a real marriage. Just a business partnership. Then he got a new acting gig… and a new twink boyfriend… and a new beard. Poor wifey, right? Not at all. She knew what the deal was all along. Besides, she’s not exactly moping around her gilded cage of a house. She’s had a boyfriend in the wings the whole time.
Camille and Kelsey.
gilded cage, wings… words to do with birds, must be a clue…
Why do I want to say Camille?
Oh, Camille.
Gilded cage, wings – Kelsey in La Cage, which was made into “The Bird Cage” for the film version.
I think the phrase “and a new beard” is a clue also. If his wife is already a “beard” how can he have “a new beard”? Unless, they mean it literally..So, who has left a beard recently? Is it Christian Bale? Hmm..I don’t think so, however the clues that point to “birds” seem to fit as he is “Batman” after all, a bat (which could be considered a kind of bird). But I don’t think it’s him honestly, unless he is bisexual.
Bale is married since 2000(and he wasn’t known at this time) and they had a kid:that doesn’t look alike a partnership in my opinion and until this week,he didn’t work since 2010 summer
That looks alike more someone who is separating with his wife and who works in a TV show
Sorry to shoot down your guess here, but a bat cannot, in any way, be considered a kind of bird.
The new beard would be the woman kelsey is engaged to now
It sounds like Tom Cruise to me. Not sure what the new acting gig could be though.
First post after two years of lurking. Yay for me!!!
Chips ahoy! Love, BG
I think of Cruise also. I remember in an old interview Nicole said,” A gilded cage is still a cage”.
Yep I think Tom and Katie too. Here is an article where Nicole is talking about a character and uses the phrase “a kept woman in a gilded cage”. Here is the link: http://www.urbancinefile.com.au/home/view.asp?a=4835&s=interviews
And here is an article in Woman’s Day (An Aussie gossip/lifestyle magazne) where author Amy Scobee discribes Katie as living in a gilded cage. She bases this on what she knew of Tom-Nicole’s marriage. http://womansday.ninemsn.com.au/celebrityheadlines/1046661/katies-tourment-why-i-can-never-leave-tom
However, there are also the words “double life”, “TWINk” and I think if these are clues and it’s about Bale, they point to his role in “Prestige” where he played twins..
But I refuse to believe it’s him!
Hugh Jackman was also in the prestige, and added a beard, and has a business partnership with his wife. I say him.
Is Joaquin Phoenix married?
No
What about Kelsey Grammar? I’ve never heard anything about him being gay, but he has a long run in la caGe aux folles (the birdcage), just left Camille for a new girl, etc.
All of the clues fit those two, but it’s a little much to believe. I’ve never heard a gay rumor about him, and if these were just beards, wouldn’t he be signing prenups? And why leave one when he has young kids only to get another? It doesn’t add up.
And if this is true, does that mean that the sex tape mentioned in the previous blind about them doesn’t have her in it? It only said that it had her husband in it, now that I think about it.
Ok so wait, the guy left his wife for a new beard and also has a secret boyfriend? Is that what this is saying?
i understood the same stuff: he left his wife for a new beard and has a secret boyfriend
Another one that I’d refuse to believe but fits the clues is Pierce Brosnan…the double life thing/new gig might refer back to James Bond days. I thought Daniel Craig but don’t think he’s ever been married.
Pierce has been with his wife for absolute years though hasn’t he?
Kelssey grammar. Was doing la cage in NYC. The film version was called the bird cage. His new beard has a BF waiting in the wings. Perhaps she’s dating someone in the show. And there are plenty of twinks to go around in NYC.
wings! kelsey’s fiance is a former flight attendent.
Michael C. Hall? Double life in Dexter. But can he been called “award-winning actor”?
He hasn’t gotten a new acting gig since Dexter, at least not anything significant, so the wife in question would have to be his first wife. They separated like 4 or 5 years ago, so I can’t imagine she’s the one with the boyfriend in the wings.
