I just found this great tidbit. Owen has always reminded me of Bob Hope -- a good looking, sexy Bob Hope mind you. And now this.
I guess it would be asking too much for this to be taped and made available over the internet. Maybe it will be on the Wedding Crashers DVD.
Owen Wilson, co-stars will stage Dewey Beach benefit on May 29

While being interviewed Monday about the plethora of entertainment stars scheduled to visit Delaware this summer, Dewey Beach club owner Alex Pires said he had just confirmed yet another event certain to draw crowds.
Pires said Hollywood actors Owen Wilson, Vince Vaughan and Jon Favreau will perform comedy skits at a benefit at the Bottle & Cork nightclub on Saturday. All proceeds will benefit American families who have lost loved ones in the Iraq conflict.
"They'll probably be onstage for about an hour, beginning at about 9 p.m.," said Pires, who hadn't set ticket prices yet.
Rock groups Strange as Angels and Mr. Greenjeans will play music before and after the benefit.
Wilson, Vaughan and Favreau are currently filming the movie "The Wedding Crashers" in nearby Easton, Md.
The film's publicist, John Pisani, has family in Rehoboth Beach, and contacted Pires with the idea for the event.
"The Wedding Crashers," which is scheduled to hit movie theaters next year, is a story about a group of bachelors who sneak into weddings to take advantage of the romantic atmosphere and meet women.
The all-star cast also includes Christopher Walken, Jane Seymour, John Beckwith, Jeremy Klein and others.
Wilson, Vaughan and Favreau were the only actors scheduled to appear in Dewey as of Monday, Pires said.
Wilson has appeared in hit films including "Zoolander" and "Starsky & Hutch."
Vaughan has appeared in "Swingers" and "Daredevil," while Favreau has appeared in "Swingers" and "Something's Got to Give."
