When your accountant prepares your business tax, you may feel a bit like Bill Murray's character in Groundhog Day, only this time forced to relive the indignities of 2008 again and again. Yes, last year was a bummer for many American entrepreneurs. But like Murray's cynical weatherman, you have an opportunity to improve upon the past.
Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow this morning. Does that mean another six weeks of horrific stock-market losses? The worst January for stocks in history is over. But so far, February is looking no different, with the Dow and S&P 500 each falling about 1% early Monday morning before recovering as the trading session wore on.
• Jennifer Aniston, sharing a "mellow dinner with the girls" at her home away from home, the Tower Bar inside the Sunset Tower Hotel. The Marley & Me star may not have been with beau John Mayer, but her night did turn into a giggle-fest because of one man: Bill Murray. The comedian "kept coming over and sitting with her," an observer tells us. "They were both laughing and playing off each other a lot."
"I'm having to pay for it for a really long time," she says of her meltdown
Moviegoers in search of distraction -- and cute pets -- put Beverly Hills Chihuahua ahead of the pack
Columbia Pictures is reuniting the '80s cast for a third Ghostbusters movie
The actor's wife, who accused Murray of abusing her, gets two houses and primary custody of their kids
She cites the actor's alleged addictions, adultery and abuse
"We're friends and we might be doing a project together."
Sounds like something got lost in translation when Bill Murray was approached by police in Stockholm while driving a golf cart.

After agreeing to dismantle its nukes, Pyongyang now says the U.S. must take it off a list of state sponsors of terror
Nobody worry about me, says Bill Murray. He was just dropping off people after a party when he was stopped in downtown Stockholm driving a golf cart.
In what sounds like a scene out of his old movie Caddyshack, Bill Murray was pulled over by police in Sweden while cruising through downtown Stockholm in a golf cart, then refused to take breathalyzer test after police said they smelled alcohol, authorities said Wednesday.
Bill Murray could face a drunken driving charge after cruising through downtown Stockholm in a golf cart and refusing to take a breath test, citing U.S. law.
Remember the movie Groundhog Day where the lead, played by Bill Murray, woke up and relived the same day over and over? That's how Denny Hamlin must be feeling these days. Not so much because he has repeatedly been beaten by a Hendrick Motorsports driver, but because he can't seem to escape the pit stop or mechanical gremlins that have kept the driver of the FedEx Chevrolet out of winner's circle this year despite having a competitive car week in and week out.
AVONDALE, La.(AP) Bill Murray ate a char-broiled Louisiana oyster as he walked toward the 18th green, then hurled the shell into a water hazard, shouting, ``Now go and grow others!''
My Friday 7:10 a.m. tee time -- first group, first round -- was fast approaching, and there was no daylight in the sky, and now in the clubhouse dining room Fuzzy Zoeller was asking if he could join me for breakfast. Zoeller, winner of the 1979 Masters and the '84 U.S. Open, a man who makes everything look easy, asking me, your garden-variety duffer with a golfing nervous disorder, if he could sit down with me.
Tom Watson and Bill Murray each broke through at the Outback Steakhouse Pro-Am at the TPC Tampa Bay, but it was a case of something old and something new. Murray, playing with his regular straight man, Scott Simpson, tried the latter. He charged $50 a pop to professional autograph collectors seeking his signature on Caddyshack glossies and posters. At the awards ceremony he turned over his wad -- $900 -- to Jan Horn, the founder of the Clearwater charity Blooming Place for Kids. It was the first time Murray and Simpson had won a pro-am together after dozens of tries. The 57-year-old Watson, invigorated by his fine play at Pebble Beach the week before (19th overall, second in the pro-am), looked like his former self, carving shots in a Tampa wind that at times was arctic to get his first win in Florida in 94 pro starts in the state. Jay Haas, who is 0 for 105 in Florida, finished second. No word on whether Haas will sell autographs the next time he plays there.... Watson will skip this year's British Open
1. Mullets Charley Hoffman's birdie-eagle-birdie finish to win the Hope was pretty sporty, but his mangy hairdo was clearly the star of the show. Somewhere Billy Ray Cyrus is smiling.

The bebop cadences of actor Bill Murray and filmmaker Jim Jarmusch are in such key-of-cool sync in the deadpan-tender who's-your-daddy drama "Broken Flowers," it's a wonder that the two hipster silverheads haven't jammed together more often.
Even in the sweltering heat, devotees lined up outside the unadorned New York City store for the infamous biannual Manolo Blahnik sale.
In what could seem a sequel to his role in ''Lost in Translation,'' Bill Murray searches among his long-lost lovers for the son he never knew in cult director Jim Jarmusch's ''Broken Flowers,'' screened in competition Tuesday at the Cannes Film Festival.
Few could have predicted that Bill Murray, Jim Carrey or Adam Sandler would ever be taken seriously as actors, so hear me out when I say that Will Ferrell, over the next decade, could make a similar transformation.
"The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou," the fourth film by idiosyncratic filmmaker Wes Anderson, is the director's most ambitious film to date.
Now would be a good time to stop and take a look at the state of comedy in film.
You have to excuse movie fans if they confuse "Lost in Translation" for a glorified commercial for Tokyo's Park Hyatt Hotel.
In the movie Groundhog Day, Bill Murray played Phil Connors, a TV weatherman stuck in a time loop, repeating the same day over and over again. Many economists probably feel a little bit like grizzled old Phil right now when they hunker down to forecast U.S. government stats on the labor market.
The first one was nosed out by a schizophrenic mathematician. The second fell to a pair of 1920s schemers.
The beers are cold. The chips are out. The pizza's been ordered.
Sofia Coppola is the first American woman ever nominated for a best director Academy Award. The daughter of famed director Francis Ford Coppola won a Golden Globe Sunday for best original screenplay for her film "Lost in Translation," which is also a best picture nominee.
"The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King" already has earned gold -- the Golden Globe for best drama. Now the film reaches for the ultimate Hollywood accolade: Oscar.
The Academy Award nominations announced Tuesday morning gave a lift to 10 films that could use the boost -- and one that probably doesn't need it.
Hollywood's A-list turned out Sunday for the Golden Globes -- the ceremony often seen as a precursor to Oscar success -- and "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King" walked off with four awards.
