Looking very studly in a red zip-up hoodie overtop a white v-neck t-shirt and a pair of distressed jeans, Chad Michael Murray was spotted at LAX International Airport yesterday (August 27).
Having just celebrated his 27th birthday this past Sunday, August 24th, the “Freaky Friday” hottie appeared to be in high spirits as he escorted his 20-year-old fiancé Kenzie Dalton through the terminal.
Bill Murray really has guts. While a lot of celebrities will do some crazy things for attention, Murray isn’t generally one of them. Rarely do you see him falling out of Bungalow 8 with his panties around his ankles. Instead Murray goes for the more planned kind of attention – though albeit a bit more dangerous. He jumped out of an airplane at 13,500 feet this weekend for the Chicago Air and Water Show.
Bill Murray landed in Chicago on Friday like he never had before — by jumping from an airplane 13,500 feet up. The 57-year-old actor took several deep breaths before stepping out the open doors of a C-31 Fokker and dropping at about 120 mph to the city’s lakefront with members of the Army Golden Knights Parachute Team.
An exuberant Murray, whose jump kicked off the 50th Chicago Air and Water Show, landed safely on a beach. The actor pretended for a moment to stagger as if dizzy, then smiled broadly, waved to the crowd and shook hands with some of the Golden Knights. Friends asked Murray to participate in the show, which features demonstrations and performances in the air and on Lake Michigan, to support the Illinois United Service Organizations… “It seemed like a good idea at a time,” Murray said. “I’ve had second thoughts, believe me. I’ve been really nervous. All the jokes (from friends) involve death.”
At more than 2 miles above Chicago, the air temperature in the unpressurized plane dropped to 30 degrees. The roar of the plane’s engines and winds coming through the open doors was deafening. Up in the plane, Murray, a native of Wilmette, Ill., looked out the window and took short calming breaths from a yellow oxygen tank. A buzzer went off in the plane around 3 p.m. It was Murray’s time to jump. He and Jones, connected by ropes and harnesses, ambled down the aisle. After a countdown they stepped off, instantly disappearing into the skies below.
Once he landed, Murray said a Golden Knight jumper had tried to ease his nerves by telling him he would want to repeat the jump. “But right now,” Murray said, “I really feel like having a drink.”

Bill Murray beats his wife
Bill Murray’s wife of 10+ years, Jennifer, filed for divorce earlier this month in a Charleston County, South Carolina court. In the court filing, Murray’s wife accuses the actor of adultery, drug abuse, abandonment, physical abuse, and I’m pretty sure that’s all she could check. The Charleston Post and Courier (South Carolina’s #1 Source for HOT Hollywood gossip) says:
According to the complaint, Jennifer Murray moved into a Sullivan’s Island home in 2006 with the couple’s four children due to her husband’s “adultery, addiction to marijuana and alcohol, abusive behavior, physical abuse, sexual addictions and frequent abandonment.”
It was at the Sullivan’s Island home, according to the complaint, that Murray allegedly abused his wife in November 2007. The six-page court filing says Murray “hit his wife in the face and then told her she was ‘lucky he didn’t kill her.’ ”

I’d be surprised that a Saturday Night Live alum was into drugs, alcohol, and abusive behavior if the precedent hadn’t been set by Jim Belushi, Chris Farley, and Phil Hartman. With those three as role models, I’m surprised Bill Murray’s still breathing. But I guess if there’s anyone that shouldn’t be afraid of kicking the bucket, it’s him. It’s been said the Dalai Lama himself has assured Bill that on his deathbed, he’ll receive “total consciousness.” So he’s got that goin’ for him, which is nice.

Bill Murray may be a legend of comedy - but after hearing his wife's reasons for filing for divorce, we're starting to think that being married to him is no joke!
The Charlston Post and Courier reports that the actor is being sued for divorce by Jennifer Butler Murray, his wife of ten years. You can expect this divorce to get nasty in a hurry, too - she's alleging that life with Murray meant a decade of drugs, cheating, and physical abuse!
In the court filing, Jennifer claims that she moved into a Sullivan's Island beach house in 2006 with their four children as a result of what she describes as Bill's "adultery, addiction to marijuana and alcohol, abusive behavior, physical abuse, sexual addictions and frequent abandonment."
She then goes on to describe an incident from November of 2007 where Murray "hit his wife in the face and then told her she was 'lucky he didn't kill her'". Furthermore, according to Jennifer's complaint, this wasn't the only time Murray physically abused her, either!
As a result, Jennifer is also seeking a restraining order barring Bill from the Sullivan's Island home. She's also looking to have their pre-nup - which specifies that if either Bill or Jennifer were to file for divorce, both parties would keep all of their separate property - reviewed to see if it's valid and enforceable. Of course, even if the agreement is deemed to be valid, Jennifer still stands to collect $7 million from Murray.
Murray's lawyer declined to comment on the story.
We'll be keeping track of this sad story for as long as it takes - after all, domestic violence is no laughing matter!
How sad...

