Courtney Love has thrown her two heroin balloons into the Owen Wilson suicide drama blaming British comedian Steve Coogan, who has a reputation as a partier, for Wilson's attempted suicide.

“Under normal circumstances, I wouldn’t comment but I care too much about Owen. I went through this with Steve. I was just out of rehab and he was right there with the drugs.”

Now I'm not too familiar with all the legal mumbo jumbo but I'm pretty sure that's slander and I think the Alan Partridge star agrees.

“My thoughts are with my friend Owen at this difficult time, but I do want to set the record straight and say that the allegations published today are completely and utterly false.” His spokesman added: “These accusations are unfounded, unhelpful and hurtful to all concerned. We are taking legal advice.”

Coogan was slated to star in the Ben Stiller comedy alongside Owen Wilson which is currently filming in Hawaii but Wilson has since dropped out of the movie.
