PalacePrincess Posted August 28, 2007 Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 so, this may not be a suicide attempt at all. apparently people who might try to kill themselves are easier and cheaper to insure for working on motion pictures than drug addicts are (a la lindsay lohan). so... publicist spins a drug overdose into a suicide attempt and owen wilson's future career is less worse for the wear. hollyweird is a strange place.in any case, i am glad he's still alive & hope he's better soon.

Kanada Kev Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 Hope he can get back on track. http://www.nypost.com/seven/08292007/news/nationalnews/owens_coke_and_heroin_breakdow.htm?page=0OWEN'S 'COKE AND HEROIN' BREAKDOWNACTOR DROPS OUT OF MOVIE: REPORTSBy MARIANNE GARVEYAugust 29, 2007 -- Funnyman actor Owen Wilson is reportedly dropping out of an upcoming ensemble comedy "Tropic Thunder."Film industry trade papers reported today that Wilson will not appear in the Dreamworks movie, already six weeks into production in Hawaii, Daily Variety and The Hollywood Reporter said.Citing sources they didn't identify, the decision was characterized as a mutual agreement between director Ben Stiller and the 38-year-old actor, who was taken to the hospital Sunday after police responded to the report of a suicide attempt at his Santa Monica home.The Hollywood Reporter said Wilson had a minor part in the movie, which stars Jack Black and Robert Downey Jr. and revolves around a group of actors who find themselves in the middle of a war.Wilson's part was to be filmed in just a week, the trade paper said.Wilson was hooked on heroin and cocaine, struggling with depression and hanging out with the wrong crowd in the months before his attempted suicide, according to a bombshell new report.Wilson's drug use was so frequent, it was even the cause of his Memorial Day breakup with Kate Hudson.And his friends are placing the blame squarely on Wilson's newfound best buddy, British actor Steve Coogan, with whom he starred in several films, according to exclusive interviews in US Weekly magazine."I went through it with Steve," Coogan's former girlfriend, rocker Courtney Love, told US."I was just out of rehab, and he was right there with the drugs. I tried to warn Owen. I tried to warn his friends. I hope from the bottom of my heart that Owen stays the hell away from that guy."Wilson's addiction was so severe, his pal Woody Harrelson tried to stage an intervention at his home in Maui."Owen went to Maui, Hawaii, to kick his habit," a longtime Wilson pal told the mag. "He was like a baby on that couch."The friend said that heroin was the first thing that came to mind when Wilson and Hudson split and he suddenly "disappeared off the face of the earth.""I thought, briefly, he might be back on heroin, but we all really felt he'd kicked that ages ago," his friend said.The Santa Monica Police Department logged Sunday's distress call as a report of "attempted suicide," during which Wilson "cut his wrists with a knife," said a Cedars Sinai hospital employee.Another cause of his depression was his very public split with Hudson, sources say. The two hooked up, and Hudson left her husband after they promoted their hit film "You, Me and Dupree" last year.But it all became too much for the actress when Wilson's struggles came to light.She even banned Coogan from Wilson's house while they were dating. "She knew he was bad," said a source.US said Coogan didn't respond to repeated calls for comment.A family friend said that Wilson was dealing with too much at once and couldn't handle it."It didn't work with Kate because he just couldn't be dependable, and he hated himself for it," said the friend.Hudson appears to have moved on - kissing and cuddling in public recently with "Punk'd" star Dax Shepard - yet another reason Wilson may have gone off the deep end."Seeing her happy with someone else partly made him happy that she'd found that," a friend of Wilson's told the mag. "But made him hate himself so much more that he could never do it."But it seems she still cares for her ex - she was spotted Sunday looking somber on the set of her new movie "Bachelor No. 2," filming in Boston.After Owen was found by younger brother Luke on Sunday bloodied and disoriented from pills, he was taken to St. John's Hospital in Santa Monica, where he was detoxed and had his wrist sutured.He was transferred Monday to Cedars Sinai in Los Angeles, where he remains under the close watch of doctors.

jayr Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 (edited) Well the fact that Courtney Love is mentioned in the above article disturbs me to no end. Does she ever hang out with people who AREN'T raging herion addicts? Or is it her presence in general that forces those around her to seek escape....I do hope Owen recovers, he's a funny guy and I usually enjoy movies he's in.
