This is just incredibly shocking.

Owen Wilson’s emergency hospitalization on Sunday was the result of a suicide attempt, The National Enquirer and Star magazine are exclusively reporting.

Sources tell the mags that Wilson sliced his left wrists and took an indeterminate amount of pills.

Wow. Wow. Wow.

Owen was discovered by a family member who summoned help.

Police and an ambulance responded to a 911 call from Wilson’s house in Los Angeles around noon on Sunday.

Owen is said to be in stable condition at the moment.

This is hardcore.

Suicide is never a good option, kids.

DON’T do it!

Update:

National Enquirer editor-in-chief David Perel tells PerezHilton.com….

“Owen Wilson has now been transferred from St. John’s to another Los Angeles area hospital. His brothers Andrew and Luke are with him.

“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.”

Film star Owen Wilson has asked to be allowed to "heal in private" following news reports he was taken to hospital in Los Angeles after a suicide attempt.
"I respectfully ask that the media allow me to receive care and heal in private during this difficult time," Wilson said in a statement.

A Cedars-Sinai Medical Center spokeswoman told the AP news agency Wilson, 38, was in a "good condition".

No official reason has been given for Wilson's hospitalisation.

Hit comedies

Santa Monica police and fire department issued a statement saying that medical help was sent to Wilson's address in Santa Monica, on Sunday.

The statement said "a person" was taken to a local hospital, but did not provide any details.

Wilson's spokeswoman, Ina Treciokas, did not comment on the actor's statement or discuss his medical condition.

Wilson is regarded as one of Hollywood's most bankable stars, having appeared in a string of hit comedies.

The Wedding Crashers, in which he and Vince Vaughn starred as two men who show up uninvited at weddings in order to get dates, grossed $285m (£142m) at the global box office in 2005.

His other films include Starsky and Hutch, Zoolander, and You, Me and Dupree.

He was nominated for an Oscar in 2002 for his writing work on The Royal Tenenbaums. He also starred in the film with brother Luke Wilson and friend Ben Stiller.
