Owen Wilson
Gossip (Page 2)

Courtney Love doesn't really believe in personal responsibility.

Sure, Owen Wilson might have to shoulder some blame for his troubled life. But the crazy rocker also points a big finger at British actor Steve Coogan.

"I went through it with Steve," said Love, who dated Coogan until an acrimonious split in 2006. She railed against him to Us Weekly.

"I was just out of rehab, and he was right there with the drugs," she says. "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."

While this may sound like typical insane raving from Love, former girlfriend Kate Hudson also reportedly would "forbid [Wilson] from letting Coogan into his house. She knew he was bad," says another source.

"The drugs and partying were a huge factor in the breakup," says a pal of Hudson, who has a young son, Ryder, with ex-husband Chris Robinson.

"As much as she liked him, she didn't want to be around that."

Who would? Well, aside from Kate Moss.

Reportedly, those close to Owen were worried so much about his dependence on hard drugs that Woody Harrelson staged an informal intervention at his Hawaii home in May.

But Wilson continued to withdraw and succumb to depression following his June split from Hudson, who is now dating Punk'd star Dax Shepard (for some reason).

"Seeing her happy with someone else made him happy that she'd found that," says a Wilson family friend, "but made him hate himself so much more that he could never do it."

We have confirmed that recently celebrity gossip reports are valid:

Santa Monica police acknowledged that officers responded to an attempted suicide at the home of Owen Wilson according to the police log.

The department's "Call for Service Report" posted online shows that the report came in at 12:08 p.m. Sunday from Wilson's 23rd Street address; officers cleared the case five hours later.

The call was logged as "Attempt Suicide" â€" the first official confirmation of the reason for the call.

No other details were provided.

Wilson, 38, was recovering at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. He issued a statement pleading for privacy to allow him to "receive care and heal in private during this difficult time."

No one can claim to know what drove Owen Wilson to a rumored suicide attempt over the weekend, but the New York Post is reporting that a recent fight with a friend didn't help matters.

While the identity of the friend isn't known right now, the story goes like this:

The typically affable actor supposedly took pills and slashed his wrists Sunday morning just after noon, and just after a "vicious quarrel with an unidentified friend," the newspaper said.

He was discovered at home by a "stunned family member."

Wilson was yesterday visited by brothers Andrew and Luke, as well as Samuel L. Jackson.

We hope Owen and Amy Winehouse are both feeling better about themselves this morning.

Here are two quick updates to a pair of sad stories we reported on this morning:

Owen Wilson has issued the following statement, in regard to his hospitalization and rumored suicide attempt:

"I respectfully ask that the media allow me to receive care and heal in private during this difficult time."

Meanwhile, Linda Hogan (pictured below with son Nick Hogan, daughter Brooke Hogan and husband Hulk Hogan) has released the following, focusing on Nick's car accident from last night:

"My son Nick and a friend were involved in a car accident last night. Nick suffered minor injuries and has been treated and released from the hospital. At this time, his friend, John Graziano remains hospitalized. Nick is currently at the hospital with John and his family.

His sole concern is for the well being of his friend. On behalf of my family, we ask that your thoughts and prayers be with John and his loved ones."

The family of Owen Wilson was spotted at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center on Sunday night amid reports the actor was hospitalized.

Santa Monica police issued a statement saying officers responded to a "medical assistance call" at a house on Wilson's street shortly after noon Sunday. Now, celebrity gossip source The National Enquirer is reporting that this was a suicide attempt.

"Owen Wilson has now been transferred from St. John's to another Los Angeles area hospital. His brothers Andrew and Luke are with him," Editor-in-Chief David Perel said to Perez Hilton.

"Andrew found him after the suicide attempt and called an ambulance. Both of Owen's wrists were slashed superficially and Owen had taken an overdose of pills.

Owen was found with a nearly empty bottle of pills next to him. He was at his house in Santa Monica."

