Grammer gears up for custody battle, new show

Kelsey Grammer better know how to take the good with the bad. On the one hand, he's a newly wed set to premiere a new drama on Starz this fall. On the other, however, he'll soon be facing an "unpleasant" custody battle with his ex-wife, Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Camille Donatacci.

Grammer is seeking primary physical custody of their children, daughter Mason, 9, and son Jude, 6. "It's going to be a long, drawn-out thing," he told Life & Style magazine at Sunday night's Tony Awards. "We'll be tortured and it will be unpleasant I'm sure, but not on my side."

The "we" he's referring to is his new wife, former flight attendant Katye Walsh, whom Grammer wed in February, just two weeks after his divorce from Donatacci was finalized.

As far as his career is concerned, Grammer -- whose last TV show was 2009's failed ABC comedy Hank -- will return to the small screen as the mayor of Chicago in Boss. In the Starz drama, Grammer plays a politician with a secret: he has a degenerative brain disease that's destroying his memory.