If the blind didn’t include the new acting gig part, it’d fit really well with Jennifer as the wife with Julia Stiles as the new beard, but I just don’t know what his new acting gig would be.
Sure. He’s won a GGlobe & SAG award each for Dexter.
Kelsy Grammar and his to-be ex wife Camille. Everyone knows she has a live in boyfriend and has had him for years. And the hollywood crowd all know Kelsey is gay and for the most part has his boyfriend living with him the entire time Camille and he were married.
Camille has been a hired escort who has been stealing Kelsey blind that is why he had to trade her in for a better ‘beard” with a better contract and who he thinks he can trust. Kelsey could not trust Camille with his MONEY — he could care less what she does aside from business.
I’m going to agree with you (interesting background info you provide) because Camille claims they haven’t had sex in 2 years and only had it a few times in the 14 or so years they’ve been married. That’s odd, especially for the earlier years of their marriage, when they should have been hot for each other. Camille was an escort, so why would Kelsey marry her and then only have sex a few times with her?
And when asked, Camille said the “no sex” was more on his part. Odder still!
you put forward a very good case, Sandy. Kelsey and Camille for the win.
Wow! This is juicy! I never knew that!
So I guess the previous blind about the “elderly” guy “kept up all night” by his new, young girlfriend is NOT Kelsey Grammar?
It makes sense that Kelsey would want to stay closeted, given his womanizing, serial-dater role as Fraiser. But if it’s true, it means the actresses who played Daphne and Roz were the only straight actors playing main characters on that show.
So John Mahoney is gay too?
Yes, John Mahoney is gay.
Don’t tell me Eddie was gay!
Hugh Jackman?
He works with his wife.
Since his beak-up with Palermo, he may be able to find another boyfriend and Wolverine’s filming starts soon
He’s not separating with his wife
Hugh J. would actually be an awesome guess, but his wife is strongly believed to also prefer same-sex mates so they beard for eachother and she wouldn’t have a bf in the wings (maybe a GF though)….
Yup YUP!
I know it’s a typo but I love the idea of a beak-up. All kInds of cartoon imagery in my mind!
LOL It’s Kelsey Grammer. He is onstage doing the La Cage A Faux. I always wondered about him. This is great! One of the more cleverly crafted blinds in awhile! Bravo BG
Kelsey Grammer
Kelsey Grammer
boyfriend in the wings…makes me think the travolta’s….
That was my thought as well – John Travolta/Kelly Preston. Travolta’s a pilot (wings). But he doesn’t have a new “beard” does he?
Maybe the new beard is the baby. He didn’t get rid of his old beard, he just layered a new one with it to help with the whole family image.
BUT….the rest of the blind doesn’t really fit him. The line about ‘a new acting gig’ makes it sound like its someone who’s getting a series or something steady.
of course it’s kelsey and camille!!
I don’t get it. If he has a wife as a beard, why get another beard? Why not play the devoted husband? I would imagine the wife would get a decent settlement if they got divorced, so why bother. Unless the actor is Bi and has a new BF and GF, or as someone suggested, he has actually grown a beard. I have no idea who this might be. It could be just about any married actor. He must be fairly successful and established though. Has Robin Williams (The Birdcage) won any awards?
camille seems crafy perhaps she wanted more money to keep his little secret quiet and so kelsey thought it would be better just to end it now and go off with a younger beard who isnt so money hungry i dunno
Because he can’t stand that nasty Camille for one more second, is my guess.
Another guess: What about Kelsey Grammer? If the blind suggests he is separating from his wife and found another woman as “beard”, he fits, doesn’t he? He is filing for divorce to marry someone else, isn’t he? He is also an actor, won 2 Golden Globes PLUS he has appeared (and got nominated) in a TV show back in the 90′s called “Wings” (the clue from the blind)!
