According to OK Magazine, Owen Wilson isn’t handling his breakup with Kate Hudson very well. The actor tried to commit suicide last summer after the pair broke up for the first time and Wilson saw photos of Hudson kissing Dax Shepard. He went through a lot of treatment and stopped drinking and seemed to be doing really well. Needless to say, their friends and families weren’t so wild about the pair rekindling their romance. When it fizzled out again a few weeks ago, everyone seemed optimistic that the pair could handle it well.

However Hudson immediately started dating Lance Armstrong, who was one of Wilson’s good friends. Owen has recently been spotted drinking heavily in several clubs, causing those close to him to worry that he’s slipping back into his old habits.

Kate Hudson and Lance Armstrong are still going strong with their new romance, but one person who’s not as happy about it is Owen Wilson.

The actor, who went officially off-again with Kate a few weeks ago, isn’t taking his ex’s rebound relationship too well, according to clubgoers who spotted him at club G in Philadelphia.

“Owen looked pretty upset,” an eyewitness tells OK!. “He was drinking and sulking until last call.”

Besides drowning his sorrows in alcohol, the 39-year-old, who attempted suicide in August following his split with Kate, has turned to little brother Luke for support.

“Owen’s been spending time on the phone with Luke,” a Marley & Me set source tells OK!. “There are a lot of people making sure they’re there for him.”

Several of their friends have said they assumed Owen would break Kate’s heart, and were genuinely surprised that it was the other way around. It makes you wonder if Kate is dating one of his friends out of spite. Though considering their past, let’s hope that’s not the case. By all accounts Owen has a great family and really close friends. It’s good he’s leaning on them. Hopefully they can get him away from drinking and back on the straight and narrow quickly.

Jennifer Aniston and Owen Wilson filmed a scene for their upcoming movie “Marley and Me” in West Chester, Pennsylvania complete with fake snow and a car stuck in a snow drift yesterday. The movie is based on a memoir by John Grogan, and according to IMDB it’s about a “family learn[ing] important life lessons from their adorable, but naughty and neurotic dog.” It’s due out in the US on December 25, 2008, which would explain all the snow since it’s going to be a Christmas release.

OK! Magazine has supposed insider details about how Aniston is playing it cool with her new boyfriend, John Mayer. They probably made this up, but they claim that she’s keeping busy and that keeps him interested:

While John,30, was performing at the opening of MGM Grand at Foxwoods casino in Conneticut on May 17, Jen was filming scenes for her movie Marley & Me in Philadelphia. Friends of the actress say never again will Jen drop everything for the man she dates. It’s important to her that she keep her newfound sense of independence.

“This is a whole new Jen,” a pal of the actress tells OK!. “She’s trying new things, taking a risk, and is game for getting out of her shell, living her life and trying to be happy.”

A friend of John’s agrees, telling OK, “She doesn’t rush off and go on vacation with John, and she’s made it clear she will not be a groupie at his shows.”

Apparantly, her hard-to-get attitude is working on the heartthrob crooner. “He was smitten with Jen and came to visit her on set,” John’s pal says. “They’re actually working around her schedule more than anything!”

The friend adds, “Jessica Simpsontexted John all the time, but Jen waits a few days to text him back. She hasn’t stopped her life for him. She’s fun and flirty, but hasn’t outright said, ‘I want you,’ which is something John isn’t used to.”

It’s true that it’s a good strategy to keep busy and hang out with your friends and not smother the other person, especially at the beginning when a relationship is just starting to grow. Who knows if that’s exactly what Aniston is doing, or if she’s just doing her job and managing a new relationship at the same time.

Owen Wilson isn’t letting the grass grow under his feet after his latest split with Kate Hudson. Instead of getting depressed, or turning to spiritual pursuits in an attempt to make sense of what happened, he went out to a strip club and blew a lot of money on lap dances. One dancer he took a liking to is said to have borne more than a passing resemblance to his famous ex:

Wilson… headed straight for a Philadelphia strip club last Thursday and partied with a topless Hudson look-alike, sources tell Page Six.

“He spent 41/2 hours at Rick’s Cabaret and was in an upbeat mood,” one spy said. “He watched the Flyers game, drank beer, and when a parade of 75 half-naked girls caught his eye, he asked for dances from several and definitely had a preference for blondes. He tipped at least one with a $100 bill.”

