Hoo-ray For Hollywood?

I picked up the National Enquirer issue dated September 4 today at the Jewel. Inside, in the Mike Walker All The Gossip column was an item that Bill Murray needs $240 million to buy the Cubs, so he's pitching the idea to Jim Belushi, Dennis Franz and William Petersen to join in. I'm not sure where Walker got the $240 million figure since that seems low. Unless, Murray already has about $240 million (or knows investors that would have that kind of money) and the $240 he needs would bring his offer to close to $500 million, which would seem to be closer to what the Cubs would be asking for in a sale. For all we know, if this item is to be believed (and surprisingly, Walker is right more often than not... just ask him), maybe Murray tapped someone like Michael Jordan, who in the past has been known to be somewhat of a Cub fan. Anyway, no link, since I couldn't find it on their website. But, if you are interested, you can find it at your checkout stand. Anyone has to be better than the Trib.
