You know what they say about the tears of clown...when no one's around. Sad, sad, sad.

Owen, dude, seriously, what more do you want out of life? You've had half the panties in Hollywood, you are a working actor getting paid nice coin for your work and you are 50% responsible for the genius that is Wedding Crashers — don't be greedy AND stupid. Stay away from the white lines man, get some help and find a nice girl to love, the rest will take care of itself.

It's life, not rocket science. Sheesh.

UPDATE:  Owen has issued a statement to the press and is currently seeking treatment at Cedars Sinai Hospital in LA where he has been visited by his family, including brothers Andrew and Luke.

"I respectfully ask that the media allow me to receive care and heal in private during this difficult time."

There's no word yet on what led to the comedic actor's suicide attempt, but stories are beginning to emerge of drug and alcohol issues from his not so distant past.  Star is citing a source who states that they were in AA with Owen, where he was seeking counseling for alcohol and drug related issues, especially prescription pills.  According to the source, as Owen's career began to take off he was seen at the meetings less and less, and quit coming in 2006 altogether. 

It really is sad to watch someone as fun-loving as Owen Wilson seems to be battle a deadly addiction to alcohol — but it is NOT shocking considering his profession and environment.  Hollywood is no place for the weak.  Good luck man.
