Random Couple Alert: Owen Wilson and Jessica Simpson

Don't worry, Lance Armstrong and Ashley Olsen, you're still the most random, unsightly new couple out there. Maybe of all-time.

But Star Magazine is reporting that a new, unexpected pair of celebrities has been hanging out a lot recently: Owen Wilson and Jessica Simpson. We didn't see this one coming.

The two were seen having dinner at the Huntley Hotel in Santa Monica this past weekend. Following the meal - about which a witness said "[Owen] couldn't keep his hands off her" - Simpson went back to Owen's Malibu home.

Did Wilson see Jessica Simpson nude at that point? We can't say for sure. But the pairing does make sense on some levels:

The actor recently tried to commit suicide, so he doesn't want any kind of heavy relationship right now. And you don't get any lighter than Ms. Chicken of the Sea.

From Jessica's point of view, meanwhile, she needs a fling to help her get over John Mayer and Minka Kelly dating. She just better not hurt Owen in the process.

Owen Wilson Goes Home

As his former friend, Steve Coogan, defends himself against accusations of over-partying, Owen Wilson has returned home.

The troubled actor will be watched around the clock.

"Owen is in bad mental shape but said he is thankful to be alive," says a source close to the actor, who had returned to his Santa Monica home on Saturday. "He knows he came close to ending his life, and he is happy that he was saved from himself. He is basically at home with people watching him 24/7."

Wilson's rep declined to comment to People magazine.

The actor was hospitalized August 26 after what a police log called an attempt suicide. He spent the next several days at Los Angeles' Cedars-Sinai Medical Center with constant visits from brothers Andrew and Luke Wilson, his parents and such friends as Wes Anderson and Woody Harrelson.

Courtney Love: I Warned Owen Wilson About Steve Coogan, Drugs

Us Weekly 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."

Owen Wilson Update: Pushed to the Edge by Fight?

Troubled Actor 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.

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.

"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.

Photo Finish: Topless Matthew McConaughey vs. Topless Owen Wilson

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?

Kate Hudson and Owen Wilson: Back On Down Under?

Annoying Couple Together AgainKate 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 Parties Blues of Owen Wilson Break-Up Away

Done, ThankfullyKate 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.
