Owen Wilson Update

Owen Wilson
Drugs and depression
The New York Post is reporting that Owen Wilson's suicide attempt (yes, it was a suicide attempt, Police have confirmed that they responded to a suicide callout) may have been due to his ongoing battle with heroin and cocaine addiction.


According to the report, Owen had been struggling with his addictions and depression in the months prior to his suicide attempt. It is thought that his addictions were also the reason behind his split with Kate Hudson earlier this year.

Friends are placing the blame for Owen's drug use on his new friend, British actor, Steve Coogan. Courtney Love, an ex of Coogan's, said :

"I went through it with Steve."

" 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 adore the Wilson brothers. I hope, from the bottom of my heart, that Owen stays the hell away from that guy and surrounds himself with good people who care about him for who he is and not what they can get from him.”

Wow. I'm trying to wrap my head around the idea of Courtney Love thinking someone takes too many drugs!!!

Steve Coogan however, has hit back saying that the reports are completely false and that he's never supplied Owen Wilson with drugs.

Wilson has since pulled out of the movie Tropic Thunder in which he was supposed to star with Ben Stiller.


I'm a massive Owen Wilson fan. I hope he gets the help that he needs and is doing better very soon.

So often it's the people that seem happy-go-lucky that end up being the most screwed up underneath! Poor Owen. Maybe this will be his turning point.

I don't know what's wrong with Owen's nose, apart from it being big and oddly shaped - which is why I couldn't help laughing (even though it was wrong to do so) at this report in the news:

Heroin-addict elephant to rejoin herd after rehab

A once drug-addled elephant fed heroin-laced bananas by illegal traders will soon return to the wild after being weaned off his addiction through methadone and round-the-clock care.


It's a bit of a coincidence. LOL (very insensitively).

Tracy - I hope he gets good help too.

Louie - you're exactly right.

Bryn - He broke his nose quite a few times growing up. I kind of like it. It gives his face character.

Michaelie - Michaelie, Michaelie, Michaelie. Insensitive.......yes. Funny.....hell yes!!! That gave me a good giggle. Poor little elephant though. I love elephants
