Camille Grammer

, 42, added more fuel to her already public divorce battle Thursday, suggesting that estranged hub

Kelsey Gramme

r, 55, enjoys wearing frilly underthings.

Asked by Sirius XM's schlock jock Howard Stern if it's true the La Cage Aux Folles star takes his, um, costumes home, Camille said, "I'm not saying it . . . I'm not saying it."

Pressed by Stern enforcer Robin Quivers, she added, "I'm not discussing this now. . . . I'm gonna be smacked with a lawsuit."

In a less raunchy chat also Thursday on CBS's The Early Show, Camille said Kelsey had been so callous, he broke up their 13-year marriage by phone. "It's like high school," she said. "He said, 'I've been thinking about it, and I don't want to be married anymore.' "

Kelsey recently announced he's engaged to 29-year-old British flight attendant Kayte Walsh. His divorce could cost him upward of $50 mil.

Isn't Holly simply bitter that at 32, she's far too old for the juvenile Hugh? "I'm not jealous that he'd marry someone else," she tells Life & Style. "I just don't want it to be a girl who's using him to start her career."

Jake Gyllenhaal has dumped an unsuspecting Taylor Swift like three minutes after they started dating, "multiple pals" in Swift's camp tell Us Weekly. The singer is "really upset and hurt," they say.
