Ryan O’Neal

RYAN O’NEAL IS STILL CASHING IN ON FARRAH’S MEMORY

Ryan O’Neal has been making a huge deal out of his prostate cancer and of course, there’s a good reason that has nothing to do with honesty. The dramatic announcements (is it stage FOUR or stage TWO, Ryan? Make up your mind!) were well timed to arouse pity and draw attention to his new book “Both Of Us- My Life With Farrah.” So he’s still cashing in on his relationship with Farrah, perhaps because not many people care about HIS life story. On his website, Ryan modestly describes himself as an “iconic actor, Oscar nominee, and true movie star.” Miraculously, he’s not too sick to schedule a cross-country book tour, starting in New York Tuesday.

Family Oprah Reality Shows Ryan O'Neal 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.

Crimes and Misdemeanors Drugs Farrah Fawcett Redmond O'Neal Ryan O'Neal

REDMOND O’NEAL BACK ON DRUGS AND BACK IN JAIL

While Ryan O’Neal is fighting to hold onto that Warhol painting of Farrah that she probably willed to her alma mater the University of Texas, his son Redmond, 26, is back into drugs. He got out of his court ordered rehab just last August according to RadarOnline, and was pulled over today in Santa Monica for running a red light. Police found heroin in his car and locked him up. After around a dozen rehab attempts, we wonder if there’s much hope for Redmond. His mother left him enough money to live without working and he has minimal education. His biggest crime now is driving.

Andy Warhol Art Crimes and Misdemeanors Farrah Fawcett Ryan & Tatum: The O'Neals Ryan O'Neal University of Texas

ANOTHER REASON TO BE SUSPICIOUS OF RYAN O’NEAL

We had to laugh when we heard that the University of Texas hired a private investigator to locate a missing Warhol painting of Farrah Fawcett that she left in her will – along with the rest of her impressive art collection – to her beloved alma mater. On the OWN network’s premier episode of “Ryan & Tatum: The O’Neals,” that missing 30 million dollar Warhol could clearly be seen hanging on Ryan’s Malibu bedroom wall! Keep in mind, Farrah famously left NOTHING to Ryan in her will. According to Star magazine and Radaronline, the university’s hired investigator is closing in on Ryan to retrieve the artwork.

Farrah Fawcett Lost & Found Reality Shows Ryan O'Neal Tatum O'Neal

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.

Farrah Fawcett Greg Lott Ryan O'Neal Will

HEY, RYAN O’NEAL – MAYBE FARRAH WASN’T SO CRAZY ABOUT YOU!

We’re not big fans of Ryan O’Neal so we were delighted when Farrah Fawcett’s will became public and she ignored Ryan completely and left $100,000 to her “college sweetheart” Greg Lott. Greg was a football star and Farrah was a freshman at the University of Texas when they met. Eventually she ran off to Hollywood and married Lee Majors. Farrah and Greg reunited in their later years and she gave him the rights to sell Farrah posters and merchandise and run her fan web site. In college they had spent a romantic spring break together in Acapulco and in 2000, Farrah and Greg reenacted that vacation. In THIS INTERVIEW Greg says Redmond lived with is father (whom Farrah never married) from the age of 12 on – hardly a decent influence. When she became bedridden, jealous Ryan had Greg banned from phoning or visiting. Greg complained, but no one paid much attention until this detail from Farrah’s will indicated her true relationship with Greg.