Later, a luscious blonde who resembled Hudson spent some private time with Wilson in a VIP suite. “If he had any problems, you’d never know it. He didn’t seem upset in the least,” the buxom look-alike told us. “People tell me I look like Kate, and it didn’t bother him at all.”

[From The New York Post]

It sounds like Wilson has a type. Many years ago I read those “Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus” books, and while a lot of author John Gray’s advice is hackneyed and seems to rely too much on gender stereotypes, one thing that stuck with me is his advice for getting through the period after a breakup. Gray claims that men tend to go out and get into another relationship right away while women want to stay home and think about things when a relationship ends. He recommends that men try to take their time before they jump into another relationship and that women should date and play the field after a breakup.

Kate Hudson isn’t exactly sitting home crying over their split, either. She’s been seen out twice with Lance Armstrong, who also dated Owen’s other ex, Sheryl Crowe. You hope Lance didn’t have anything to do with Kate and Owen’s breakup, but since it looks like he started dating her almost immediately after they broke up, it’s somewhat suspicious.

Owen Wilson is shown on the set of “Marley and Me” with Eric Dane in Philadelphia, PA on 5/14/08, thanks to WENN.

It seems like dating Lance Armstrong is a rite of passage for Owen Wilson’s ex-girlfriends. Kate Hudson is now dating Owen’s good friend Lance… just like Wilson’s other ex-girlfriend Sheryl Crow. Apparently the pair have been dating for about three weeks – nearly immediately after Hudson and Wilson’s split. She originally met Lance through Owen. Let’s hope these two are such good friends that they don’t mind when one dates the other’s exes.

They both have reputations as heartbreakers. Now glamorous blonde actress Kate Hudson has embarked on a passionate affair with seven-times Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong. The news will be wearily familiar for film star Owen Wilson, Miss Hudson’s ex-boyfriend. He had previously had a three-year romance with singer Sheryl Crow – only to see Armstrong move in after they split and get engaged to the pop star. Armstrong, 36, may have a tough time explaining himself to Wilson – the fellow Texans are, or were, close friends. On Friday, Miss Hudson, the daughter of Goldie Hawn, flew to join new boyfriend Lance at his home in Austin, Texas, for a romantic weekend together.

A source said: “Kate and Lance have been dating for a couple of weeks. She thought it was funny when people were writing recently that she was engaged to Owen because the reality was that they had split again and she was secretly seeing Lance.

“She and Lance are both physical, passionate people – she’s never been happier.” Miss Hudson started dating Armstrong after sparks flew at a private New York dinner party. The source said: “They have known each other for a while and Lance is one of Owen’s good friends. “When Kate was with Owen, she got to know Lance really well but they hooked up again recently at a dinner party thrown by a mutual friend and that’s when the romance began. They have both been keeping it very quiet.”

[From the Daily Mail]

By all accounts Wilson and Hudson’s second split was not a friendly one at all. Supposedly there was a lot of shouting, and they are no longer on speaking terms. That makes you wonder what must be going on between supposed good friends Owen and Lance. If I had a bitter breakup with someone, and then my good friend started dating that person, I’d be pretty damn pissed. You’d think Lance would have a little more class than that… especially the second time around.

There was a brief time in my life several years ago when I was floundering emotionally and spiritually and somehow let myself watch a bit of reality television. Okay I really wasn’t floundering at all, but that’s the only excuse I could think of to justify it. And there’s a chance I was a mild fan of The Surreal Life. I often marveled at Brigitte Nielsen. The woman was as bizarre as they come, especially her odd relationship with Flava Flav.

I was pretty impressed that Sylvester Stallone married a woman so much older than him. Imagine my shock when I found out Nielsen was only 41 when she filmed the show. She looked at least 65. But clearly she doesn’t see it – Nielsen has announced that she’d like to celebrate the 20th anniversary of her Playboy cover by posing again.

Sylvester Stallone’s busty ex Brigitte Nielsen wants to celebrate the 20th anniversary of her Playboy magazine cover - by baring all for the men’s magazine again.

