Camille And Kelsey GrammerAt Bridgehampton’s popular watering hole Bobby Van’s, folks are still in disbelief at the breakup of Kelsey Grammer and Camille Donatacci’s marriage after two children, 13 years of marriage and the building of their Hamptons dream house. The “Frazier” star and his former Playboy model were regulars at Bobby Van’s and were often seen there dining with Rudy & Judith Giuliani and mega-builder Joe Farrell and his wife Kristen. Word is Camille had agreed to star in the upcoming reality show, “Real Housewives of Beverley Hills” and Kelsey currently starring on Broadway in “La Cage aux Folles” was having none of that. The pair filed for divorce citing the usual “irreconcilable differences”. Despite the fact that Camille is reportedly seeking full custody of the kids, Kelsey is asking friends and fans to be kind to her.

Patrick Askin One Man Show
Marty RichardsNew York actor Patrick Askin is raising eyebrows – and support all over The Hamptons - for his latest theatrical venture Posing an autobiographical one-man show which he recently performed before a sold-out house at The Wild Project theater on the Lower East Side.
The charming and attractive Mr. Askin appears as an art class model, posing au naturel for most of the performance (naturally) while recounting his life experiences, from his childhood days of advising his older sister on her prom attire, to his mistreatment by the NYPD for the "crime" of crying on his Chelsea rooftop during a period of depression.
This 75-minute tour de force takes the audience on an emotional roller coaster ride from comic to tragic and back again, with the emphasis on the comic. Mr. Askin's humor is of the self-deprecating variety, never mean-spirited or bitter, even when recounting career setbacks or relationships that ended badly.
Askin is hoping to take Posing to an off-Broadway theater for a limited run and is seeking investors has caught the interest of reps from Tony award winning producer Martin Richards’ and Bay Street Theater. He can currently be seen in the Casper Andreas/Jesse Archer film Violet Tendencies

This is one of the don’t miss parties of summer.
