61. Unless he has a positive HIV test or some other disease that cannot be cured and will cause his death in a painful manner. He's nuts with his life and fame to try and off himself. Obviously he has no respect for his own life, so how could he respect other's; mix that with his obvious insanity. Kate Hudson was smart to get away from Wilson. Oh poor baby wilson, we better feel sorry for him, he might just show us all again. Same guy is also capable in my opinion of also hitting a Women, even killing her, if she does buy into his selfish, look at me Mr. Celeb who hurts. That's what this selfish little wuss man wants and he aint getting it from me!

66. I can't wait for him to try again. You guys don't understand what he put me through. Owen is the neediest person I have ever met. He drove me insane with his insecurities. I don't care what team of doctors' see him (and trust me they'll need a team) The man is a circus freak!! There is no amount of healing or medication that can rein in the sort freakdom Owen possesses.

...where is Dr. Kevorkian when we need him

73. This is tragic. I was really hoping it was something other than a suicide attempt. I hope he and his family get through this and he gets the help he needs. Its sad to see someone who is in the public eye like this so often suffer but it just brings the point home that they are human like everyone else and have problems as well.

74. maybe next time he'll suceed LOLOLOLOLOL

75. I can understand the lack of sympathy because this man is not dying a some painful cancer while his family watches. taking his own life his family would forever be left in tremendous pain and maybe unjustified guilt. I hope the guy gets the help he needs in the hospital and is well. Some of you are to self righteous for my taste, you want to tsk tsk and control other's from posting and their content and your own post's are only about other posts! #47 is a prim example.
Just leave this site if it bothers you..
