According to sources from the New York Post, Kelsey Grammer asked wife Camille Donatacci to accompany him at this year’s Tony Awards – even though he dumped her via telephone a month ago. Donatacci stayed at the London Hotel, and made public appearances with the Frasier star during her stay, but the actor would not let her into his apartment, or discuss any means of reconciliation, said the sources. Donatacci, Grammer’s third wife, filed for divorce in June, citing “irreconcilable differences.” She is seeking custody of their daughter, Mason, 8 and son Jude, 5.

Despite last week’s rumors of a breakup, Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disick of reality TV show fame say they are still together and in love. Las Vegas Weekly even reported that the two celebrated Disick’s birthday in Sin City last weekend. However, the pair’s track record isn’t exactly clean, as they have broken up and gotten back together multiple times throughout their three-year relationship. Kardashian’s family has been vocal against the relationship from the start, and Kourtney’s mother, Kris Jenner, supposedly compared Disick to O.J. Simpson last week. Despite all the drama and rumors, however, the two are – for now – together again.
