Bill Murray called in to the Howard Stern Show this morning to promote the DVD and Blu-ray release of Get Low. Stern (in our opinion, the best interviewer around) and Murray talked for over an hour about why Murray fired his agent, how Andie MacDowell's hair annoyed him on the set of Groundhog Day, how his experience at the Second City and Saturday Night Live was the best acting education he ever had, and the status of Ghostbusters 3.

Sometimes dogs are man’s best friend. And sometimes they just whine and pee all over your leg. Metaphorically speaking, the WCKG radio personality known as Rover was more of the latter as of late. more ›

Mancow sidekick Cowboy Ray Hoffstatter died last night from injuries sustained in a hit-and-run accident on South Archer in November. The driver, described as a woman who appeared to be drag racing a black Honda Civic, still hasn't been found. more ›
