Monday Sadfest: Owen, Keanu, Sophia
James Hamilton
If I didn't have a Red Sox/Yankees war starting tomorrow, I would be curled up in a ball rocking back and forth and crying. Okay, not really, but this weekend was pretty devastating. Movies open and plummet. Big Love ends its season. And that's only the beginning. Read on...
Saddest—Owen Wilson Is Hurting: By now you're probably aware that the immensely-talented-in-more-ways-than-one Owen Wilson was rushed to a hospital yesterday for what Star and the National Enquirer are calling a suicide attempt. This is devastating news, and it reminds us that it's devastating on a basic human level. And there's another level of sadness, too.
Owen is a truly great entertainer. He's not a rich girl gone wild having fashion shoots in rehab and eating air sandwiches at the Ivy. The guy has been working his butt off for years and, as an actor, writer and producer, is responsible for some of the most huggable movies: Zoolander, Meet the Parents, Rushmore, Wedding Crashers. (Not to mention another Wes Anderson collaboration, The Darjeeling Limited, which is about to hit the festival circuit before a December release.) So, I vote for the media to leave the man alone. He's a national treasure, not a trinket famous for shopping and posing. Get well, Owen. We need ya.

Sadder—Fox Really, Really Believes in Keanu Reeves: As do I, but not in this way. They're putting him in a remake of The Day the Earth Stood Still. If you ask me, Keanu's best work was in Parenthood and Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure. I would much rather see him in a remake of a comedy like—no! No more remakes. Even if it's a great film like Earth with a great director, Scott Derrickson, who made The Exorcism of Emily Rose, which totally knocked my socks off. Sorry, Hollywood, but enough already.

Sad—Sophia Bush Won Three Awards for Acting: They are Teen Choice Awards, but still. She won Best Comedic Actress for John Tucker Must Die, which seems ridiculous, as that movie was totally the Brittany Snow and Jesse Metcalfe Show. She also won Best Horror/Thriller actress for The Hitcher, which is ridiculous for reasons I don't really have to go into. Right? Right.
