Amy Winehouse is reportedly on suicide watch after threatening to kill herself with a knife.

According to a British newspaper, Female First, the singer recently held a knife to her chest and said, “What’s the point in living?”

She is distraught after her jailed husband, Blake Fielder-Civil, turned down early parole. Fielder-Civil has also recently sent her father a threatening letter.

Simon Cowell suicidal as a schoolboy

“American Idol” judge, Simon Cowell, says he considered committing suicide while in school.

“I hated school and I was always bored. I didn’t like the rules and I didn’t like discipline. So when someone said to me, ‘These are the best days of your life’, I actually thought about jumping off a bridge. I thought, ‘If it gets any worse than this I’m done’ because I hated my life,” New-magazine.co.uk quoted Cowell.

Cowell says that it is important to criticize contestants because experiencing censures in his own life made him strong. “No one gave me any handouts when I started. I had to work my way up. I certainly learnt more when people criticised me than when they lied to me and said what I was doing was right.”

Cowell, who is also known on the hit reality show as “Mr. Nasty,” says that one cannot survive in the music business unless that person knows they have made a mistake. “I would feel guilty about giving people fake hope when I genuinely believe they have no chance.”

Owen Wilson is getting his life back on track, following a suicide attempt in August.

OK! Magazine reports that Wilson will begin filming “Marley and Me” next month in Miami. Co-starring Jennifer Aniston, the film is the adaptation of the memoirs of John Grogan. According to IMdB.com, Wilson and Aniston’s characters will learn “important life lessons from their adorable, but naughty and neurotic dog.”

While healing, Wilson dropped out of the Ben Stiller film “Tropic Thunder,” so his return to work is a good sign that the Butterscotch Stallion is back on his feet.