Kelsey Grammer. He is award winning, Tonys, Emmy’s, Golden Globes. He is currently on broadway in Cage Aux Follies. He appearred on Wings. He moved East to do Broadway and left Camille in Beverly Hills and then suddenly announced he had a new gf.
Katie Holmes
I think they mean a face type beard
For the new beard – I mean
I agree. I think “poor wifey” has not been pushed aside for a new “beard,” but the actor / husband is now sporting facial hair (and a new boyfriend). So many actors are now growing beards (the facial hair in this instance) that I can’t even begin to guess who it is.
OK I just re-read the blind and am now thinking the husband wife have split up. No idea.
This is ABSOLUTELY Kelsey Grammer.
1. new gig = Broadway show
2. ‘In the wings’ = Broadway show
3. His Broadway show is a musical version of the Birdcage – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Cage_aux_Folles_(musical)
4. This picture is like one of the huge houses on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, where Camille stars
5. “Business partnership” is how Taylor on Real Housewives always describes her marriage.
6. New beard = flight attendant he is marrying.
Kelsey Grammer FTW!!!
He also won Emmys and Golden Globes for Frasier
and he is onstage doing La Cage A Faux….(the bird cage)
The “wings” could also refer to his new beard who is a former stewardess
Kelsey Grammer
Wife: Camille Grammer
Old Beard: Camille Donatacci Grammer
New Beard: Kayte Walsh
“new acting gig,” “gilded cage” & “in the wings”: La Cage aux Folles
I’m going to go with Kelsy Grammer. He is in the birdcage show on broadway and recently left his wife. There are rumors about him cross dressing and she said they never had sex. Just trying to think of something differant.
Grrrr I’m in moderation, but Kelsey Grammar just to be differant
Kelsey and Camille Grammer? He’s won awards, yes? And he was in La Cage a Folles.
And why do all my comments go into moderation now? Some of them aren’t even being posted.
My comment is still in moderation, so my guess is Kelsey and Camlle Grammer.
mine too….
Kelsey Grammar. Currently on Broadway starring in La Cage aux Folles. He played Dr. Frasier Crane. I think the clues fit.
This reads as, he broke up with the wife and has a new beard and boyfriend. Who has divorced or broken up recently?
Kelsey Grammer
Agreed. This screams Kelsey. ‘Cage’ = La Cage. And Crazy Camille said to Barbara Walters that they hadn’t ‘slept together’ in a couple of years; that it was more of a biz partnership or something to that effect.
Kelsey and Camille Grammer? He’s an award winning actor; The cage and bird references could hint towards his role in La Cage Aux Folles-his new acting gig. He’s dumping Camille for that 29 year old-new beard?
And with no prenup Camille is definitely going to make out like a bandit from the divorce so she really shouldn’t be complaining. Especially since everytime she flaps her gums she reveals how much of a sham their marriage was in the first place.
They were set up by his agent, had admittedly limited physical contact throughout their marriage. And everytime I saw her crying on Housewives I got the impression it was just horrid acting. Like she has reason to feel sad, especially because they have kids together but something never felt “right” about their marriage.
What makes no sense, though, is his refusal to get another prenup if his new bride-to-be is a beard. Why wouldn’t he protect himself and his business assets? Unless he’s just not money driven at all.
Also, he is in a positive SWIVET to marry Kayte. You can see his excitement all over his face. Kind of reminds me when Tom Cruise was dating Katie Holmes…oh wait, I just negated my own logic, didn’t I?
And this is OT but I swear I was shocked when I first heard Kelsey speak in his non-Frasier voice. OMG!!! He sounds so PEDESTRIAN. He really needs to adopt the classy Frasier voice on a full-time basis. ;-D
first time poster!
this is so obviously kelsey grammar i can’t believe nobody has guessed it yet! new career- broadway in La CAGE aux folles. recent breakup, new beard and he’s known to cross dress
Hi Heather! Love, BG
The only 2 that make any sense to me are Hugh Jackman (with the new beard reference referring to facial hair) or Kelsey Grammer, but dude has been married like FOUR times or something…can’t people just commit to a LONG-term beard like JT is doing?
lol. only that business partnerships fail.
