Arrested
(Ryan and Redmond with Alex Ramos at Retired Boxers Foundation event 2008)
Ryan O'Neal should be nominated for "worst father" in the history of Hollywood. Every one of his kids seem to be hopelessly screwed up by drugs and following in his crooked path. Last December a furious Ryan reportedly punched and KNOCKED OUT his son Redmond at Ryan's Pro-Gym in LA in front of 30 spectators. Ryan blew his top and accused Redmond, 23, who had just completed his 12th stint in rehab, of using drugs again and forging a check to get them. The latest arrest in which Ryan's Malibu house was searched as part of Redmond's probation is especially appalling. Redmond was caught with meth and a vial of meth was reportedly found in Ryan's room also. Both were arrested with $10,000 bail. People at Ryan's gym are shocked - they thought that since Ryan had his cancer scare, he was working out religiously and focusing on getting himself and Farrah better. If charges against Ryan turn out to be true, it will be a big disappointment, but it might explain his violent temper.

We can't help feeling bad for Mackenzie Phillips. With druggy John Phillips for a father, she almost never had a chance. The One Day at a Time star has been in and out of rehabs and arrested several times. She cleaned up again around ten years ago and did some TV work and even made appearances as a motivational speaker. This morning a flight attendant called and told us that Mackenzie was arrested by security at the American Airlines terminal because heroin was found taped to her body. This photo was taken a few months ago at "A Mothers Day Salute to TV Moms." It's just sad.
CNN's witty broadcaster Richard Quest was arrested after he was found involved in mischief with another man in Central Park at 3:40 AM when the park is closed. When he was detained for loitering, he admitted to the cop that he had meth in his pocket. But more startling was the fact that Quest happened to be wearing a ROPE NOOSE around his neck that was ATTACHED to his private parts. Besides the oddly configured rope, police found a sex toy in his boot. He was charged with loitering and possession of a controlled substance - fortunately he wasn't exposing himself and avoided a lewd conduct charge. His friend simply got a summons for not carrying identification. We can't help but wonder what kind of game they were playing.
