Courtney Love has put the blame on ex-love Steve Coogan for Owen Wilson's drug problems, that reportedly led to his alleged attempted suicide at the weekend.

Wilson, who is currently recovering in hospital after he reportedly cut his wrists and took an overdose of illegal drugs, is good friends with Coogan.

But today, Love has claimed that it is Coogan's influence of drug-taking that pushed the You, Me and Dupree actor over the edge and made him descend into depression.

She said: "Under normal circumstances I wouldn't comment but I care too much about Owen.

"I went through it with Steve. I tried to warn Owen. I tried to warn his friends."

Wilson is on watch at the Cedars-Sinai Hospital in LA.