We hope Wilson and Hulk Hogan's son, Nick Bollea, recover quickly.

We know many men out there want to see more of Kate Moss topless.

No? Is it actually nude Tricia Helfer you're after?

Well, sorry, fellas, this post is all for the ladies. The fairer gender has a difficult decision to make. Do they vote for Matthew McConaughey and a body that is more chiseled than the Statue of David?

Or do they feast their eyes instead on the doughy goofiness of Owen Wilson?

Write in and let us know who you prefer. Meanwhile, guys can at least relax because they needn't make such rash choices. They can just enjoy topless Kim Kardashian in peace.

Kate Hudson, put away that vodka and those diet pills.

Your relationship with Owen Wilson appears to be back on.

If it ever ended, that is.

The supposedly broken up couple made a rare public appearance in Australia Sunday to attend a private screening of We Are Marshall, starring Matthew McConaughy, Hudson's co-star in the upcoming movie, Fool's Gold.

Wilson, a friend of McConaughey, was the surprise guest at the screening for the thirty cast and crew members of Fool's Gold. Oddly, there was no Lance Armstrong sighting. We hope those kids are doing okay.

As for Owen and Kate, though:

"They were cozy â€" they chose seats together â€" and seemed relaxed although slightly nervous, probably because they were in public together," an onlooker said. "Once the lights dimmed, they chilled out a bit more."

And they didn't even need the help of Dr. Sandeep Kapoor to do so. That's the sign of a healthy relationship.

Kate Hudson is following the lead of Shanna Moakler. Sort of.

The latter threw a divorce party when she and Travis Barker split up - and over the weekend, Hudson got jiggy with it at her home in L.A.'s Pacific Palisades in an attempt to move on from Owen Wilson.

"They have definitely cooled off," a source close to the actress tells Us magazine of Hudson and Wilson's summer fling. "She adores him and wishes it had worked out. But it didn't."

Guests such as Justin Timberlake, Ryan Phillippe and Eva Mendes showed up to party their way into 2007 with the now single actress.

Hudson, meanwhile, is back to dating musicians now that her divorce from Chris Robinson is finalized. She brought Irish singer Damien Rice to a December 9 birthday party for director Brett Ratner.

A Hudson pal says: "She is exploring everything while trying to get over Owen."

Uh-oh. Look out now, Kate. A text from Kevin Federline is no doubt on the way.

We hope Kate Hudson has enjoyed her brief time as an officially single woman.

Because it may already be coming to an end.

The actress' rumored boyfriend, Owen Wilson, was spotted ring shopping with his mother at the Harry Winston store at the Highland Park Mall in Dallas on Friday.

"They were looking at a huge, pear-shaped, flawless diamond engagement ring," a witness told Page Six.

Then again, it may have actually been Ellen DeGeneres and not Wilson. It's hard to tell.

As most fans know by now, Owen and Hudson fell in love filming You, Me and Dupree last year; Hudson, 27, soon separated from her hubby of nearly six years, rocker Chris Robinson, 39.

A rep for Wilson confirmed the shopping trip to the New York Post, but insisted: "Owen's mother was looking for jewelry for herself."

Sure, we'll believe that as soon as we believe Michael Richards is not a raving, racist lunatic.

Meanwhile, Hudson, who has a son Ryder, 2, with Robinson, is currently in Australia filming Fool's Gold with Matthew McConaughey.

When Howard Stern (the radio guy, not Howard K. Stern of Anna Nicole Smith fame) said on his show that talk show host Ellen DeGeneres and overrated actor Owen Wilson look very much alike, we had to put that to the test. Henceforth, he have compiled a little comparison for you here at T.H. Gossip.

Okay, so this is not exactly a pair of dead ringers along the lines of Abbie Cornish and Reese Witherspoon. Or, for that matter, Tom Cruise and Kim Jong Il. But in the Celebrity Look-Alike business, you can't force it. Not every day hands you a gem. You take what you can get.
