Gary Busey Finds Jesus, Neither Survive

7:25AM Defamer Hollywood | We don’t believe for a second that Gary Busey’s appearance on the recurring Funny or Die show Prayer Hour yields a fraction of the authenticity of his ferocious Oscar-night showstopping.

‘The Hills’ Finally Gets An On-Screen Upgrade to Union Talent

6:20AM Defamer Hollywood | Bringing together the eye-catching combination of both recognisable, camera-friendly talent and TV-quality production values so sorely lacking in the curbside productions of most strike-related videos, Judd Apatow, Mike White and friends have put together this quick clip in which we’re not only treated to another unpleasant vision of a scribeless Hollywood, but reminded of how talented the The Hills‘ nonunion writing staff is at crafting compelling, painfully lifelike dialogue.

Funny Or Die Taking No Chances On Upcoming Bill Murray Clip Going Viral

Now, however, we live in far more complicated times, when newly retained PR firms dare not leave anything to chance, as evidenced by this e-mail invitation enlisting the help of the “internet press” to turn Bill Murray into Funny or Die’s next drunken, swearing baby: FUNNY OR DIE INVITES YOU TO PARTICIPATE IN A SPECIAL INTERNET PRESS PREVIEW OF “FCU: FACT CHECKERS UNIT” AN UPCOMING FUNNYORDIE.COM EXCLUSIVE WEB SHORT STARRING BILL MURRAY, THURSDAY, SEPT. 6 More »