Kelsey Grammer.
This totally screams Kelsey Grammer – all the clues seem to fit:
‘Award winning’ – won tons of Emmys for Frasier
Recently split from wife beard – Camille
New beard – his new younger piece
‘Gilded cage’ reference – he’s currently in La Cage aux Folles
(‘new acting gig’ could also be referring to this)
This has to be Kelsey/Camille Grammar. I don’t know how the words fit in but the story is him.
Kelsey Grammar. He was in La Cage Aux Folles which is what The Birdcage was based on.
The definition of “beard” is a person being used to appear as the spouse or girlfriend or boyfriend for a homosexual or lesbian person. I’ll say it again…this is Kelsey Grammar and Camille
Seems kind of funny to call a lesbian’s fake boyfriend a “beard.” There should be a different term, at least a “mustache” or “goatee” for a bit of variation.
How about “a purse”?
They already have a name . . . a walker. At least if you’re in society circles.
Think all clues point to Kelsey Grammar. FTW.
ok, since my first comment wont post….
how about Camille’s husband? I expect she is a pill and living with her, even under contract, would be a chore.
Can you imagine living with her and not being in love with her? Geez, I think Kelsey should get an Oscar for best actor for that task!
AMEN!!!! I have always respected his talent….now more than ever.
this is Kelsey G. Camille and he had a sleazy deal going over there.
My first guess is Kelsey Grammer, but I’m not sure on the clues. He is starring in “Cage Aux Folles” (which means cage of fools), so maybe…?
Good Morning! Long time lurker, first time posting! This just screamed at me Kelsey Grammer. That house reminds me of the house they show in The Housewives of BH. I also think that entire situation played out strange and totally arranged.
Howdy, Pilgrim! Love, BG
Gilded cage of a house also implies wealth. Gold is used for gilding. Thus the wifey-beard’s house is one of great wealth, especially since it also has wings.
Yeah, this is a very clever, well worded piece. Well done!
It seems this could be Kelsey and Camille, but what I don’t understand is that if it was a business relationship, how come Kelsey didn’t insist on a prenup? Not much business sense there.
Great Job,Guys! I had no idea about Kelsey!
So I guess there are 4 gay actors on Fraiser!
David Hyde Pierce
John Mahoney
Dan Butler
and Kelsey
Ha, I didn’t know either! I feel like I’ve been living in a cave! lol
Love the Grammer guesses. I’ve always gotten a gay vibe from him, but I’m no expert. Have a feeling of vindication, though!
Also… I know this might not mean anything
but I just read that she wasn’t pregnant with his kids, they had children via a surrogate mother..
which makes me go Hmmm
Kelsey & Camille
Yes, when you think about the fact Camille had both kids with a serrogate (probably so she would not ruin her figure) then he did not even have to emotionally commit to her while she was carrying his children or have to have realtions with her to concieve. So more fuel to the gay or arranged marriage theory. And on the real housewives show Camille always has her married boy toy around her so that could be her BF waiting in the wings for her and her big fat $50M settlement.
hmmm, not beleiving that Kelsey is gay-not as many hookers as he has had..
Camille was an escort when he was matched up w/her…
not seeing Kelsey as a gay man, he’s a damn womanizer yes, gay–nope..
I don’t believe for a minute Kelsey is gay. I never have, even if Frasier was a really gay-friendly show and he’s been in La Cage…It seems like an obvious guess, but I don’t – I can’t – believe it’s Kelsey.
If you have a lot of gay guy friends like I do then you would understand how the rest of us see this. It is definitely not unusual for a beautiful, well-dressed woman to get hit on by a gay man. Gay men can still appreciate the beauty of a woman and many of my gay friends tell me they sometimes find themselves attracted to women even though they prefer sex with a man. My gay roommate gets obnoxious when he’s drunk and likes to grab boobies.
