Looks Like I Picked a Bad Week to be a Celebrity Kid

My blog title is a variation of the Airplane! movie quote that I thought of this week when I read the celebrity news because, it was a tough, tough week to be a celebrity kid. First up was Clark Gable’s grandson Clark James. Handsome like his famous grandfather, but perhaps as smart as this week, Clark James, 22, was charged with a felony for pointing a laser inside the cockpit of a police helicopter. His manager Roxie Davis said he was simply shining the laser out the window of a car and said it was “a huge mistake.” She said … Continue reading →

Joan Rivers Roasts and Ryan O’Neal Regrets

Roasts are supposed to be harsh words from good friends that are meant in good humor and no one should know that any better than Joan Rivers. Joan found herself as the roastee at the latest installment of the Comedy Central Roast. The show will air on August 9th at 10:00 p.m. on Comedy Central and the emcee is none other than D-List celebrity Kathy Griffin. Joan took it all in good stride, promising that the show would be great. She said, “I was in shock at what they said” and added, “They call me evil, mean, and [a] plastic … Continue reading →

Farrah Fawcett Dies at 62

Much like Ed McMahon’s recent death, everyone had to be expecting to hear the news of Farrah Fawcett’s death and today, she became a true angel at the age of 62. The actress had been battling anal cancer. The Texas born beauty started doing television commercials in the late ‘60s/early ‘70s after a publicist saw her photo in the University of Texas at Austin “Ten Most Beautiful Coeds” photo shoot. She appeared in commercials for Noxema, Ultra Brite, Wella Balsam, and Mercury Cougar. She started landing small spots on television shows such as “I Dream of Jeanie” and “Owen Marshall: … Continue reading →

Redmond O’Neal Gets Rehab

Posted on by

Redmond O’Neal, the son of actors Ryan O’Neal and Farrah Fawcett, is getting another chance at getting clean. The 24 year old was arrested on April 5th for drug possession. He took a friend to visit another friend in jail and when the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station officers did a routine check, they found Redmond in possession of heroin. Redmond learned this week that he will go to an intense rehab program. The program will include frequent drug testing and court appearances. If Redmond can stay clean this time, he will no longer be on probation and have his … Continue reading →

The Celebrity Woes of the Week

This week has not been a good one for some celebrities. While some have had a good, freeing week (with both Clay Aiken and Lindsay Lohan admitted their true sexuality), others have suffered emotional and physical setbacks. Poor Jeffrey Ross suffered a torn cornea during practice on “Dancing with the Stars” and was the first celebrity eliminated. That’s okay, the Friar’s Club needs him much more as a roast master general than America needs him as a dancer. Sharon Stone lost a custody battle with her ex this week. Her oldest son, Roan, has been living with his father, newspaper … Continue reading →

Ryan and Redmond O’Neal Arrested on Suspected Drug Charges

Not long ago, I blogged about the recent drug related arrest of actress Mackenzie Phillips. Like Robert Downey, Jr., she was raised in what I consider to be an abusive household where drugs were frequently used by at least one of their parents. You probably know that Mackenzie and Robert have had lifelong struggles with drug addiction (although I am glad to report that Robert has been clean for several years). I know some will say that the addiction is biological, but I think environment has a lot to do with it as well. That being said let me move … Continue reading →
