Jennifer Aniston is praising Owen Wilson for being “so divine” in Marley & Me.

The comedy — out Dec. 25 — is based on a book of John Grogan’s newspaper columns about life with his wife, their children and their pet dog.

“I’ve never seen him play a part like this,” Aniston tells the Los Angeles Times. “He was a man; he was a husband; he was a father.”

Referring to his 2007 suicide attempt, she adds, “And I feel like, how brave of him, to walk through the year that he walked through.” (Marley & Me was Wilson’s first film since he tried to take his life.)

Aniston wasn’t so warm about one of her other co-stars — a yellow lab named Clyde.

“I walked onto the set and put my sweater and my bag down on the couch, and that dog leapt up onto the couch, grabbed my sweater and started ripping it,” she recalls. “They said, ‘Good, good boy!’ and gave him treats. The set was a toy.”

She says she was apprehensive about doing the film at first (three people, including her father, had given her the book for Christmas).

“I thought, ‘This isn’t a book I’m going to sit down and read, because it’s got a dog on the cover,’” she says. “I don’t know why I had that weird prejudice against it.”

When she saw the script, “I was like, ‘Uck, a dog movie?’” she recalls. After reading it, she changed her mind.

“It’s so much more than a dog movie - it’s this beautiful portrait of a marriage and this 15-year span between these two people and this sweet little unconditionally loving creature that sort of walks through it with them.”

She has played pregnant characters before - but this is her first role as a wife and mother.

Director David Frankel (Devil Wears Prada) asked her not to prepare in advance.

“I said, ‘You’re the boss, I’m your actor, so let’s go,’” she says. “It was all on the page. There was really nothing to do, except be.”

As Kate Hudson continues sleeping her way through the Hollywood phone book, she has taken pause for a moment, to go back to a name she has crossed off several times. Apparently she likes to beat dogs, or beat down men, or just kick them in the nuts repeatedly. According to Star Magazine, Kate has been calling Owen Wilson and trying to reel him back in for some sport fishing. You know, just in case he would like to be crushed again.

Star says that Owen was frosty to the idea at first. Oh, not because she has beaten him down and broken him or even possibly was the result of his suicide attempt. No, the reason he was frosty was that she had been doing one of his best friends. Well, Kate managed to skate right through that one, and Owen did his awww shucks thing and now they are talking on the phone.

Now, we all know that talking leads to coffee which leads to dating which leads to Owen getting stepped on again when Kate takes a shine to some other guy that Owen is close to. I would say a brother, but she probably knows to stay well clear of their path. If you are Owen, you need to stick with that woman you were hanging out at the beach with last week, or go smoke with Woody or do something other than getting back together with Kate Hudson. If he ends up with her again, he needs to turn in his man card and go sit next to Zav Efron in the Ryan Seacrest Room watching Scarface on a continuous loop until he is healed.

The Darjeeling Limited star Owen Wilson was out and about in New York City’s West Village on a bicycle ride. When asked if Wilson’s decision to go for a bike ride had anything to do with the recent news about Wilson’s old flame Kate Hudson dating cyclist Lance Armstrong, Wilson shook his head “no,” and added, “Nah, I just wanted to experience this glorious and wonderful New York afternoon and have a little fun while I’m at it.” Wilson also said that he hadn’t heard about Hudson being linked to Armstrong because he’s too busy working on a film and spending plenty of time at headquarters (and by headquarters, he meant the New York City strip clubs).

As Kate Hudson and Lance Armstrong canoodle their way through Cannes and Monaco, Hudson’s ex, Owen Wilson, is left to drown his sorrows in the company of Hudson lookalikes, according to reports from OK! magazine.

Wilson, who has been in Philadelphia working on the film “Marley & Me,” is said to have been spotted getting cozy with a blonde lady friend at a local Rick’s Cabaret on May 15, then at club G on May 16. A clubgoer told OK! that the actor “looked pretty upset” and was “drinking and sulking.”

A friend of the former couple also told the magazine that they didn’t expect Hudson to be the one to break things off with Wilson. “We all thought it would be Owen breaking Kate’s heart, but it turned out to be the other way around,” the source said. “It’s sad because deep down, they love each other.”

• Owen Wilson Wanted Kate Hudson’s Love
• Kate Hudson and Owen Wilson engaged?

OWEN Wilson has handled his latest bust-up with Kate Hudson a lot better this time around - by immersing himself in blondes, boobs and beer.

Last August, the Butterscotch Stallion, depressed and despondent, reportedly tried to commit suicide after he and Hudson called it quits. But after the on-again, off-again lovebirds broke up this month for the second time, Wilson merely headed straight for a Philadelphia strip club last Thursday and partied with a topless Hudson look-alike, sources tell Page Six.

“He spent 41/2 hours at Rick’s Cabaret and was in an upbeat mood,” one spy said. “He watched the Flyers game, drank beer, and when a parade of 75 half-naked girls caught his eye, he asked for dances from several and definitely had a preference for blondes. He tipped at least one with a $100 bill.”

Later, a luscious blonde who resembled Hudson spent some private time with Wilson in a VIP suite. “If he had any problems, you’d never know it. He didn’t seem upset in the least,” the buxom look-alike told us. “People tell me I look like Kate, and it didn’t bother him at all.” Another stacked dancer had a slightly different take. “He seemed to have other things on his mind. Usually, my 36D boobs can hypnotize anyone - but his mind was elsewhere,” she said.

