"Bend It Like Beckham" star Jonathan Rhys Meyers was hospitalized in London Tuesday night after reportedly attempting to commit suicide by overdosing on pills in his mansion.



According to U.K. paper The Sun, paramedics found 33-year-old Meyers "slumped on the floor" ... but he refused treatment for 30 minutes before cops arrived and convinced the actor to go to the hospital.

Officials confirm that officers were dispatched to Meyers' home -- but would NOT say if Meyers was trying to take his own life.

Meyers -- who has been in and out of rehab FIVE times -- was released from the hospital early Wednesday morning.

UPDATE: A source close to Meyers tells TMZ, the actor was NOT trying to kill himself, but had fallen off the wagon.

Carmen Electra and new boyfriend Rob Patterson went to Villa last night and signed the bare torso of an excited fan. Haven't we seen those guys before?

Also in L.A.: Rosario Dawson upped her indie cred with KCRW DJ/boyfriend Mathieu Schreyer (though they didn't want to be photographed together), Felicity Huffman talked twins and Mrs. Partridge Shirley Jones was out at Miceli's in Hollywood.

NY was full of hot men: David Beckham looking mayjah in a suit, Jonathan Rhys Meyers rocking a stache and Tom Brady had paps wondering "what's in the box?!"

So you're fresh out of rehab. Where's the one place you just gotta go to avoid that temptation? Why Villa night club, of course. Jonathan Rhys Meyers and Lindsay Lohan -- both recent rehab graduates -- decided Villa was a good place for the alcoholically challenged.


Meyers entered an alcohol treatment program last April. He also reportedly fell off the wagon in November when he faced public drunkenness charges after an incident at a Dublin airport -- those charges were later dropped.

Jonathan Rhys Meyers said last year he would never drink again. Twice in the last three days does not constitute "never."

Sporting a pair of unfortunate mUggs (man-Uggs), Meyers was seen at 10:00 AM today in London, holding a can of Strongbow Super -- an alcoholic cider that is 7.5% ABV (alcohol by volume -- regular beer is around 5%). Super indeed!

The "Match Point" star was busted Sunday morning after he allegedly got rowdy at Dublin Airport. He was charged with public drunkenness and breach of the peace.

Jonathan Rhys Meyers was nabbed yesterday by Irish cops, after he allegedly got rowdy in Dublin Airport, and he's been charged with public drunkenness and breach of peace, reports the AP.

The actor was arrested Sunday, over what was reported to be "erratic, abusive" behavior at an airport gate and an airline desk on his way to London, even after the cops asked him to chill. He was charged by the Garda Siochana (that's the Irish national po-po) with two counts of violating the Public Order Act. He'll have to return to court on Dec. 5.

In this month's Details Magazine, Myers says, "I didn't drink until I was 25, and I never drank every day, but when I did, it was bad. It would be a couple of days that just wouldn't work out for me, waking up with a hangover. Drink doesn't fit into the groove of where my life is going."

He also told the AP back in 2006 that he "would never drink again" to help preserve his career.

What would you do after being named International Man of the Year? For Justin Timberlake, the answer was to make a move for David Furnish's nipple.

After Kelly Osbourne and Furnish read Timberlake's name, the "SexyBack" singer tried to reenact the now famous "wardrobe malfunction" with Elton John's husband. During his acceptance speech JT said, "Wow, I'm extremely sick. Either that or I've just hit puberty, so congratulations to me."

Another memorable speech was made by Borat (played by Sacha Baron Cohen). Borat was sad his favorite Aussie couldn't be in attendance, saying "I speak with a heavy heart because there is one very special courageous man from Australia who should be here tonight, but because of tragedy cannot. I would like to dedicate this award to you Mel Gibson."

Other winners included "M:I:3" hottie Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Rod Stewart and Cillian Murphy.
