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.

62. It seems to me that Hollywood has gone astray. Now, it seems in order to have mass appeal, one must demonstrate that they are "real" people. I have noticed this trend with many stars. It use to be back in the day, stars would pay big money to keep thier private life out of public knowledge. I guess those days are long gone. Hummm, what is that saying, ah yes.." It is when people stop talking about you is when you should worry"

63. For all you dimwits, people on probation, as a condition of probation, must submit to searches of their home, car, person. It is not unconstitutional, as they have committed crimes and are being put back out in the general population of America on these conditions. Viiolations of probation CAN get you back into jail for the original sentence. Stop talking out your hoo hoo.

64. Remond, has been a drug addict for a while, (he was a preteen dope feign)! Ryan always came to visit him during his detention stays as a kid and so did Farrah (occasionally). Now, Ryan just has to ask for an adjoining cell, no need for a visitors badge. I don't give to cents for a drug addict that's worth $$$, I do feel for those that don't have the same resources to rehab. and good lawyers. Someone, call Betty Ford and get Tatums take on the situation :-(

65. Bummer, Obama. It looks like that 10 grand Ryan was going to give you at Striesand's last night instead had to be used to get his ass out of jail, but Im sure you wouldn't turn down drug money.

66. Typical Democrat/Hollywod Calif /Dems & Meth They all go together/ Im glad I changed to the Republiccan party this election.

67. Rikisjama: You're mostly right about the Republicans, unfortunately. I'm a registered Libertarian who has voted for both Democrats and Republicans in the past depending on what they were about. There are good and bad apples in both of those parties. The War in Iraq was/is so terribly illegal that I was willing to give the Democrats my vote. Unfortunately, Obama won the nomination. I was going to vote at that point, for my party's candidate or Ron Paul, but now that I know so much more about Obama, I may just have to vote for McCain to help insure we don't get a pro-Muslim (who claims to be Christian) in the White House.
Give careful thought to what this election will do. No, we don't want war mongers in the White House anymore, but are we ready to put Barack HUSSEIN Obama in there?

WTF, does Obama have to do with this? Please give me a F****g break, McOld left his first wife, when she became disabled! Obama is still with his first and only wife! McOld had an innappropriate relationship with a Washington Lobbyist! If you are so afraid, that Obama is going to win, MOVE! Because he will be the next President of these here United States

69. Does anyone remember Farrah being wigged out doing the naked painting, and how strung out on drugs she was apposed to be? Farrah, hubby, daughter, son..... HUGE SURPRISE lol

70. Just how do the politicians figure in a dope bust? Some people are just ignorant.
Now if Redmond is on probation why the hell are they checkin Ryan's bedroom? Sounds like A phone call was made. Wonder where Tatum was? calling probation in between hitting the glass d*ck

71. Clecho: Interesting. This is the first questionable thing I've heard about Biden. Otherwise, I thought he was/is an outstanding candidate. I'll look into your allegation.

72. Ryan O'Neal's children can thank their father for showing them how to grow old without dignity. I really do like Tatum though. What a talent - with propoer guidance she would have been an A-list actress. An Oscar at 10 years old (which her father was so JEALOUS of) and a pretty girl at that. It seems to me that she really does try and she loves her kids - can't say as much for her father. Ryan can go jdidjddnbdb himself, but I hope his kids can survive him. That poor red haired kis has an ill mother (Farah F) and a worthless Dad. Maybe they are spoiled, but Ryan isn't helping any of them. He seems like a nasty man as well. Best thing would be to stay away from him.

73. How ignorant are people today? Are you really out there> you who have made comments? What age are you,?i am jsut shaking my head........... i shouldnt even commnet, but I thought most of these comments were made by idiots, pure idiotic, empty chest, empty minded people. No wonder some of our stars, are stars. Accontability is a great start. Ryan where is your head? Who are you? and why is anyone paying attention to you?

74. Dakota Fanning is such a lovely young lady. let's hope she remains a person of high personal values.

75. John, You are a moron. Probation officers can legally do probation checks involving inspecting your house for contraband. If you decline these terms to your probation, then you serve that probation time locked up in jail. That's the deal.
