Hollywood Wilson asks for privacy after suicide attempt

I rarely report on celebrities, but this is a little different. Who woulda thunk it? From outside, Wilson seems to have it all. Sometimes the "perfect" life isn't quite so perfect.

U.S. comic star Owen Wilson said he wanted privacy after media reports claimed he was hospitalized for a suicide attempt.

"I respectfully ask that the media allow me to receive care and heal in private during this difficult time," the actor said in a statement released by his publicist Monday.

The Oscar-nominated film star was said to have cut his wrists and taken a large number of unidentified pills two days before. He was transferred to Cedars Sinai Medical Center in the Beverly Hills area. Later in the evening, his brother Luke, also an actor, and other family members were seen at Cedars Sinai.
