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.

How does she smoke so much and look so good? Most smokers I know over the age of 50 look like an old baseball glove.
Because Catherine Deneuve is an immortal space alien.
LOL!!! I have to agree
I think some lucky people hit the genetic jackpot, and she’s one.
I know!
I think it’s careful make up and a bit of fillers are showing up in her cheeks. Very judiciously applied so she’s not a caricature of herself. I would imagine she gets lasers a few times per year as well to peel off the smoke film. Ew. Not enough Chanel No 5 to cover up that cigarette smell!
I can’t decide if Kiddo is going to fly into the sun in excitement or deadlift this place into rubble.
Abot! You’ve returned!
I fell into a Serial k-hole for a while there and lost sense of time and space, balance, verbal skills. But then the Magic Mike XXL trailer came out and I decided I had to keep on living.
And here I thought it was the Magical Bill Murray.
I’d love to see Bill pop lock to ‘Pony.’
I would love them as a couple, or better yet, Wes Anderson should do a movie centering around them!
Also, January Jones outfit apparently caused a big stir at the DGA’s, cause it was cut down to her navel.
This is Bill Murray (aka EVERYTHING) we are talking about. He closed that deal down and sealed it with embossed burgundy wax*

What a gorgeous woman she is.
Her daughter chiara wouln’t look better at this age.
Omg I would love to chat with Bill Murray! Dying to see St. Vincet!! Is it good?
St. Vincent has promise in its first act, drifts into sentimentality in the second, and goes full Lifetime in its third act. I was upset.