Wilson, in Philly shooting “Marley & Me,” stayed till closing time at 2 a.m. His rep, Ina Treciokas, didn’t respond to our call or e-mail.

Hudson, meanwhile, isn’t letting any grass grow under her feet. On the same night, she and Lance Armstrong were spotted at the after-party for Kid Rock’s Madison Square Garden show at Wildwood Barbeque. The cozy pair was also seen over the weekend in Texas, where they dined together twice in Austin. “They looked like they were having fun,” a source told People.

Owen Wilson and Kate Hudson have finally confirmed that they are dating because their friends are confirming to People that they have split.

Last week Owen Wilson was seen in a club in Manhattan according to a source.

“He was pretty chummy with the ladies … he was certainly doing some sweet talking,” according to an onlooker. “He looked happy to be there hanging with them.” The late-night outing was followed by a visit to Butter the next night, where he chatted up a sexy blonde. Says a Hudson source: “She feels dumb thinking it was so serious.” 

Hopefully Owen Wilson won’t take it as hard this time.

Another split 

People is also reporting that Shania Twain and her husband Robert “Mutt” Lange are also splitting. The two have been married for 14 years, 3 years less than there age difference

Yeah, I know, that’s Matthew McAunadouche, sorry, it was the best I could do on a Monday morning.

The Sun says, “Kate supported Owen during his low patch and that proved to him she’s the woman he wants to be with for ever. He picked out the ring and went for the biggest one he could find. He was nervous about proposing but Kate was thrilled and the whole thing was really emotional. The engagement is a natural step forward for them both and Kate’s ecstatic.”

However, Us Magazine claims to have exclusive confirmation from Kate and Owen’s rep that they are not engaged:

She’s definitely not engaged,” a rep for Hudson tells Usmagazine.com. A rep for Wilson, 39, also confirms the rumors are wrong.
The reason for the false uproar? Hudson, 29, was spotted wearing a diamond ring in Boston.
“She’s shooting a movie called Bride Wars, which explains the ring,” adds her rep.

I see, the old “I am in character” maneuver! I would say that poor Owen could use a woman in his life right now for self preservation.

If you happened to be in Miami over the weekend you might have got to see Owen Wilson, Richie Sambora and Vince Vaughn all hanging out together. Hopefully there were no joyrides with kids this time. Honestly I don’t know if this is the combination that screams sobriety for any of these three. I mean Vince hasn’t been to rehab, but it isn’t like he doesn’t need to go. I think anyone who actually has sex with Jennifer Aniston seriously needs to consider whether or not they need to go to rehab. OK, OK, that was mean. I could see why he had sex with her, what I don’t see is how he could have had a relationship with her. So, Vince has had sex with her and Owen Wilson is in a film pretending to have sex with her. That is what they call a six degrees of separation 3some. Well if the conversation got awkward they could both ask Richie why he allegedly went drinking and driving with his kid in the car. It is a really unlikely trio, but according to people at the Shore Club the party was wild and everybody was drinking.

The photographer of this particular picture has assured his bosses and the editors of various weekly tabloid magazines that if they squint and stare real hard at the computer screen, they’ll see it’s a photo of Owen Wilson and Kate Hudson in a semi-romantic embrace. The photographer hopes to usher in a new era/style of paparazzi similar to the Magic Eye craze of mid 1990s. If one stares long enough, they’ll be able to see some one famous.

Instead of fussing over headlines linking Owen Wilson to Jennifer Aniston on the set of Marley & Me, should Kate Hudson be more worried about the allure of Woody Harrelson’s positively perfect butt? Looking downright McConaughey-esque (at least from behind), Harrelson displayed enviable the enviable skill of Olympic-style cliff-climbing while nude during a swim sesh with longtime pal Wilson in Miami over the weekend. And we couldn’t be more delighted. Not only have these pictures edged Woody much higher on our list of celebrity crushes, but they’ve given The Daily Mail the opportunity to Photoshop a mini-animated tale of Woody’s butt’s ascent from the Atlantic. Though we highly doubt Owen will fall for the Woodster’s cheeks, we couldn’t resist taking a closer look ourselves after the jump, including a peek at Owen’s much more demure choice of swimwear.

After seeing Woody very impressively hoist himself from the water to the cliff, we would like to get in touch with his trainer. Not as impressive are his tan lines, but with a behind like that, we’ll forgive him.

As Woody happily trots back to the cabana with nary a care for who spots him, Owen takes a dive into the water wearing a much more standard pair of trunks. Which is sad, since we’d be more than happy to see Wilson follow in Woody’s footsteps the next time around.

Jennifer looks cute and has been annoying me much less lately. Dare I say, I am starting to like her. With that said, I would like to see her and Owen get together. Of course Owen and Kate are supposbly a thing but come on, Jennifer is much less of a floozy. I wonder how the film “Marley & Me” will be. Can Jennifer escape the character Rachel Green? I have never seen her as too accomplished of an actress. Her best role was on “Friends”, an overrated show with bad jokes and a good timeslot to make up for it. I hope she can get away from Rachel in one of her upcoming projects.

But when they saw they were being watched, he let go of her hand and walked ahead of her.”<130%;">So apparently,  all of those reports regarding Jen Aniston and Owen Wilson’s budding romance were just mere rumors.
