It was around 3:30 a.m. on Halloween when Bill Murray surfaced at Dave Summers's loft party in East Williamsburg. The 58-year-old Garfield star—who had never met the 29-year-old Summers—had been party-hopping with indie darlings MGMT after their show at the Music Hall of Williamsburg, and wound up staying at the loft until one sanctimonious hipster finally told him, "I think you're making bad life choices." Murray's wife of 11 years divorced him last May, and Page Six Magazine has strung together a number of Bill Murray sightings at random parties and lame bars in NYC, where he sometimes talks to young women!
They're calling it a mid-life crisis, but let's just call it Being Bill Murray; he's rich, famous, single, perennially hip—and how cool is it that he's wandering among the little people instead of staying sequestered behind the velvet rope like his peers? Sure, maybe he is, as Page Six puts it, a little "stuck in his own version of Groundhog Day meets Lost in Translation," but who could blame him? As Phil Connors' mused in the former film, "I was in the Virgin Islands once. Met a girl. We ate lobster and drank pina-coladas. At sunset we made love like Sea Otters. That was a pretty good day. Why couldn't I get that day over and over and over?" You keep trying Bill Murray—and if you want to crash our office party, we won't judge you.

LEAVE BILL MURRAY ALONE!!!
seriously...i have a bro crush on him.
The description "sanctimonious hipster" is redundant.
Attention Bill Murray: I will totally hang with you. Let's have drinks and play bocce ball at Union Hall.
Bill Murray does not walk into a hipster party. Hipsters find themselves at a Bill Murray party.
dudes amazing
"i think you're making bad life choices."
in my pants.
It was fascinating to read the ex-wife's allegations when she was getting ready to drag his name through the mud in order to ensure a big payday for herself. The drugs and physical abuse were the doozies. Isn't there an enterprising gossip-rag biographer willing to hang all of the dirty laundry out in a book? Or is that too difficult now that the ex has been paid off (and probably legally gagged for good)?
@TSOL: so true.
If Bill Murray ever walks into the Whiskey Ward, I will pee my pants. That's Peter Venkman for the love of God.
The real story is how hot the girls in the picture with him were. I'd like to make "bad life choices" with them.
Bill, you are totally welcome to one of my cookouts any time. I'm in downtown Brooklyn. If you want to come out for ribs and burgers, ask the -ist folks for my contact details.
a cool dude... he's the anti-Olsentwin
Garfield star ? come on. Give the guy some props.
i dont get it...what's so wrong about this? old people can have fun too
I can comp him on the next ForgottenTour

a great description from the post article:
"...he's more like a ghost in the night, who shows up out of nowhere, engages in utterly random conversations and then exits gracefully—leaving witnesses to wonder what the hell just happened."
Bill Murray rocks!
Bill Murray can do whatever the F he wants!
@grifforama: totally agreed.
But maybe we need to mention Garfield just to make this whole thing seem more pathetic.
It's not, by the way. Bill's awesome.
...and wound up staying at the loft until one sanctimonious hipster "finally told him", "I think you're making bad life choices."
how does a shithead hipster get away telling Murray about his poor life choices without an ass beating or at the very least get thrown out of the party?
and the guy who writes this story throws his pathetic two cents by adding:
"finally told him"
at Murray's age you'd be lucky if you had at least one friend the fraction of cool that Murray is.
Bill Murray rocks and will always rock!
"There's an urban legend that's gone round until no one is sure who it happened to, or if it happened at all. It was late one night, a few years ago, when a young man was walking through Union Square Park. He suddenly felt someone behind him, their hands over his eyes. When he turned in surprise, there was Bill Murray, his creased face leaning in close. Bill whispered, "No one is ever going to believe you," and then just walked away."
I for one welcome Bill to come to any party he wants to.
I think some people get a rush from being mean to famous people. It's a way for insecure people to feel better about themselves.
I love Bill Murray, and wish he would come hang out at our place...
seriously, whatever keeps his head out of the oven. he is awesome and i would really like him to keep existing.
Young women hanging out with older, rich men. In other news, winter is right around the corner. If I was him I would do the same so all I can say is GO BILL !!!
Did you ever see a monk get wildly fucked by some teenage girls?
Mister Murray, HUH?! MISTER Murray. Since when does a GIANT like Mister Murray have to answer to a 2-bit blog writer like you?
@madzack: I opened that up and laughed my ass off. Rate looks really happy in that picture.
can't believe no one's mentioned the razor's edge

bill is still searching apparently!
haha...shoutout to Bill.
The only person cooler you could have crashing your party would be Dave Chapelle. Bill rocks.
I don't understand the negative tone of the article. The guy just went through a divorce and probably wants to enjoy his life a little with new people. If he were being bothersome that's one thing, but from all accounts everyone seems to be enjoying his company (with the one exception of that guy who told him he was making bad choices).
I say don't worry about it so much.

whoa, all the edge you need here
Bill Murray makes all Gothamist-ites agree. He truly is a God among men.
The best party you've ever been to is the one Bill Murray crashes.
The hipster translates to: please, sir, leave the house party, it is the only venue where I am the one who gets the attention and is even considered successful by a few of these women, on account of my having sort of been friends with one of the guys who plays in Beirut."
This is the stupidest article ever. Why assume anything about him when you really don't know the man? The gossip rags only report tidbits of info that do not reflect who he is as a person. I've met Bill Murray, had a lengthy conversation with him. He's very down-to-earth, unpretentious, and a huge flirt. He's just a regular guy - directors who want him in their movies have to leave a message for him on an answering machine which he hardly ever checks. He's missed out on roles because of that, but really doesn't care. He's not out to prove anything, he's just being himself. Sheesh, the crap that gets written!
