Silences Will Be Broken

HOLLYWOOD, 6:22 AM, SUN JUL 6 | 0 POSTS IN THE LAST 24 HOURS | tips@defamer.com |

Owen Wilson, who in the weeks since his reported late August suicide attempt has communicated updates about his health to the public only through paparazzi photos, friends intimating that he's "doing great," and the occasional lawn mower ride, has granted his first interview to buddy/creative collaborator Wes Anderson. The catch: It's being posted to MySpace at midnight tonight, so you'll probably have to cancel your drinking plans (at least the out-of-home ones) to see if the duo actually address the suicide question or whether they spent they entire session plugging The Darjeeling Limited, knowing that gawkers will be hanging on their every word.

My guess is the latter. Obviously. With maybe one or two vague references to his recent troubles.

I'd LOVE to see it get all deep and revealing though. But that's like asking Jay Leno to get OJ to confess. If that makes sense.

I have a slow internet connection that hangs, so if it's a video, I hope it's not too choppy. I'd prefer a smooth stylized overdose of quick cuts jumping from reveal to intimate reveal, that hit me like a train and leave me breathless.

I, for one, cannot wait for this interview! I believe Wes Anderson will surprise a lot of people and address the suicide issue directly; sensitively, of course (as if Wes could ever be ANYTHING but sensitive!) WA has been making some interesting comments about the reality of what occurred on August 26 with OW (basically, that things are not what they appear to be); even to the point of seeming a bit peeved at times. This might be the opportunity to clear everything up, for the movie's sake and for Owen's. Not to say that it will be hard-hitting - while I wouldn't be surprised to hear phrases like "clinically depressed" and "suffering from exhaustion", I WOULD be surprised to hear things like "hillbilly heroin" and "out of control substance abuse", but you never know...

Natalie Portman pretends she’s important and makes fantastically obvious picks for a charity CD. A Shins remix? No way! Nice guy/every-mid-20s-to-30s-something girl’s dreamboat Ron Livingston will break out of Office Space’s shadow and into more dramatic roles in his movies opening this weekend.
