1. Yikes, I really like him too.

[Connonym]

2. any rumor on what he OD'd on?

[Mutineer]

16. One is saying he slit his wrists AND o'ded on pills

that doesn't sound good.

[GreenPartyVoter]

19. Famous people are just as frail and human as the rest of us :^( As a kid I

bought into the hype that they have better lives but no way I would believe that now.

[SPKrazy]

3. Oh man...

I hope he's okay too

I like he and his bro

damn

[Shine]

4. Oh, that sucks!!!

I wonder if it has anything to do with his breakup with Kate Hudson?? Isn't she seeing some new guy now? :shrug:

Sad, in any case..... I like him, too. I'll hold good thoughts for him.

:hi:

[Maddy McCall]

14. Don't know.

Some people in the comments section are saying that she just moved in with a new boyfriend. I hope that's not the case.

I was just looking at Owen's imdb page, and it says that he has a Australian cattle dog named Garcia. Silly as it sounds, I'm hoping that someone in the family is taking care of Garcia tonight.

:(

:hi:

[Shakespeare]

5. Aw, I hope he's OK.

He almost ran over me a couple of weeks ago (watch for us pedestrians, Owen), but his movie characters always crack me up. Seems like a cool guy.

[DS1]

6. Not HANSEL?!?!

NOOOOO!

[Maddy McCall]

12. Yes, Hansel.

I found him strangely hot in that role.

[sasquatch]

7. Take it easy guy

I wonder how his brother Luke is handling it?

[YellowRubberDuckie]

8. Now they're saying it was a suicide attempt...

At least it says that on Perez Hilton...
Duckie

[Ediacara]

9. I was just about to post that

Perez's sources: The Enquirer and Star, so take it with a grain of salt...

Supposedly, slit wrists and pills :-(

[Maddy McCall]

10. From Star Magazine: slit wrist and od'd on pills.

WORLD EXCLUSIVE: Owen Wilson Attempted Suicide!

Actor Owen Wilson was hospitalized after attempting suicide, sources tell the NATIONAL ENQUIRER and Star magazine exclusively.

Wilson was transported to St. John’s hospital in Santa Monica , Calif. on Sunday, August 26, by ambulance. Sources tell the ENQUIRER and Star that he sliced his left wrist and took an indeterminate amount of pills.

He was discovered by a family member who summoned help.

Police and an ambulance responded to a 911 call from Owen’s house around noon on Sunday.

His wrist was sutured and bandaged at the hospital.

The ENQUIRER and Star broke the story of Owen’s hospitalization earlier Sunday and revealed that he was being transferred from St. John’s after being stabilized. The publications learned that he was going to be detoxed.

Owen was brought in to St. John’s in very serious condition. Police were on the scene immediately as was a criminal defense attorney, believed to be working for Wilson. Some of Owen’s family was with him.

Wilson was stabilized at St. John’s.

More on this story as it develops…

[WindRavenX]

11. oh no...he's one of my most fav actors

:cry:

[Frank Cannon]

20. He's a great writer, too

"Bottle Rocket", "Rushmore", and "The Royal Tenenbaums" are three movies that were written or cowritten by him. He's got a really terrific feel for the mundane-yet-absurd.

Hope he's all right.

[WindRavenX]

21. Royal Tenenbaums is my all time favorite movie.

It's pretty much a reflection of my own family--right down to Royal Tenenbaum himself. He's so much like my dad it's scary.

[Omphaloskepsis]

13. I wish my suicide attempt back in 88' had gotten some media attention.

Attention from a mental health professional would have been nice too. Unfortunately, I got neither.

[Maddy McCall]

15. Sorry about that, omph.

:hug:

I hope things are better these days.

[skygazer]

17. We're not "the beautiful people"

We get to "pull ourselves up by our bootstraps." :eyes:

Not that I wish anything bad toward the guy. But I know what you mean.

[VLC]

23. I just noticed today a sign for a 24-hour suicide hotline posted on a bridge in my town

Those are always available.

[MilesColtrane]

18. Must have been all of the scenery he's chewed on. n/t

[HeeBGBz]

22. Damn, my friend and I were just talking about him and his brother

Which one we liked best in movies.

[Lindsey]

26. Wow, I'm really shocked..I love his movies. There's just something about

him that really gets me into it. I don't think I've seen him in anything I haven't like him in. He was great as Kevin, the ex-fiance in Meet the Parents. Man, I didn't know crap was going on with him. I did notice that Kate Hudson was with another guy and I thought she and Wilson had reconciled so I was surprised that they'd broken up again. Poor guy...hope he's okay.....

[VLC]

24. It's on Fixed News now...

but they can't even get his name right, so why would we believe the rest of the article? Plus, they basically give his address! That can't be right.

"The entertainment news Web site TMZ.com late Sunday reported that it had confirmed Owens had been taken to the hospital, but could not confirm his injuries or condition. The Web site published a statement attributed to the Santa Monica Police:"

[CaliforniaPeggy]

25. How awful to hear, my dear Maddy...

I've always loved everything I ever saw him in...

:cry:

[cwydro]

27. tmz is reporting it too...

weird. Seems like he has it all.

[VLC]

28. Well, to be fair...

he hasn't proposed to me yet.

[Critters2]

30. Good point

but that means you haven't said no yet. So he still had reason to hope.

[VLC]

31. Good point!

[Critters2]

33. Welcome to DU!

:hi:

[cwydro]

34. well, maybe he will when he gets better, lol

welcome to DU!:hi:

[Quantess]

29. That's terrible. I hope he never tries that again.

On www.x17online.com I think it's weird that they posted photos of Britney Spears parents babysitting, over the Owen Wilson story.
As if that were somehow more interesting? Oh, well.

[Skittles]

36. there's no priority

they just post the stories as they come in....as far as the Mr. Owens story goes, it seems the details are much too sketchy at this point to draw any conclusions

[Critters2]

32. How sad.

I liked him in everything I've seen him in. I prefer him paired with Jackie Chan over Chris Tucker. And he was great as Hansel!

Sounds like he needs Lounge Vibes!!

[SeattleGirl]

35. You're right, mycritters2

Definitely needs lounge vibes.

[Beausoir]

37. That's very sad. Hope he has a healthy recovery.

[LynneSin]

38. ABC is reporting it too

Reports: Actor Owen Wilson Hospitalized
Actor Hospitalized After Possible Suicide Attempt, According to Various Reports
Aug. 27, 2007 —


Actor Owen Wilson was transported by paramedics early Sunday afternoon to a California hospital after a possible suicide attempt, according to reports in Star magazine and the National Enquirer.

The Santa Monica Police Department issued a statement Sunday saying they made a joint response with fire department paramedics to a medical aid call at Wilson's Santa Monica address.

"A person was transported to a local hospital where they are being treated," the release stated. "Due to HIPAA medical privacy laws, no further information is being released."

But Star magazine and the National Enquirer jointly reported last night that Wilson, the star of popular comedies including "Wedding Crashers" and "You, Me and Dupree" had slit his left wrist and taken unidentified pills in an attempt to kill himself.
