News Item: Owen Wilson hospitalized after suicide attempt
How creepy is that "Needle in the Hay" scene in "The Royal Tenenbaums," in which Luke Wilson attempted suicide, now? First, the singer of the song (Elliot Smith) commits suicide, and now the brother of the actor in it allegedly tries it himself, also by slitting his wrists.
