Update: Owen Wilson in 'Good Condition'

[emily_3383]

A spokesman for Cedars-Sinai tells "Extra" today that Owen Wilson is "in good condition" at the hospital.

But the question remains: what happened to the seemingly carefree funnyman?

On Sunday afternoon, police got a frantic 911 call from his Santa Monica home.

Reports say he slit his wrists and took an underdetermined number of pills.

Paramedics first took him to a nearby hospital, then rushed him by ambulance to L.A.’s Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, where friends and family are rallying around him today.

Reports say his brothers and parents were seen entering the hospital.

Owen’s medical drama unfolded just hours after his ex Kate Hudson and her reported new beau, comedian Dax Shepard, were spotted kissing at a grocery store in nearby Pacific Palisades.

The news is shocking to everyone who knew of Owen, the laid-back comedian who was nominated for an Oscar for “The Royal Tenenbaums†screenplay and who starred in such hits as “Wedding Crashers†and “Zoolander.â€

Fellow funnyman David Spade was taken aback by the news last night in Beverly Hills.

Shocked, he said, “That’s horrible news. I love Owen. He’s great. That’s tough to hear.â€

Maybe he went to the hospital for "exhaustion" like every other celebrity. On a serious note, though, I hope the reports are false and it wasnt anything major.

“Extra†has learned from a source close to Owen Wilson that the actor did indeed attempt suicide over the weekend.

The source revealed 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.

 

[dixiewolf]

oh my. I didnt know it would be true. But funny people, you dont know if they are depressed, they are good at covering it up.

 

[babyangel]

So sad. It just goes to show you can't really tell how someone is feeling on the inside.
