Kelsey Grammer is a magnificently dislikeable human being. Away from his fine role of Frasier, he supports some real crackpot ideas. He thought George Dubya was a cool guy for a kick-off. Of course, this means he’s nothing like his most famous televisual role.

And it seems that us plebians aren’t the only people who wish he was more like Frasier.

On Piers Morgan’s chatshow (another dolt with a face like a doleful yam), he asked Grammer whether he thought his ex-wife, Camille, married him because he was a TV icon. Kelsey replied: “no, I think she married me because I was Frasier.” He really doesn’t know what to do with those toss salad and scrambled eggs.

And so, what does Grammer think of his ex-wife? Is he nice and magnanimous?

Grammer also told the CNN host that his “parting gift” to his third wife was her role in the reality series “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.”

“Whether or not it worked well for her doesn’t matter. It was my way of saying, ‘Look, you always wanted to be famous. Here you go.’ “

And now, after three tumultuous marriages, The Man We Wish Was Frasier says he has at last found true love with his fourth wife, Kayte, who he met in an airport.

“There was a warmth, a glow about her that I was drawn to. And I thought, ‘Boy, I hope she’s on my flight.’ “

Presumably, she doesn’t mind that he’s a Republican. Yep. An actor in Hollywood who is openly right wing.

“I’m a bit of a rebel. I don’t tend to warm too well to people that tell me how I’m supposed to think. So, my life in Hollywood — I’m afraid I was destined to be a Republican.”

And those Tea Bagger nutjobs?

“I’m sympathetic to some of the principles, but I’m not sure that the tea party has behavioural problems, other than the ones that can be identified by people who are inimical to them.”

WAIT!

Hahaha! It doesn’t matter what he says because he sounds like Sideshow Bob! HAHAHAHA!

For anyone who hasn’t seen the original 1980 version of Fame, it’s not exactly what you’d expect. Because you were expecting a grinning mob of leotard whores prancing around, squealing “feel the music!” to one another, whilst occasionally breaking rank to march silently towards a mirror, caressing their bodies, growling like tigers, weren’t you? Weren’t you? Go on, admit it. You were. And, for the most part, you’d be right.

But, the original film was so much more than that. It was bleak. It was brilliant. And the new one, apparently, is a big sack of turds. So says the Boston Herald and LA Times anyway, and they’ve SEEN it.

In the first outing, a cross section of New York “talent” is thrown together in a strict school for special people, who like singing, dancing and acting. The kids sometimes take time to play a cello in the canteen, or dash into the streets because a man in a taxi left his stereo on, and it’s playing loud music.

But, apart from that, it’s no walk in the park for these students – some of whom have been punched in the face by the ugly fist, yet still see their career in the limelight. By which we may or may not be referring to Bruno and Ralph. One student almost gets raped by a horny photographer, one is battling with gayness, one considers suicide, there’s a ballerina abortion, there are drugs flying around. Leroy destroys things. It’s heavy going.

Of the latest version, which looks a bit like High School Musical, but with slightly more pubes, James Verniere of the Boston Herald says:

“… for the most part, the conflicts are canned, the dance scenes lifted from “Flashdance” and “All That Jazz,” the dialogue banal and the chemistry lacking. Believe in yourself, hold on to your dreams, we are told. I get better advice in fortune cookies.”

He even hilariously awards the movie about school a C+.

It’s gets an equally frosty reception from the LA Times:

“Fame, it turns out, is not going to live forever… gone is almost every shred of the gutsy, gritty script that Christopher Gore wrote.”

This time around, there’s a talented songstress who needs to show her dad that she can sing, a rapper of some sort, and a sexy dancer called Kherington Payne, who has previously starred in a TV show about dancing. Plus Frasier teaches everyone music.

Yep, sounds pretty rubbish.

The only time Kelsey Grammer had previously been associated with a sense of impending doom was when people heard he was going to be an X-Man.

But that changed in Hawaii this weekend, when Frasier star Kelsey Grammer suffered a heart attack. Don’t panic, though – it was the just the normal kind of mild heart attack that you’d expect from someone with a history of cocaine and alcohol addiction, and Kelsey Grammer is currently recovering in an undisclosed hospital.

Reports that David Hyde Pierce has also had a mild heart attack that was more pernickity and gay-seeming, just to make Kelsey Grammer’s mild heart attack look more normal are rubbish. Seriously, we made them up just now.

The human body is a wonderously complex machine, but it has its limits. Fire one out of a cannon into a wall or try and ram an electric whisk up one’s bottom and you’ll end up with a criminal record and a gigantic dry cleaning bill. There are some things that the human body just doesn’t want to do.

Take Kelsey Grammer, for example – recently he signed up to star in a Tim Allen-directed comedy about crazy mental patients, and now he’s had a heart attack. Coincidence? Years of abnormally heavy wear and tear? Or was it Kelsey Grammer’s own body protesting about star in a crap-sounding Tim Allen movie? Nobody knows for sure, but it was probably the last one.

Anyway, the point is that Kelsey Grammer has suffered a mild heart attack during a visit to his holiday home in Hawaii. Apparently, though, it’s nothing enormously serious and he’ll be out of hospital by the end of the week. BBC News reports:

Frasier star Kelsey Grammer is recovering after having a mild heart attack, his spokesman has said. The 53-year-old experienced chest pains on Saturday morning while paddle-boarding in Hawaii where the actor has a second home. Spokesman Stan Rosenfield said the star was “resting comfortably” at an undisclosed hospital. The actor was with his wife off the Kona coast of Hawaii’s Big Island, when he experienced symptoms.

As dreadful as it must be for Kelsey Grammer and his family at the moment, a heart attack isn’t really that much of a surprise given some of the stuff that Grammer’s been through.

His father was shot dead by a madman when he was a child, his sister was raped and murdered, he’s had difficulties with drugs and alcohol, one of his ex-wives miscarried during a suicide attempt, he’s been accused of statuatory rape, his best friend is a 2,000 year old ghost called Alex, who teaches him about right and wrong and, perhaps most chillingly of all, he was in X-Men 3. It’s not a life many would envy.

Anyway, get well soon Kelsey Grammer. And hurry back to work - X-Men 4 won’t be the same without you. On second thoughts, you should probably just concentrate on your recovery for the next decade or so.
