Keep Calm Bill...
Bill Murray said goodbye to David Letterman last night and before walking out of the Ed Sullivan Theater for the very last time, he shared a bottle of Slovenian vodka. He had a few shots and took a long swig from the bottle, and if you had any doubt that he was actually drinking vodka, all you had to do was watch his appearance on MSNBC's The Last Word with Lawrence O’Donnell.
The funnyman appeared on the show following the Letterman taping and was clearly drunk. He stumbled his way onto the set, fell off his chair and slurred his way through the interview. Murray admitted that after his Letterman boozing, he went out for dinner and had some wine.

Oh my, Hollywood Actress Lying About Her Age!!
There's been a bit of a controversy brewing over Rebel Wilson's true identity and age. Now it's been the confirmed that the Aussie actress is really 35 years old, not 29 as she has claimed.
The truth came to light earlier this week after a former classmate outed the Pitch Perfect star to an Australian tabloid.
Then the Sydney Morning Herald did some digging and discovered that business records filed with the Australian Securities and Investment Commission show that Rebel was in fact born on March 2nd, 1980 -- and that her real name is Melanie Elizabeth Bownds. However, that wasn't much of a scoop, as her name change had already been reported. Rebel told a newspaper last year that her real first name is Rebel, and that Melanie and Elizabeth were middle names she used at school. It's also pretty common for actors to change their names, and to lie about their age.
Rebel responded to the scandal on Monday by tweeting that she's actually a 100-year-old mermaid.

Bet This Doesn't Happen Anymore!
Chris Pratt wasn't always beloved by Hollywood.
In an interview with GQ magazine, the newly minted star recalls how he was treated like a second-class citizen when his wife Anna Fariswas more successful. “I’ve had those moments where I was like the guy holding the purse at events and people just looked right through me. And, you know, actors came up and blatantly hit on my wife in front of me and didn't even look at me. I’m like 'What the [hell], dude?'"
Chris says he hopes those actors "auditioned" for his blockbuster hit Guardians of the Galaxy.
