Owen Wilson Needs a Little Help

I can’t imagine wanting to take the easy shots at Owen Wilson right now, which makes me feel a little hypocritical. I mean, look at the happy fun mean things I say about Lindsay Lohan and Pete Doherty.

But I like Owen Wilson. Not that I know the man, nor am I likely to, but he’s always seemed smart, funny as hell, and downright nice. I don’t want to see bad things happening to him and I can’t joke about what sounds like someone who truly needs a hand. Whatever is happening in his world--suicide attempts, heroin, and cocaine (which I thought was loads of fun, back in the day) I hope that he finds his way through it safely. There aren’t too many comedians of his brilliance running around the world--and damned if we don’t need a laugh or two.

Godspeed, Mr. Wilson. Your fans are pulling for you.
