Kelsey Grammer Weds Kayte Walsh

Kelsey Grammer Weds Kayte Walsh

Kelsey Grammer's bride (his fourth) wore white -- on the Great White Way!

The actor's rep tells UsMagazine.com that Grammer, 56, wed girlfriend Kayte Walsh Friday at NYC's Longacre Theater. Grammer and British flight attendant Walsh, 29, exchanged vows on the stage -- covered with white candles -- where the actor just wrapped his Tony-nominated run in the Broadway musical La Cage Aux Folles. First-time bride Walsh wore a long, satin and chiffon gown by Peter Langer for Mark Ingram, according to Access Hollywood. Who married the couple? A drag queen! The New York Post reports that actor Terry Lavell, who performed with Grammer in La Cage, has a license to officiate weddings. Among also those joining the pair on stage were Grammer's grown daughter, actress Spencer Grammer, who read a poem, Kayte's brother, who sang a song, and Grammer's 5-year-old son Jude (whose mom is Kelsey's ex-wife Camille Grammer). Kelsey and Camille's daughter Mason, 8, reportedly didn't attend the bash.

After taking their bridal vows and bows, the newly hitched couple, shielded by the day's rain with umbrellas, boarded a white Mercedes. They will greet their guests later on Friday evening at a luxe reception held at the Plaza Hotel's famed Grand Ballroom.
On the menu, obtained by TMZ: Ginger prawns, filet mignon au poivre, slow-roasted turkey breast with chorizo stuffing, and braised short-ribs.

And when it's time for dessert, the bride and groom will feast on a custom-made concoction by famed wedding cake designer Sylvia Weinstock.
"They're going to have a delicious carrot cake," Weinstock told UsMagazine.com. "It's about 55 inches tall. A grand cake, decorated with sugar flowers, in shades of white and cream."

Weinstock added that the cake is filled with cream cheese, caramel, and coconut. "It's going to be a fantastic showpiece," said Weinstock, who met with Walsh, Grammer and Walsh's mother to design the cake.
"She wants everything to be perfect and look gorgeous and wonderful," she said of Walsh. "She's thrilled...They're a great couple and I see them having a great life together."

Just two weeks ago, Grammer finalized his divorce from third wife Camille after pushing to quickly expedite the split in order to marry Kayte.

The disintegration of Kelsey and Camille's 13-year marriage played out on the first season of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Camille, 42, nearly quit the Bravo show mid-season because of the marital strife, she told Us.
Indeed, on the season finale, the former Playboy model wept to a friend about discovering her husband's other woman while visiting him in NYC Malibu, Calif.

The Frasier star first filed for divorce in July -- and stepped out with Walsh, whom he met in NYC while performing La Cage, soon thereafter. (Walsh sadly suffered a miscarriage in September, a rep confirmed to Us.)
Grammer's rep confirmed their engagement to Us on Dec. 6, noting the duo had "been engaged for a while."

"I'm doing great," Grammer gushed of his newest love on Live with Regis and Kelly on Jan. 27. "This year's journey is about enhancing love in my life, and Kayte is responsible for a great deal of that."

Secret Negotiations Reveal Why Mel Gibson's Ex Turned Down $16 Million

Oksana Grigorieva wanted $20 million from Mel Gibson in exchange for keeping her secretly recorded -- and terrifying -- audio tapes of the actor's infamous, bigoted rant private. Though her side of the story is that she wasn't asking for the money as part of a hush deal, but rather making good on what she, as mother of Gibson's child, is owed.

An article in today's Los Angeles Times exposes previously unknown communications and new details about the secret legal negotiations that led to one of the nastiest court battles in Hollywood history. Gibson and Grigorieva continue to spar over custody of their baby daughter, Lucia, and attorneys for both have been urged by a judge to avoid the media since the exes' dirty laundry -- including those terrible tapes -- leaked onto Radar Online, TMZ and other outlets on a continuous loop.

And now, the origin story:

According to the Times,, which reviewed texts, emails and documents pertaining to the case, it all began a year ago -- literally, it was in February of 2010 -- when Grigorieva sought a lawyer after Gibson told her she needed representation as he was preparing to add their baby, Lucia, to his estate plan.

Grigorieva -- a Russian singer whom Gibson began dating while still married to ex-wife Robyn -- was "not entitled to any of the actor's fortune under the terms of a 2009 cohabitation agreement that said she would get only a year's free rent in a Sherman Oaks home Gibson owned and a Dodge Charger if they split," the Times reports.

So the singer -- armed with the tapes and photos -- assembled a legal team that met with his lawyers to hash out a settlement. She initially asked for $20 million but he offered $18 million. They eventually agreed on a $16 million deal in May. The deal included joint child custody, $11 million toward Lucia, and, for Grigorieva, more than $5 million and, just to sweeten the deal, a Steinway piano from Gibson's Malibu home.

Grigorieva later reneged, claiming she was coerced into signing the agreement. The case is still at family court.

Meanwhile, amid the back-and-forth, Gibson and Grigorieva had kept in touch with a faint glimmer of reconciliation.

"You don't call. You don't accept my invitation to come. You hand tapes around & jeopardize us all," he texted Grigorieva on the day his team legal team was offering her an $18 million settlement.

Her reply: "I wouldn't have played ur messages if u were keeping ur word."

While Grigorieva was traveling in Russia last April, he emailed to tell her he had given their daughter, Lucia, a glow-in-the-dark rosary. "I have said prayers for you too," he wrote.

So, kinda like a lot of confused/confusing texts and emails exes send after breakups, only much, much more ill-advised.

As of right now, the deal remains unsettled (in more ways than one), and allegations of extortion on Grigorieva's part persist. Her lawyers insist she really just loved Gibson and that they are just doing what lawyers do: negotiate for money.

Spider-Man Musical Given Critical Mauling

Troubled Broadway musical Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark has been slated by critics in the first major press reviews a month ahead of opening.

Spider-Man Musical Given Critical Mauling

"Spider-Man is... the most expensive musical ever to hit Broadway," wrote Ben Brantley in the New York Times. "It may also rank among the worst."

The Washington Post branded the show a "stinker", while the Hollywood Reporter called it a "web-slinging folly".
The show, currently in preview, will have its official opening on 15 March.

Directed by Julie Taymor and featuring music by Bono and The Edge of U2, the musical has been plagued with technical problems and injuries to its cast.

The most serious came on 20 December when cast member Christopher Tierney fell 30 feet during the performance, suffering a skull fracture and cracked vertebrae.

In the New York Times, Brantley admitted he was breaking a traditional embargo but said he had decided to see the show around the time it was supposed to have opened prior to the most recent postponement.

"From what I saw on Saturday night, Spider-Man is so grievously broken in every respect that it is beyond repair," he wrote.His sentiments were echoed by the Washington Post's Peter Marks, who called it "a shrill, insipid mess" with a "convoluted" story.The score, he continued, was "devoid of personality" in a show whose "optimal audience might be non-English-speaking".

The Hollywood Reporter's David Rooney called it "an ungainly mess of a show that smacks of out-of-control auteurial arrogance".

"This pile-on by the critics is a huge disappointment," said Spider-Man's spokesman Rick Miramontez, adding that "changes are still being made" to the $65 million (£40.4 million) production.

"Any review that runs before the show is frozen is totally invalid," he continued.Despite the barrage of negative publicity, the show is selling out at New York's 1,928-seat Foxwoods Theatre.

Taymor's previous shows include the musical adaptation of Disney film The Lion King. Her film version of Shakespeare's The Tempest opens in the UK next month.