The actress/model announced her plans during an appearance on the Billy Bush Radio Show in Los Angeles, admitting she’ll undergo cosmetic surgery to look her best for the big reveal in December. Nielsen explains she’s planning a face lift and a boob lift and reduction.

She says, “I wanna look up and say, `Oh, I like myself. I don’t like my lines… I’m gonna do the boobs; I’m gonna lift them and be a bit more discreet and then I will do Playboy. Twenty years ago, I did the cover of Playboy… I wanna do Playboy December this year. I’m gonna be 45.”

I hope that plastic surgery is going to involve at least 30 rounds of diamond-grade microdermabrasion. Botox would be good for all the wrinkles, but that woman’s face looks like a splotchy leather glove. She is a true testament to what hard living can do to your looks. Brigitte looks like she spent the last twenty years smoking cigarettes in a tanning bed.

Here are some other famous women born in 1963. Imagine their faces, and then look below to understand my point: Vanessa Williams, Kathy Ireland, Elle Macpherson, Natasha Richardson, Phoebe Cates, Tori Amos, Lauren Holly, Nicolette Sheridan… you get the point. They don’t all look like they’re 25, but none of them look 65 either. I’m not sure plastic surgery could even make Brigitte Nielsen look her real age. Something tells me she might want to focus on other endeavors… like sobriety and visiting the dermatologist regularly.

In news that probably makes a lot of people very nervous, Kate Hudson and Owen Wilson have broken up. Again. You’ll remember that Owen attempted suicide after his last breakup with Kate this past summer. The pair rekindled their romance two months ago, much to the worry of their family and friends. Several unnamed “sources” said they didn’t think it was a healthy relationship for either of them to be in. But as time went on and happy pictures came out, it seemed the pair could maybe make a better go of it this time around. Turns out that was not to be.

Despite a flurry of engagement rumors, Kate Hudson and Owen Wilson – Hollywood’s most notorious on-again, off-again couple – have called it quits, less than two months after rekindling their romance in Miami. The end of their erratic courtship (they began dating in September ‘06) comes amid erroneous reports that the pair were engaged, fueled by photos of Hudson wearing a Tiffany & Co. ring (it was a prop!) both on-and-off set of her film Bride Wars, which she’s filming in Boston.

“It was a pretty bad breakup,” says a Wilson pal. “Owen said it was a tough one. He definitely doesn’t want to dwell on it. He wants to put it behind him.” Since the split, Hudson, 29, and Wilson, 39, have each been spotted letting loose. On May 9, Hudson and Bride Wars costar Steve Howey, 30, visited Boston’s Liberty Hotel bar, Alibi. And on May 11, Wilson dropped by N.Y.C.’s Upstairs with two women.

“He was pretty chummy with the ladies … he was certainly doing some sweet talking,” according to an onlooker. “He looked happy to be there hanging with them.” The late-night outing was followed by a visit to Butter the next night, where he chatted up a sexy blonde. Says a Hudson source: “She feels dumb thinking it was so serious.”

[From People]

Us Weekly reports that their relationship was never serious or monogamous, and that Owen was still heavily playing the field.

Another source close to the couple says they’ve always had a “loose and open thing — never serious, and definitely not monogamous.”

On May 4, Hudson partied with pals in a Boston bar. That same week, Wilson was spotted flirting with women with Miami club Quattro, according to the Miami Herald.

The paper reports that more than a few of them were starting to avoid Wilson’s phone calls because he’d become “so skanky.”

[From Us Weekly]

Hearing Owen Wilson say it was a really hard break up makes me nervous for his health. It’s good he’s being honest – hopefully is friends and family are really looking out for him. There’s no word on who broke up with whom, or how mutual it was. Hopefully they’re both in a better place than last time, and can move on with their lives in a healthy, happy way.

Jennifer Aniston is not dating Orlando Bloom. This should be a relief for Orlando’s girlfriend and Victoria’s Secret model Miranda Kerr.

OK! reports the new couple has been pals since Bloom was cast alongside Aniston’s ex-husband Brad Pitt in 2003 movie “Troy,” and that the actress has held a longtime crush on the 31-year-old Brit.

In its new issue, the publication quotes eyewitnesses who claim the pair “only had eyes for each other” at an Epidermolysis Bullosa Medical Research Foundation fundraiser last month.

