Lead Singer Of Sugar Ray Confirms Owen Wilson's Suicide Attempt
As we vowed this morning, we are committed to bringing you every minor and major development in the ongoing Owen Wilson existential/medical crisis. (Did that actually happen? It still hasn't quite sunk in that one of the world's most powerful poonanny-magnets just inexplicably attempted to off himself.) While we await the inevitable Access Hollywood report alerting the world that, "Owen is now resting more comfortably than he was before, because our Tony Potts smuggled him in some bourbon," we bring you this Extra update, in which much of the same information, plus a tiny bit of new, is rearranged into an Extra! Suicide! Exclusive!
DETAILS SURROUNDING OWEN WILSON 'S RUMORED SUICIDE ATTEMPT
(Los Angeles - August 27, 2007) - "Extra" has learned from a source close to Owen Wilson that the actor did indeed attempt suicide over the weekend.
The source revealed only to "Extra" that Wilson has been depressed for the last few months, but insisted it is not over a broken relationship. The source also told "Extra" that Wilson's brother, Luke, found him and that Wilson's family and friends are shocked.
The confirmation of Wilson's suicide attempt by another, slightly more reputable tabloid news outlet, while elucidating, doesn't make the events any less sad. (For sticklers, Variety and the LAT repeated, but refused to verify, the details about the actor having "cut his left wrist and taken an undetermined amount of pills.") Still, we're relieved to learn Wilson's blues were not "broken relationship"-related—a fact that will almost certainly come as a relief to Kate Hudson, who's had to withstand the withering stares of fellow Malibu supermarket patrons, tsk-tsking her open-displays of Dax-groping affection while her troubled ex lay in a Cedars-Sinai recovery unit.
