Bill Murray’s Lawyer Responds To Doobie Brothers’ Attorney By Offering ‘Ugly’ Golf Shirts Instead Of Money For Using Their Song In Ad

Middle-earth has never looked so good. Amazon has given a sneak peek at its highly anticipated, highly expensive “Lord of the Rings” prequel series “The Rings of Power” — and its very attractive cast look more at home in Hollywood than they do in Hobbiton. After debuting a teaser trailer last month, the studio has now shared snaps of the show’s sexy stars with Vanity Fair, including an alluring portrait of Welsh beauty Morfydd Clark, 32.

Anna Delvey, who swindled New York’s elite out of hundreds of thousands of dollars  – if only the show had faith in its own premise. Now streaming on Netflix, “Inventing Anna” is based on a viral 2018 New York Magazine article about Delvey (nee Sorokin), 31 — Russian-born and raised in Germany — who defrauded banks, hotels and acquaintances while posing as a trust-fund heiress in New York between 2013-2017. She was convicted for multiple accounts of grand larceny, indicted in 2017 and incarcerated from 2019-2021. Helmed by Shonda Rhimes and starring Julia Garner (“Ozark”) — a skilled actress who seems to have been given bad directing to hide behind a distracting marble-mouthed accent to play Delvey — “Inventing Anna” is a bloated affair, with episodes regularly clocking in at over an hour, which feels punishing.

Mehmet Oz, the celebrity heart surgeon who recently ended his daytime TV “Dr. Oz Show” to run for U.S. Senate in Pennsylvania, got a star Friday on the Hollywood Walk of Fame — just as he was being attacked 2,000 miles away in a rival’s TV ad saying he’s too “Hollywood.”

For “The Price Is Right” contestant Catherine Graham of Marshfield, Massachusetts, the price was right but the prize was not.

Bill Murray’s attorney has responded to a cease-and-desist letter sent to his client by a legal rep for the Doobie Brothers last week. Although, disappointingly, his response is far less amusing than the original correspondence, despite his best attempts.

The Doobie Brothers have sent Bill Murray a cease-and-desist letter ordering him to stop using their music to advertise golf shirts being sold by his William Murray Golf company. Actually, it’s their attorney Peter Paterno who wrote the letter, and it’s he who should get the credit here, because it’s quite some letter.“We’re writing on behalf of our clients, the Doobie Brothers”, Paterno states at the start of said letter – which was obtained by The Hollywood Reporter – before explaining that the correspondence relates specifically to their song ‘Listen To The Music’.“It’s a fine song”, he goes on.

The Doobie Brothers are coming after Bill Murray.

Men are incorrigible Lothario scoundrels, motherhood is full of loneliness and self-doubt, and complicated father/daughter relationships are constantly tested in Sofia Coppola’s “On The Rocks,” her latest dramedy, an effervescent, charming, and soulful affair. It’s a mature, economical effort that harkens back to some of the wistful, warm, airy feelings of “Lost In Translation,” but revisits some of the surrogate father/daughter, mentor/protégé ideas of that film with more grown-up sensibilities and concerns.

2.5 stars (out of 4)There never was a sequel to Lost in Translation. Everyone who saw writer-director Sofia Coppola’s moody and exquisite 2003 arthouse hit must give their own interpretation as to what Bill Murray whispered into the ear of Scarlett Johansson as the two parted ways in Tokyo.

In the pantheon of perfect Bill Murray roles — “Caddyshack,” “Groundhog Day,” “Lost In Translation” — his smooth-talking character in the new comedy “On The Rocks” ranks as one of the best.He plays Felix, a suave New York renaissance man and art dealer in Sofia Coppola’s wonderful movie — the pair’s first narrative feature collaboration since 2003’s “Lost In Translation” — which premiered Wednesday night in the New York Film Festival.Murray, bless him, brought me back to the New York we all miss like hell; the city of late-night spontaneity we’re told we might not get back.All of us, for example, have experienced some version of this scene: In the middle of the film, a cop pulls over Felix’s red sports car, which he’s been speeding like a

It's become unfashionable to express fondness for vintage Woody Allen films, but think back to how pleasurable they could be before all the off-camera baggage muddied those memories and you have some idea of the warmly satisfying experience of On the Rocks. Distinguished from those predecessors by its wry female point of view, Sofia Coppola's smart, breezy comedy about a marriage that may be in trouble and a meddling father who steps in to save or destroy it stars Bill Murray in peerless deadpan form, bouncing off a superb foil in Rashida Jones.

Owen Gleiberman Chief Film CriticIf you go back and watch Sofia Coppola’s “Lost in Translation” (2003), you’ll see that it’s lost none of its shimmer — that airily crafted blend of mood and moment, location and dislocation, all wrapped around the delicate tale of two souls who didn’t know they were lost until they found each other in the floating limbo of the Park Hyatt Tokyo. “On the Rocks,” Coppola’s seventh film as a writer-director, marks her creative reunion with Bill Murray, the costar of “Lost in Translation” (which Murray regards as his favorite of his own performances).