A source tells OK!, “They were like heat-seeking missiles.”

But Aniston’s representative has dismissed claims of a romance, insisting, “Orlando is a friend. They both have the same manager and sometimes will be at the same place.”

San Francisco Chronicle

Of course, Jennifer Aniston’s publicist Stephen Huvane hasn’t always been completely honest in his statements. Although I believe that Jennifer Aniston isn’t dating Orlando Bloom, because who has a crush for five years? These are some of Stephen’s classic denials.

BRAD AND JEN ARE NOT ENGAGED
After Jen and then-boyfriend Brad Pitt took the stage during a Sting concert in November 1999 and Jen flashed a big diamond ring on her left ring finger, Huvane told the media: “She has a ring, but it’s not an engagement ring.” He continued to deny any engagement until the couple married July 29, 2000.

BRAD AND JEN ARE OK
Two weeks before Brad and Jen announced their separation on January 7, 2005, Huvane told Us: “They are looking forward to spending the holidays with each other. There is no split. They are fine.”

JEN AND VINCE ARE NOT DATING
When pictures of Vince and Jen cuddling on the set of The Break-Up surfaced in July 2005, and rumors circulated that the costars were dating offscreen, Huvane denied the coupling to the New York Post: “There is no romantic interest. Vince is a good friend of Jennifer’s. I think the tabloids are so eager to see her with someone romantically that they just make these false assumptions.”

Us Weekly

Of course, he might not actually be privy to all the inner workings of his client’s lives. While some might argue that is his job, maybe he just calls them periodically and asks what they’re up to. When they give the universal response of ‘Not much’, he just lets it slide.

Jen also has a very tiny co-star on her new film Marley and Me – named Shiloh, but it’s not that Shiloh:

Jennifer Aniston’s infant co-star in new movie Marley and Me is a seven-month-old baby named Shiloh Yapp, named after Aniston’s ex-husband Brad Pitt’s daughter with his new partner Angelina Jolie.

Owen Wilson and Woody Harrelson have a WEIRD relationship. And not a little weird, where maybe they call each other and talk on the phone for hours like teenage girls. But the kind of relationship where they strip off all their clothes and go swimming together. Well at least one of them does. Continuing on last week’s theme of the “bromance,” we have Woody Harrelson’s trip to visit friend Owen Wilson on the Florida set of “Marley & Me.” And what good is a vacation if you have to keep your pants on?

Woody Harrelson cools off in the hot Florida sun with an impromptu skinny dip with actor friend Owen Wilson. The Natural Born Killers star, 46, has been hanging out with the Wedding Crashers actor, 39, in Miami while Wilson films his latest movie Marley & Me in the Sunshine State. While Wilson seems content to bathe in his shorts, free spirit Harrelson strips off to his birthday suit as he leaps into the Atlantic.

On Saturday, the actors had front row seats to watch Serena Williams beat Serbia’s Jelena Jankovic, and reclaimed their prime position on Sunday to see Russia’s Nikolay Davydenko win against Spain’s Rafael Nadal. After spending hours under the blazing sun watching the centre court action, Harrelson couldn’t wait to get back to his Miami waterfront home and rid himself of his sweaty clothing.

After enjoying a dip in Miami Bay, Harrelson climbed out of the Atlantic for a naked work-out on his private dock. As he hoisted himself out of the water, Harrelson showed his tan wasn’t quite all over as he flashed his white backside. Despite his tan lines, the 46-year-old cut an impressive figure as he stretched and did press-ups in the nude.

[From the Daily Mail]

By pretty much all accounts Owen Wilson is doing much better since his suicide attempt in August. But I can’t help but think that seeing Woody Harrelson’s naked ass doesn’t help things very much. Harrelson and Wilson have been close for a long time, and both seem to share an equally laid back approach to life. When describing an average day in his life, Harrelson noted, “’Every day I swim, I surf, climb coconut trees, play with my kids, eat mangoes. There’s no form to it, which I kind of like.” He and Wilson really are the hippie equivalent of Clooney and Pitt.

Kate and Owen last year
The currently on-again romance between Kate Hudson and Owen Wilson may be getting serious. The couple is reportedly apartment hunting in New York City and looking to move in together as soon as Owen is done filming “Marley and Me” with Jennifer Aniston. There’s even talk that Kate wants to have Owen’s child.

