    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">LOS ANGELES -- Police were called to Owen Wilson's home because of an attempted suicide report, according to a police log of weekend calls.

    The log doesn't indicate who made the call Sunday, but lists "attempt suicide" as the reason for it.

    Wilson was in good condition Monday at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. Hospital officials said Tuesday they weren't releasing any updated information.

    The actor's publicist, Ina Treciokas, declined to answer questions Tuesday about whether Wilson attempted to commit suicide. She said Wilson's statement asking for privacy was all that was being released.

    Wilson, 38, was initially taken by ambulance from his home to Saint John's Health Center in Santa Monica and later transferred to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.

    The police log shows the initial call came in at 12:08 p.m. and cleared at 5:17 p.m. and a report was filed. Police said Monday that privacy laws prohibited them from releasing that document.

    The police log was obtained Tuesday by CelebTV.com.

    Wilson has two movies in production and two more upcoming releases to help promote.

    DreamWorks Pictures said in a statement that filming continues on "Tropic Thunder," a comedy starring Wilson. The studio offered no details on whether Wilson's role in the movie, directed by Ben Stiller and starring Jack Black, would be recast.

    It was also unknown if Wilson's hospitalization would affect his appearance opposite Jennifer Aniston in the 20th Century Fox comedy "Marley & Me."

    A Fox spokesman told Hollywood trade paper Daily Variety that "it's a totally inappropriate question at this time" whether he would appear in the movie.

    Wilson's hospitalization could also keep him from helping promote "The Darjeeling Limited," in which he stars alongside Adrien Brody and Jason Schwartzman. </div>

    That's a definite surprise.

    A lot of comedians go into a deep depression. I don't like the guy, don't find him that funny. I do feel sorry for him though and I hope he can work his way out of it.

    Make a thread about that, then?

    M, is Wilson a high strung celebrity? I haven't heard much about him partying a lot, spending a lot of money and such. Could this be a case of depression, I know a lot of comedians suffer from it.

    I don't think he is, no, but I don't keep track of many celebs.

    I think it could be a simple case of depression, but we would need to know more about it then this. Usually if a person really wants to commit suicide they don't fail unless they take drugs and they do fail.

    Failed suicide attempts through cutting yourself just as an example are signs of wanted attention. When you want to cut yourself seriously, you can't fail.

    Reminds me a funny story. This one kid a few years back came to talk to me about stuff that bothered him since he trusted me a lot. He shown me scars on his forearms from cutting himself in "attempted suicide failures." I told him something to the extent of, "Ok boy, if you wanted to really kill yourself you would've cut your wrists up and not across. You're not depressed and you don't want to die. Find yourself a girlfriend and shut the hell up."

    Years later he comes to me and tells me that little crap speach turned his entire life around. How's that for some crazy BS? lol

    LOL nice story.

    I read that they rushed him to the hospital because he cut his wrists and he popped some pills. I find it interesting because I didn't expect this from him at all.

    Yeah, but you really never expect that from a lot of people.

    Good thing is that he's alive, you don't want to wish death on people. However, I think he just needs to have a sit down with a psychologist (not a psychiatrist).

    Another interesting fact that I learned in school is that men are much much more likely then women (forgot the exact number) to succeed when attempting suicide. When they want to die, they kill themselves, and they make sure it works. Women on the other hand.........

    I love Owen Wilson btw. His movies are great. Bad news but good to hear he's recovering.

    That would be pointless, people are passive about common people dying. Give them a dead celebrity and they feast like it's Thanksgiving.

    I think it's because as a nation, we're desensitized to common people dying (especially over in Iraq). Nothing is shocking anymore...except when a celebrity who you'd never expect to do something stupid, tries to kill himself.

    That might be the most obvious post I've ever made.

    It's obvious, and it's very true too.

    something kinda sad about
    the way that things have come to be.
    desensitized to everything.
    what became of subtlety?

    how can this mean anything to me,
    if I really don't feel anything at all?

    They said he is the only star in hollywood who can have such a great acting career with that nose, or something along those lines. I hate it, it is so weird. Like he got punched and the front on his nose tiped upward. [​IMG]
