Bill Murray

WE DIDN’T WANT TO KNOW THE TRUTH ABOUT BILL MURRAY

Looks like most of us chose to ignore the hints about the dark side of Bill Murray – after all, we loved him on SNL– not to mention Ghostbusters and Groundhog Day (above.) His two wives tried to tell us about his bad behavior and we didn’t pay attention. He cheated on his first wife (they had 2 kids) and married his mistress Jennifer. Four more kids later Jennifer claimed he was abusive, addicted to weed and alcohol, and told her she was “lucky he didn’t kill her.“ She got a restraining order and a divorce. Recently Lucy Liu said he made “inexcusable” comments on the Charlie’s Angels set (DYING to know what they were) and Richard Dreyfuss called him a “drunken bully.” We feel bad that the movie Being Mortal, that Aziz Ansari wrote and was directing, has been closed down because of Bill’s “inappropriate behavior.” This film is a big deal for Aziz – it’s his first. Hopefully, this situation can be fixed.

Billy Idol arrived at The Jimmy Kimmel Show (looking sensational, right?) and he found Bill Murray and Jack Black in the green room also guesting on the show. We would have LOVED to witness these three diverse celebrities interacting backstage. Were they in awe of each other? Was one of them a big diva? Did egos clash? Apparently the two Bills got along famously – Billy posted the bottom photo.

Bill Murray looks delighted with his own sartorial splendor at the NY premier of “St Vincent.” He’s getting great reviews for the comedy and we are eager to see it. This morning Bill was on the Today show talking about his experience at George Clooney’s wedding. He said that George and his bride Amal are a good match and that SHE is surprisingly funny. He cracked “Amal is the funniest Lebanese since Danny Thomas!”

SUDDENLY BILL MURRAY IS “MR NICE GUY”

Bill Murray has often been dismissed as a grouchy old guy – and indeed he has his moments. But he was a real hero last weekend in Las Vegas for a friend in need. Back in the 1970’s Bill and chef Kerry Simon worked at a Little Caesar’s pizza parlor in Chicago. They both found success – Bill as a comic on Saturday Night Live and Kerry worked his way up to head chef at The Plaza hotel In the 90’s. That’s when we met him – he was handsome and a major celebrity in New York. We’re sorry to hear that Kerry is now battling an incurable condition called Multiple Systems Atrophy (MSA) and he held a big fund-raiser to Fight MSA in Las Vegas. His old friend Bill Murray showed up and couldn’t do enough – he entertained and socialized and posed for photos with everyone. Review Journal reporter Norm Clarke couldn’t stop raving about him. Bill helped Kerry raise $550,000 for MSA.