Kate Hudson is apartment- shopping in New York with an eye to living here part-time with her rekindled flame Owen Wilson, according to a pal.

“She is ready to nest and has even been talking about having more little ones,” a friend of the actress tells me.

The pal says she credits getting back together with Wilson for ending a wild period in her life, during which she was linked with Justin Timberlake and Dax Shepard.

“She is relieved to be more settled again,” says the friend. “She really felt as if she were testing her limits going out while she and Owen were separated.”

Hudson is in New York shooting “Bride Wars,” about best friends who fall out over setting the same wedding date, with Anne Hathaway.

But that doesn’t mean Hollywood’s most famous blond couple are ready to make Manhattan a full-time home.

“Kate is a great businesswoman,” says the friend. “If she bought an apartment, it would be to sell [later].”

[From NY Daily News]

So…which is it? Is Kate a good businesswoman, currently working in NYC and seizing the opportunity to buy an apartment while the market is in a lull, or is she all lovey dovey and nesting and looking for a place to lay another egg? These so-called “friends” and “insiders” never give away anything good. Personally, I’d like to see Kate Hudson go a few months between boyfriends. Girlfriend must have a revolving door on her bedroom. However, Owen does seem to be much more upbeat, post suicide attempt, since getting back with Kate- I just hope they don’t go rushing into the whole “let’s have a kid” thing.

Owen Wilson is not doing any interviews or going on talk shows to promote his upcoming comedy, Drillbit Taylor, which is out in the US on March 21 and features Wilson as a bodyguard to three kids who are bullied at school. Producers made the decision to let Wilson sit out all press for fear that he would get grilled about his personal life and suicide attempt last year. The official reason that Wilson isn’t promoting the film is that he’s busy filming Marley & Me with Jennifer Aniston in Miami.

The LA Times has a good overview of how films have failed when stars haven’t promoted them, and although it’s hardly scientific it does point to the need for Wilson to do some sort of press for the film. It might not matter for Drillbit, though, because the audience is adolescent boys and The Times points out that they’re not exactly watching the night time talk shows:

On Friday, Paramount Pictures will release “Drillbit Taylor,” a new comedy starring Owen Wilson as a bodyguard hired by several high school students looking for bully protection. The film has been accompanied by most of the marketing efforts typically associated with a national theatrical release — including television promotions and coming attractions previews — but you can look far and wide and not find Wilson conducting the kind of interviews that stars of his caliber usually do when they have a big movie to promote…

In some ways, the film doesn’t really need Wilson’s publicity help. Although the actor has a following among older, well-read filmgoers (his credits include “Meet the Parents,” “The Royal Tenenbaums” and “Wedding Crashers”), “Drillbit Taylor” is aimed at pre-pubescent boys, many of whom aren’t setting their TiVos for “Late Show With David Letterman” and are not reading this or other newspapers. The interviews Wilson didn’t give, in other words, weren’t really missed.

But that hasn’t always been the case with Wilson or other actors who for personal reasons either weren’t able to publicize their films or faced uncomfortable inquiries when they fielded journalists’ questions.

[From The LA Times via The Huffington Post]

The article goes on to note that Owen’s first film that came out after his suicide attempt, The Darjeeling Limited, wasn’t promoted by him and didn’t perform well at the box office, taking in just $11.9 million in the US.

Eddie Murphy starred in the film Holy Man which was released in 1998, about a year after his tranny hooker bust. He didn’t do press for it either and it was a bomb at the box office.

But Hugh Grant’s film Nine Months came out just two weeks after his arrest for getting a BJ from a hooker named Divine Brown. Grant owed up to his conduct and did an “aw shucks” press circuit that earned him a lot of publicity. The film with Julianne Moore was a hit and took in $70 million.

Maybe Wilson should make a couple of appearances on the talk shows. You have to think they won’t ask questions about his suicide attempt if his publicist works it out ahead of time and it would help clear up some of the mystery. He could crack jokes and show everyone he’s doing fine. (And fighting off two women, by some accounts.)

Here’s the trailer for “Drillbit Taylor.” It looks pretty stupid to me, but I’m not the intended audience.
