So there! Owen Wilson didn’t swallow a stomach load of pills after all. He just slit his wrists. Really, it’s not as bad as we thought. Also, if you’re waiting to hear those 911 tapes, don’t hold your breath. The City of Santa Monica says no dice.
“In reaching this decision the City believes that in many instances no person should have to worry about whether placing a call for emergency assistance will automatically make his or her medical request open to public review,†the City Attorney’s office said in a press release late Wednesday. “In balancing the competing interests, the City agencies outweigh the public interest served by disclosure of the emergency 911 call. In situation such as this, the City concludes that the public is best served if medical attention is promptly sought instead of being delayed because of a concern, real or imagined, of public attention, regardless of whether that publicity is sympathetic or not.â€
I give it two weeks.
