Still trying to make amends for their scandalous drug bust, Ryan O’Neal and his son Redmond went shopping together in Beverly Hills to buy a birthday gift for Redmond’s mom Farrah Fawcett. Her birthday is February 2. They checked out a few stores and finally decided to play it safe and select something from Cartier.

After Ryan O’Neal and his son Redmond were arrested in September for possession of methamphetamines, Ryan’s lawyer insisted that Ryan had confiscated the drugs from his son and they weren’t his. But yesterday the story changed – Ryan pleaded GUILTY to drug possession and agreed to enter an 18 month drug treatment program. Charges will be dropped if he completes the program. Redmond was already on probation when he was arrested and he’ll be arraigned February 20th. Ryan is not supposed to associate with drug abusers, but Redmond will probably be shipped off to another rehab or even jail. And you think YOU have a messed up family!

Ryan O’Neal, 67, and his son Redmond, 23, showed up in Malibu court today, looking like they were miserable in each other’s company. They were relieved that their possession of methamphetamines cases were continued until January 9. In spite of that, we’re betting those family holiday dinners will be strained, at best.
We haven’t seen Farrah Fawcett in awhile and we’re happy to observe in these photos that she’s looking good. These were taken at Ryan O’Neal’s Malibu house the day after he and Redmond were arrested for drug possession. It has been speculated that Farrah was staying at the house when the arrest occurred. If so, it is an odd place to recuperate from cancer.

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.
