Owen Wilson got a special hospital visit today from the one and only Samuel L. Jackson -- who knew they were buddies?
TMZ was outside of Cedars Sinai this afternoon as Samuel walked in to visit Wilson, and he was clearly taken aback by paparazzi presence.
Owen's brothers Luke and Andrew also checked in on the "Wedding Crashers" star, who was hospitalized yesterday afternoon for an undisclosed reason.

3. The media has this all wrong. Owen was just doing research for his new movie called "The Funeral Crashers."

6. TMZ - Owen tried to kill himself. HELLO! I thought you were the reporters, how is this not one of your breaking news stories. I'm surprised one of your a-hole photogs aren't scaling the hospital wall to get a pic from the window in his room. Someone's slacking off.
But this is a shame, I like Owen, think he's a great comedic actor, but cant understand why he would do this over a woman, he's got so much goin for him, he doesnt need her.

11. I hate Samuel L Jackson, I use to really like him, but he starting believing the hype about himself. I cannot stand looking at him anymore. Don't get me wrong he is a phenomenal actor, but I cannot stand him anymore.

14. I agree with samuel jackson....wtf is the paps doing camping outside the hospital room of ANYONE who has tried to commit suicide?? do you people have no shame...No wonder stars go nuts...the paps drive them over the edge then want to film it...why not just leave the owens and the britneys of the world alone and pray that they get the help they need instead of hounding them to death hoping to get their meltdowns on film...the most private moments should BE private no matter WHO you are....this is sad...

15. Owen had one simple request, "I respectfully ask that the media allow me to receive care and heal in private during this difficult time."
Despite this, your sleeze bag photographers set up camp outside the hospital he's being held at. Leave the guy alone. Surely there's some young starlett who would love to have your photogs chasing them around town begging for attention, but when someone asks to be left alone, have the decency to do it.
I give it 6 months until the paps are directly responsible for a Hollywood death. Maybe that will finally slow you down... though I doubt it.
