Camille Grammer is back on track!Yes, the Real Housewife of Beverly Hills had her divorce from Kelsey Grammer finalized last Thursday, but this Thursday she'll be guest-starring on the hit CBS sitcom $#*! My Dad Says as, well, a recently divorced reality star named Camille who's going house-hunting with help from two characters on the show.
We just chatted with the reality babe, and here's what she revealed to us exclusively about how she's coping after the end of her 14-year marriage, when Kelsey is getting married again and if she'll be back on Real Housewives after the tumultous first season
What's in store for you in this new part of your life?Everything! It's a new journey. My divorce is finalized…I'm working on my children. I'm really focusing on the kids and what's next in my life, simplifying my life and making sure my kids are happy. They're my No. 1 priority at this point.
How are you planning for the future?
I'm still working through that. It's quite a process…[I'm talking to] friends, business associates, absolutely.

Your character on $#*! My Dad Says is divorced, even though in real life your divorce was not final when you shot this episode. Did you push to speed up the divorce so your character's background would match your background?The divorce wasn't finalized [when we shot this]. It's irrelevant. Absolutely irrelevant. Kelsey was pushing obviously because he wants to get married, and he's getting married, um…soon. In the next couple of weeks.
Do you plan to move to a new house at any point, like your character "Camille" on $#*! My Dad Says?At some point I probably will move. It's just me and my kids, I don't need this much property. It would be nice to downsize, you know, simplify my life a bit. Move on, start something fresh, something new for myself, you know?
Would you stay in Los Angeles?I want to stay in L.A. I've been here for 14 years. I love it here, I have friends here, and my children have grown up here. They're so young, but my daughter has established her friends, and she's very happy in the school she's in, and I don't want to uproot her life. No.
Can you tell us which Housewives are off the show next season?I don't know who is leaving or staying at this point. They keep that separate from us.
How did you feel about the RHOBH experience overall?Obviously I've stated in the press that I was unhappy how it turned out, but I think towards the end…I was happy with the reunion shows. Absolutely. [On a reality show] you get to step back and see yourself in a light that you would never expect. You're just like, "Wow. How'd that come off?" But when…it was so funny, because when we did our eight-hour reunion show, we, all the girls, sat there and said, "Wow, this was cathartic." [Laughs.] Wow, whew, that was a lot of work.
