Tatum O’Neal

RYAN O’NEAL: “IT’S OPRAH’S FAULT THAT TATUM AND I DON’T SPEAK!”

How funny is it that Ryan “pass the buck” O’Neal blames Oprah for widening the rift in his family. Ryan, 70, and his estranged daughter Tatum, 47, filmed eight episodes of their reality show all about their attempts to reconcile after ten years of estrangement for the Oprah Winfrey Network. We have to give Tatum a lot of credit for even attempting to get along with her impossible father. The series featured therapy sessions including father and daughter but after it wrapped they were no longer speaking at all. Ryan blames not his own history as a monstrous father, but Oprah’s prying series. We think Tatum is better off without him.

GET IN LINE LADIES, RYAN O’NEAL IS LOOKING FOR LOVE

Ryan O’Neal wants the women of Los Angeles to know that his is now officially available for dating. (In fact, he was seen sweet talking a woman over dinner at Mastro’s recently) And there’s a bonus – his lucky dates are likely to appear on his new reality series on Oprah’s OWN network. Ryan and his daughter Tatum both want to be on TV so badly that they’re willing to try and get along while doing a show based on their reconciliation called “Lost & Found.” (If you recall, Ryan didn’t recognize Tatum at Farrah’s funeral and hit on her!) The series will feature both of them in much-needed therapy sessions and also their respective dating lives. Hence the opportunity to date Farrah’s ex.

MICHAEL JACKSON AND TATUM O’NEAL: YOUNG AND RESTLESS

It’s hard to imagine that Michael Jackson ever looked so young and innocent. This photo was taken at some long-forgotten event by Brad Elterman in 1979. Michael Jackson, 21, was on a “date” with Tatum O’Neal, who was 16 at the time. Michael had just released “Off The Wall” and his future seemed unlimited. Tatum had won an Oscar for “Paper Moon” and her career was already tapering off. She was reportedly disappointed that Michael just wanted to be “friends” and their relationship went nowhere. Is it a coincidence that drugs were destined to have a major effect on both their lives?

RYAN O’NEAL’S KIDS AGREE WITH EVERYTHING WE SAID ABOUT HIM

Farrah-Fawce#58DE6FcutRyan O’Neal’s kids Tatum and Griffin validated all the claims we made about Ryan cashing in on Farrah’s death. We believed that all that whimpering Ryan did on TV was strictly to publicize HIMSELF, and make some money doing interviews. We always though he was a reprehensible person and father, and his damaged children agree. Newly blonde Tatum has admitted her father did not recognize her at Farrah’s funeral and tried to “pick her up.” Griffin told Larry King that he felt his father Ryan simply “tried to make money off Farrah’s death .” Griffin said “He stuck around to make sure he was in Farrah’s will.” (He WASN”T, Redmond got it all.) Now Griffin suspects that Ryan is sticking close to incarcerated Redmond “because he got all the money.”

TATUM ' O'NEAL HAS A NEW PUPPY TO KEEP HER COMPANY

Since her half brother Redmond AND her father Ryan have been arrested on drug charges, Tatum O’Neal must feel like the heat is off her for now. Certainly it will be more difficult for Ryan to deny the charges Tatum made in her tell-all book “A Paper Life.” If you recall Tatum claimed to be distraught over the death of her dog when she got caught attempting to buy crack recently and now we’re happy to see she’s got a new puppy.

MICHAEL JACKSON CLAIMS TATUM O'NEAL TRIED TO SEDUCE HIM

Love, love, love, this classic photo by Brad Elterman! It’s around 1979 and Michael Jackson and Tatum O’Neal were “dating,” and they went to some kind of party together. Michael is wearing a Florida souvenir shirt with all the cities’ names on it and rhinestone palm trees. Tatum is around 16 and Michael’s around 21 in this photo. Michael claimed Tatum tried to seduce him and Tatum insists she did NOT. Who do you believe?
Incidentally, we hear that Debbie Rowe just did some sort of magazine interview that might clarify the genetic composition of Michael’s kids with her. Hard to believe, however, since her income is directly related to keeping her mouth zipped up.

TATUM O'NEAL HAD A GOOD REASON FOR BUYING CRACK

This dog is the reason Tatum O’Neal gives for going crack shopping. Her 16 year old beloved Scottish Terrier Lena (shown above in 2006) was sick with cancer and Tatum and her daughter had to have their dog put down. Devastation over the loss drove Tatum to seek solace in the streets. Are we the only ones who completely BELIEVE this excuse? We feel for her. What could be more agonizing? Give Tatum a break. And sign her up for Celebrity Rehab.
