Jonathan Rhys Meyers Hospitalized After Suicide Attempt
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Drugs, Drunk, Meltdowns,
Actor Jonathan Rhys Meyers was hospitalized after a suspected suicide attempt on Tuesday.
The Tudors star - who has been in rehab five times for alcohol problems - refused treatment by paramedics for more than 30 minutes, meaning they were forced to call police and he was eventually taken away by ambulance to a facility near his home in Maida Vale, north London.
"This is very sad. It was the opinion of those present that he tried to take his life," a source said.
Worried neighbors saw the 33-year-old actor - who was believed to have overdosed on unspecified pills - rushed to hospital. "I saw the ambulance arriving and was worried to death. Jonathan is a lovely guy. You see him all the time in the street. He says hello and is very pleasant. I hope he is fine," one onlooker said.

Christie Brinkley and singer Billy Joel’s daughter, Alexa Ray Joel, insists she wasn’t trying to kill herself when she took an overdose.
The musician, who is the , was hospitalized last December after taking an overdose of painkillers, but says she was “panicking” over the end of her relationship with her first love, Jimmy Riot.
“I wasn’t trying to hurt myself, I wasn’t trying to kill myself. I was panicked, I was not thinking clearly at all. I was in so much pain and I just wanted to numb it. He helped me get my band together, my career, my sexuality as a woman, I associated with him. So when he left I didn’t know what I was supposed to do. I didn’t know who I was. It took me so much work, heavy, heavy work to get to the point where I could feel OK on my own.”
Alexa, 24, also spoke of her desire for people to not compare her with her famous parents and judge her music on its own merits: “Everybody gets it - I’m their daughter. But I have my own voice, I have my own sound and I have a big personality. You might want to take a listen.”

Kate Hudson and Owen Wilson Break Up Again
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Movies, Break-ups, Rumors,
Although the couple appeared happy in recent months, word has it Kate Hudson and Owen Wilson are over. Again.
Their first go at a relationship started back in 2006 when the two worked together in You, Me and Dupree. Unfortunately, it was believed Wilson’s love of partying caused their eventual breakup last spring. Then, as well all know, Owen apparently hit bottom when he attempted suicide in August.
When the couple started spending more time together earlier this year, it was widely hoped this second try would finally stick. Sadly, sources report to both Us and People that the two are indeed over. But is it really? Something tells me this won’t be the last we see of them.