Speaking of the roomie, he’s out and proud now but he grew up in a conservative mid-west background and dated/slept with LOTS of girls in his teens/early adult years. He said he was in denial of who he was and was trying to f*** himself straight before he decided to stop trying to fight his natural sexual preference. My roommate seems very straight and is a football fanatic. I had no idea he was gay until he told me so.
That’s exactly what I was thinking.
does enjoying your prostate being stroked make you gay???
cause I’m sure Kels will do anything for a thrill, LOL
let me be good
First time poster, long time lurker…
These references all point to Kelsey, which makes me slightly sad considering I have had a minor crush on him …
But crawling with “La Cage” stuff … especially a Broadway reference with a boyfriend “in the wings”.
Hello Mint! Love, BG
Why even marry your beard? I don’t get that at all. Apparently, however, there must be a reason. Please, someone with more knowledge, enlighten me.
Because being married conveys stability and “normalcy”, which is what mainstream Americans like in their celebrities. Also a beard makes a nice deflection against those pesky gay rumors. “He couldn’t possibly be gay! He’s married to so-and-so!” Some people aren’t aware of the beard phenomenon.
thats not just what america “likes”, its what america wants. we make people famous to vicariously live the lives we think they have. most people are straight. voila! its best to put on a show of being straight and family oriented if youre a celebrity.
But that’s the thing Kelsey gets married so many times & cheated on Camille so he’s not really showing any stability. For some reason I never trusted Camille from the moment they got married, she just gave off a gold-digger, skanky vibe to me. IMO, I think he’s a “sucker for love” or a “fool for love”.
I agree with Tru Tru and Lassie. Years ago, a friend and I headed to a restaurant in Malibu for dinner and drinks. She is a beautiful blond and I am a brunette. Who should walk in the door, solo, and come chat her up but Kelsey Grammer! Not gay!
Gay men hit on women too. The first few times I went to gay bars with my roommates and his friends, I would get hit on by random gay guys and it would shock me. My roommate told me not to be surprised, that gay guys appreciate a woman’s beauty too.
True.
I have a number of gay friends, as one said to me…flirting with women in a bar doesnt make me straight, it just makes me less bored.
Yup. it’s also to show off to the other guys
I’m confused. Why are they flirting with women in the first place though? Are they gay or bisexual? I can’t imagine lesbians flirting with men, bisexual women yes, but not lesbian. Unless I’m just not hip. Plus I heard straight men go to gay bars to hit on women because they have a better chance because less competion. I as a straight woman appreciate women’s beauty but I’m not going to flirt with one, just feel intimidated, LOL.
Well apparently I know nothing about gay men……would never have thought that about him at the time. Great actor!! lol
Good enough actor to win awards!
lol
I know…right?!
Tom Cruise
what about mike meyers- Austin powers gold member…and twank is british
OK. I’m on board with the Kelsey Grammer guess. I did think of The Birdcage (la Cage Aux Folles) and Robin Williams who was in the awful movie version. I had forgotten KG was in the stage version recently. Seems to fit.
Sidenote: My mom and I LOVE The Birdcage. I think it’s a fabulous movie! I didn’t realize people thought it was awful…guess I need to see the play.
Though I really think it is Kelsey. Nicole Kidman old beard, Katie Holmes new beard and Tom Cruise.
now it makes sense as to why Kelsey is not asking for a pre-nup with his new beard. I would think that’s part of the agreement for her agreeing to be his beard.
They’re all gay…Kelsey most likely but TC works too
Is Kelsey Grammer really that dumb? Why give away 1/2 of your money to a woman you aren’t sleeping with only in order to do it all over again in a few years. Why not at least get a pre-nup/contract?
Camille certainly enjoyed kissing a married man, Nick Stabile, on a episode of RH of Beverly Hills.
nick and his wife didnt look quite compatible, either.