Jennifer Butler Murray, Bill Murray's wife, has decided to end their almost 11 year marriage, citing claims of physical abuse, adultery, and drug addiction on the part of her husband. Jennifer has filed for divorce on May 12 in Charleston, SC, where the couple owns a home.
In the documents, the former costume designer said that as a result of Bill's adultery, addiction to marijuana and alcohol, abusive behavior, physical abuse, sexual addictions and frequent abandonment," she and her four sons with Bill moved out their shared home in 2006. More than once, she alleges, was she "hit in the face."
Additionally, Bill's soon-to-be ex-wife has requested a restraining order against her husband and is making sure the couple's $7 million pre-nuptial agreement is solid. If it is, then she can expect a handsome pay-out.
But they look so happy in this photo.
Bill Murray and his wife of 10+ years, Jennifer Butler Murray, are divorcing and it looks like it is going to get nasty, folks.
Jennifer is alleging that she was physically abused on more than one occasion and also accuses the funnyman of “adultery, addiction to marijuana and alcohol, abusive behavior, physical abuse, sexual addictions and frequent abandonment.”
She is requesting a restraining order against Murray, barring him from her Sullivan’s Island home (which she moved into in 2006 due to the issues she is citing). She states in court documents that her husband punched her in the face and told her she was ‘lucky he didn’t kill her.’
They also have a prenup..
It stipulates that if either spouse files for divorce, both parties retain all of their separate property, waive any right to alimony or support and maintain responsibilities for their children.If the marriage is dissolved and the 23-page premarital agreement is made a part of the order, Bill Murray agrees to pay Jennifer Murray $7 million, according to a copy of the agreement accompanying the complaint.
The couple have 4 children, all under the age of 18.
Once upon a time, a wacky new talk show called Late Night With David Letterman premiered on NBC. And on that very first episode in 1982 was an up-and-coming comic actor by the name of Bill Murray.
Chad Michael Murray is making the short trip from his wardrobe trailer to the set of his show One Tree Hill, flashing his pearly whites and abs to the onlooking paparazzi and fans.
If he plays his cards right, he might be able to snag a Smuckers jelly and Quaker's rice cake endorsement deal out of this.

Remember a few weeks ago, when Bill Murray was given a DUI citation for driving a golf cart drunk? Well he’s finally spoken out and explained himself, and it turns out it’s all because he’s a good samaritan bus driver type who just can’t let friends walk home or call a cab – so logically, why NOT borrow your hotel’s “for display only” golf cart and drive all over Stockholm?
“Bill Murray says he was just dropping people after a party when he was stopped in downtown Stockholm driving a golf cart. The police ‘asked me to come over and they assumed that I was drunk and I explained to them that I was a golfer,’ Murray told reporters Monday at the Venice Film Festival, where he appeared before the premiere of his new film The Darjeeling Limited, which also stars Adrien Brody, Jason Schwartzman and Owen Wilson.
The star of 1980’s Caddyshack said he was in Stockholm last month to play in a pro-am golf tournament, and hitched a ride to a post-event party in a golf cart. When no one wanted to drive home, he volunteered. ‘I ended up stopping and dropping people off on the way like a bus. I had about six people in the thing and I dropped them off one at a time.’ He said police called him over as he was dropping the last couple off at a 7-Eleven, adding ‘I didn’t know they had 7-Elevens in Stockholm.’ Swedish police took a blood test after the actor refused a breath test. He could face drunken driving charges.
It’s not illegal to drive a golf cart through downtown Stockholm, just unsual [sic].”
Apparently he’d had one or two drinks – though driving with much of anything in your system is illegal in Sweden. They have a zero-tolerance approach, which appears to apply to golf carts as well. Murray’s blood alcohol results from the blood test haven’t been released yet, so we’ll see if he ends up getting in trouble or not. I don’t know how I know this, but I’m pretty sure that gopher from “Caddyshack” was behind this somehow.

When vacationing overseas, be careful that you don’t have too much to drink, and end up driving a golf cart through a major city. Bill Murray did just this, and now he’s facing some serious charges.
This past Sunday, Murray was pulled over in Stockholm, Sweden in a golf cart, and authorities smelled alcohol on his breath. But when it came time for a breathalyzer test, the comedian referred to US laws giving him the right to refuse.
Looks like Bill Murray's really about to be in the sh*t - the AP is reporting that the Rushmore actor got booked for driving under the influence! But Murray wasn't pushing just any ordinary whip - as would befit a comedian of Bill's stature, he was pulled over at three in the morning driving a golf cart through the streets of Stockholm! Those Caddyshack skills don't die easy, do they?
Man, we can't wait to hear Bill's explanation for his drunken late-night golf-cart caper - we're just hoping it doesn't get Lost in Translation!
