Wedding Crashers" star Owen Wilson reportedly was hospitalized Sunday afternoon in Los Angeles, although no official confirmation has been given.
The Santa Monica Police Department released the following statement to TMZ.com: "On Sunday, Aug. 26, 2007, at 12:10 p.m., officers from the Santa Monica Police Department responded to a medical assistance call from the Santa Monica Fire Department at the 900 block of 23rd Street.

Wilson's brother Luke was seen visiting Beverly Hills' Cedars Sinai hospital Sunday *** in a videotape on Entertainment ***'s Web site. Sightings of other Wilson family members have been reported by various media outlets.
Several sites have claimed that Owen Wilson attempted suicide, but those reports have yet to be substantiated.
Owen, 38, is the middle child of the Wilson brothers, all of whom act, frequently with each other. Earlier this year, eldest brother Andrew co-directed alongside Luke "The Wendell Baker Story," a film in which Owen appeared.
Wilson, one of the most bankable comic actors working today, is best known for his roles in blockbuster comedies including "Wedding Crashers," "You, Me and Dupree" and "*** at the Museum." One of the most prolific leading men today, he has a bevy of upcoming projects in various stages of production, including the already completed "Drillbit Taylor" and "The Darjeeling Limited."
The latter film, Wilson's latest collaboration with friend and frequent collaborator Wes Anderson, is scheduled for release September 29.

Wilson earned an Oscar nomination for his writing on an earlier Anderson effort in which he appeared, "The Royal Tenenbaums."
Wilson is also scheduled to appear in the big 2008 summer comedy, "Tropic Thunder" opposite "*** at the Museum" co-star Ben Stiller. MTV News recently spoke to that film's co-writer Justin Theroux, who said they were still in the midst of *** the film in Hawaii.
MTV's requests for comment from Wilson's representatives had not been granted at press time.
why??? I don't understand what people be thinking, if it aint killin themselfs then they wanna turn to Liquior and/or drugs
come on I know n*ggas in the hood that been broke all their f*ckin lives and had family members and close friends killed and they never once thought of killin themselfs White folks they don't get their way they ready to just end it all I know him and Kate Hudson been off and on maybe she broke it off permenantly and he suck "f*ck this" who knows
I know its asy to say from where I'm sitting, but I think any celebrity that feesl depressed should come kick it with me for a week, Slave at work with me, drive around in my taurus. Eat mc donalds because you we cant afford to go out. And stay in my cramped apartment. I bet he'd feel MUCH better about his situation...
But its all relative i guess. I hope he works it out, he seems like a pretty likable guy.

I'M A YOUNG,STRUGGLING FEMALE IN NYC..LIVING A REAL LIFE IN THE REAL WORLD AND I MUST ADMIT THAT IT CAN GET PRETTY BAD AT TIMES BUT I DO MY BEST TO STAY HAPPY, FOCUSED,BELIVE IN GOD,DO WHAT I HAVE TO DO TO GET AHEAD & STAY POSITIVE...GREATER,HAPPIER TIMES ARE SURE TO COME!!

This is sad a rich white man in America trying to kill himself..wtf. I hope he recovers well, but I hate to say this but It's just shows you how weak white ppl are. I mean they can't take it when things get challenging because the devil comes and call them home. You guys are probably going to think I'm nuts but we blks are god chosen ppl, we been through so much and treated so bad and we still survive and find a way to survive.

AND I DARE ANYONE ONE OF YOU TO POST ANOTHER NEGATIVE COMMENT ABOUT LAURYN HILL AND HER SO-CALLED "MENTAL ILLNESS"!!!
some black folks can be soooooooo backwards and self-hating and don't even know it! i'm not pointing any fingers, but people give Lauryn Hill such a hard time when there's a story printed about her. i see everything posted from: she's crazy! she needs help! her husband's d*ick is driving her crazy...wtf!
oh lawd, you guys go hard on her!
obviously she and Owen Wilson are battling the same demons, yet Lauryn is handling hers in a TOTALLY different manner! i'm gonna give her the SANE award, b/c homegirl ain't doing nothing but wearing too much costume make-up and DOIN Ms. Hill. she can give flying f*ck who likes it or not!
I hate celebrities! O boo hoo!!! They have everything they need and they wanna whine and ***! And attempt suicide. What I wouldnt give to be in there shoes and be financially stable. Heres a real problem: Single parenting doing it all on your own. Struggling. Trying to find a place to live and save $ for a car to drive to and from work. And paying for childcare while you go to work and not having $ to pay ur ***! Work full time, school full time and single parenting. Its overwhelming. Id like to *** myself in the head sometimes but Im not gna do it. Dumb *** celebs. Funk u britney and owen.
