Owen Wilson is simplifying his life. He's been seen frequenting the Mana health food store in Maui, stocking up on organic health food and vegetables. Owen has been staying at Woody Harrelson's house in Maui and waiting for an opportunity to buy a home in the same community. Woody lives in an eco-friendly sustainable private neighborhood for rich hippies. Recently a house DID come up for sale and Owen is already in escrow.

Owen Wilson's romance with Kate Hudson finally seems to be over for good, and no one is happier that Owen's best friend Woody Harrelson! According to an acquaintance, Woody and Kate NEVER got along, but they put their differences aside for Owen's sale. (Actually it often happens that best buddies don't like their pal's significant others.) Woody is relieved that Kate is out of the picture- he never thought she was the right girl for Owen.

Jessica Simpson HAS been spending lot of time with Owen Wilson, but her dad Joe wants Owen out of the picture. Jessica has been insisting to Joe that she and Owen are just friends and he needs friends right now. But when they're not together, Owen keeps in close touch by calling or messaging Jessica frequently. Joe is planning a big comeback for Jessica and he feels she wastes time getting too involved in her "relationships" and neglects her own career. Joe is very aware of the fact that Jessica falls for guys who are needy and Owen fits the description.

Owen Wilson enjoyed a sunny day at Venice beach this week under the watchful eye of his brother Andrew. (His wrist scar is healing nicely.) Apparently his family members are afraid to leave him alone. They're still trying to coax him into rehab but it's funny how the people who need it most, refuse to cooperate. Unless a judge declares they have no choice.

Owen Wilson is probably thrilled that the press has decided that he attempted suicide because of his bustup with Kate Hudson. It's a very logical explanation for his highly unexpected behavior. Looks good on paper. Plus it sounds touching and romantic - but it couldn't be FARTHER from the truth. Owen is the one who broke off their relationship. Right now he's in the psycho ward at Cedars and needs a plausible explanation for his actions because he doesn't want the truth to come out. Hollywood insiders are buzzing that Owen's problem is drugs, not women. They speculate that the drugs he'd been using made him depressed and drove him to attempt suicide. Why else would he have a high-powered lawyer at his bedside?

We hear that Owen Wilson is at St John's hospital in Santa Monica in a terrible state. A nervous breakdown? We're told he attempted suicide by slashing his wrists AND taking pills. His family found him clinging to life. Drugs have been rumored to be a problem for him but they didn't seem to interfere with his work. This is a shock - nobody suspected he was in such bad shape. It's difficult to imagine a guy so lucky in his career and lucky in love wanting to end his life.

Mary-Kate Olsen was sitting outside at Opera the other night and the table was littered with Grey Goose bottles. She was in a good mood and Owen Wilson drifted over and struck up a conversation with her. A few giggles later they were getting along so well that he had his arm around her. He asked for her phone number and she gave it to him. But shortly thereafter he resumed circulating around the club and picked up a few MORE numbers. Limited attention span?

Is Kate Hudson having a Meg Ryan experience? Kate was conspicuously absent from the London premier of You, Me, and Dupree. Since she rarely misses a chance to promote her films, her absence got everybody wondering if she was reluctant to be photographed with her costar Owen Wilson. Rumors have been circulating that Owen was the reason she split with her husband, so it's an awkward situation. She chose to stay home and spend time with her son Ryder and estranged husband Chris Robinson. Maybe she's starting to realize that her adorable leading man isn't great boyfriend material - just as Meg Ryan changed her mind about romancing the leading man who broke up her marriage, Russell Crowe. It's never too late to change one's mind.
