Ryan O'Neal Busted in Meth Mess

There is no father/son bonding activity quite like being busted together for methamphetamine.
Ryan O'Neal and son Redmond were booked on suspicion of narcotics possession this morning.

Authorities said they were doing a probation search at the family's Malibu home when they found Redmond O'Neal in possession of methamphetamine and a vial of the drug was allegedly found in Ryan's bedroom.

The father/son are being held on $10,000 bail.

McCain Swings at Barack Over Lindsay


John McCainJohn McCain has weighed in over Barack Obama's reported slap in the face to Lindsay Lohan. The Chicago Sun-Times quotes an unnamed high-level Barack source who says they rejected Lohan's offer to host an event because she "is not exactly the kind of high-profile star who would be a positive for us."

Tucker Bounds, a spokesman for the McCain campaign tells TMZ, "So let me get this straight -- they turned away Lindsay Lohan, but Barack Obama has friends like unrepentant terrorist Bill Ayers and convicted felon Tony Rezko? Maybe LiLo is just too upstanding for Barack Obama."

UPDATE: Tommy Vietor, Obama's spokesperson, just told TMZ, "Glad to see they're focused on the important issues over in McCain HQ."

Obama -- Hypocrite or Just Plain Smart?


Barack Obama reportedly turned down a request from Lindsay Lohan to host a few Barack events, claiming "she is not exactly the kind of high-profile star who would be a positive for us."
The Debate: Click to view!
McCain's camp is incredulous -- Obama's peeps think McCain is wasting time on a trivial matter. But it triggered a debate in our newsroom; since Obama did drugs when he was young, is this a little hypocritical in the Department of Forgive and Forget?

Dakota Fanning: Awkward Stage Officially Over


Dakota Fanning Dakota Fanning appears to have survived that awkward, unfortunate stage that afflicts many child stars somewhere between puberty and their first DUI.

The 14-year-old turned up to the NYC premiere of "That Dakota Fanning Rape Movie" last night, looking like quite the lovely young lady.

Your move, Abigail Breslin.

33. I just hope the senior citizens of this country don't use Ryan O'Neal as a role model. what we dont need is rampaging old age pensioners causing trouble in our neighborhoods. Lock him up before society crumbles!

34. ATTENTION John, post number 4: RE: Your post regarding the illegality of the search of the O'Neal home. The search was legal and valid. Probation officers in California are allowed to search the home of a probationer. The probationer has to allow this as a condition of probation. If one does not agree, then they will be denied probation.

The search of Ryans home was part of a regular requirement for people on probabtion. No infringement of rights here. Didn't you even read the article? Also - what the heck does this "bust" have to do with Palin or McCain or even Obama?
Get it together people - focus on the issue at hand if you are going to comment.

At least attempt to appear intelligent.

38. Hollywood people -- drunkards, dope dealing ass peddlers -- that's all they'll ever be. Boycott them already. They're flushing the whole world down the toilet. Stop enabling them!

41. COMEDIAN BILL COSBY, WHILE HE DID LEAVE HIGH SCHOOL TO SERVE IN THE US NAVY, DID RETURN TO CONTINUE HIS EDUCATION. HE WAS ATTENDING TEMPLE UNIVERSITY ON AN ATHLETIC SCHOLORSHIP, WHEN, IN 1962, HE LEFT COLLEGE BECAUSE HIS NIGHTCLUB COMEDY ACT WAS TAKING OFF. HE LATER COMPLETED HIS UNDERGRADUATE WORK, AND WENT ON TO EARN BOTH A MASTER'S DEGREE, AND AN EdD. ( DOCTORATE DEGREE IN EDUCATION ) AT THE UNIVERSITY OF MASSACHUSSETTS. SO, PERHAPS HE COULD BE CALLED A 'DROPOUT'. BUT YOU SHOULD ALSO ADD A 'RETURNED AND FINESHED X3' TO THAT! IT IS QUITE A FEAT TO RETURN LATER. I KNOW. HATS OFF TO THIS LATER EXAMPLE AND NOT HIS EARLIER DECISIONS! SOMETIMES LEAVING ONE'S FORMAL EDUCATION IS NOT DROPPING OUT, BUT MERELY PUTTING IT ON HOLD TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF OTHER MORE CHALLENGING OPPORTUNITIES AT HAND. I AM SURE THE HANDSOME COMPENSATION HE RECEIVED IN LIEU OF STAYING IN SCHOOL WHEN THE OPPORTUNITY PRESENTED ITSELF FOR HIM TO GET IT AIDED GREATLY IN HIS LATER EDUCATION EXPENSES. OH-----AND HE HAD TO 'DROP OUT' OF SHOW BUSINESS TO GO BACK AND GET THE EDUCATION! AHHH-----THE DELICIOUS IRONY OF THE LIFE OF SOMEONE BOTH TALENTED AND INTELLIGENT. ANDY W.

45. Kenny made that comment, because he's frustrated that he hasn't add his meth fix. It may drive him to drink more koolaid.
