Bill Murray

These are photos of Bill Murray supporting Wes Anderson at the Director’s Guild Awards on Saturday. Every time I write about Bill Murray, I get the urge to gush. Bill’s an unabashed speaker of hard Hollywood truths, and he loves a good party. Bill’s enjoyed this awards season immensely, mostly because it involves bars and parties. Everyone’s always impressed with Bill everywhere he goes. TIFF even held a Bill Murray Day last fall.

One person may not be so impressed. French goddess Catherine Deneuve’s in town. Kaiser talked about how Catherine attended the LA Louis Vuitton event on Friday. After that Denueve ended up at the Sunset Tower Hotel bar. Page Six says Bill was there, and he “did his best to flirt” with Catherine, who didn’t seem impressed. He “went over and flirted with her .?.?. She looks amazing. She smoked about 50 times during her dinner, so everyone got to admire her beauty each time she [went] out on the terrace.” There aren’t any further details on whether Murray was able to seal a deal, but it sounds like he struck out.

Since I spend my spare time devouring Murray interviews, this story reminded me of his visit to Howard Stern last year. Stern pressed Bill on why he never remarried after two divorces. Bill said, “I don’t think I’m lonely. It would be nice to go to some of these things and have a date … I don’t have a problem connecting with people. [I’m not] connecting with myself. If I am not really committing myself to that, then it’s better that I don’t have a different person.” He’s a wise man. This is why Bill Murray has had only two divorces. That’s a low number for Hollywood! Look at Gary Oldman and his four ex-wives.

I’d let Bill Murray chat me up, but he had plenty of chat buddies this weekend. Enter January Jones and Bradley Cooper.
