Ryan O'Neal Cheated On Dying Farrah Fawcett With Alana Stewart
Posted on 22. Jul, 2009 by CSS.
Ryan O’Neal is furious at his estranged son for claiming that he cheated on his late girlfriend Farrah Fawcett with her best friend of thirty years, former model Alana Stewart.
Griffin O’Neal — who was barred access to Farrah’s funeral in Los Angeles earlier this month — has accused the actor of sleeping with the former Mrs. Rod Stewart as Farrah lay dying of cancer in a city hospital.
“They were sharing a room together,” Griffin reveals in the new issue of In Touch Weekly.
Griffin recallls an incident when Fawcett’s father, Jim, walked in on the couple in bed together while visiting his sick daughter. “It made Jim uncomfortable, so he packed his bags and went home,”
Farrah’s longtime friend Javier Salazar also backs up the affair claims, describing Ryan and Alana’s relationship in Farrah’s final days as “fishy.”
“Ryan and Alana are a little too cozy with each other….It is raising eyebrows. They both stayed at Farrah’s (home) in the end.”
Earlier this week, Stewart announced that she will publish a diary of her friend’s fatal fight against anal cancer. The book is scheduled for release next month.

Alana Stewart To Publish Farrah fawcett Cancer Diary, "My Journey With Farrah"
Posted on 22. Jul, 2009 by CSS.
Alana Stewart, Farrah Fawcett’s best friend of more than 30 years, is publishing a diary she kept of the late actress’ battle with cancer.
The iconic pin-up model and star of the ’70s series Charlie’s Angels died June 25 after a lengthy fight against anal cancer. She was 62.
My Journey With Farrah will be released through publisher William Morrow, an imprint of HarperCollins, in August. Some of the proceeds will be donated to the Farrah Fawcett Foundation for cancer research.
The book will contain never-before-seen photos and deeply intimate revelations on life and spirituality.
“When the idea to do this book was presented to me, I thought long and hard about it,” the former wife of rocker Rod Stewart said of her decision Monday.
“In fact, I agonized over the decision. Now, was I doing the right thing by sharing many of our private moments? Farrah had originally encouraged me to write this book. It was her idea. However, while I was contemplating my decision, her health took a turn for the worse, and I could no longer seek her advice. So I turned to Ryan O’Neal. He was so positive and so supportive. ‘You have to do it’, he said emphatically. ‘There will be lots of people writing books about her. Yours will be the truth, and it will be a wonderful tribute to her. You have to do it!’ My hope is that people will find this book to be a heartfelt tribute to my friend of 30 years and her valiant fight against cancer. I also hope that it will be helpful and supportive to all of those people who have loved and cared for someone close to them with a lingering illness. I realized while I was putting it together that it was a way of keeping Farrah’s memory alive, not only for me but for everyone who reads this book.”

Farrah Fawcett Dies
Posted on 25. Jun, 2009 by CSS.
Very sad news to report everyone….
Farrah Fawcett, the American sex symbol best known for her role on the ’70s series Charlie’s Angels, has died after a three year battle with anal cancer.
She was 62.
The lady with the iconic hair passed away at St. John’s Health Center in Santa Monica, California at 9:28 AM on Thursday.
While her condition was deteriorating, those closest to Farrah wanted to take her home for her final days.
Her death comes just days after longtime companion Ryan O’Neal revealed that after 27 years of dating, he had recently asked Farrah to be his wife.
“She’s gone. She now belongs to the ages,” O’Neal said in a statement to PEOPLE on Thursday. “She’s now with her mother and sister and her God. I loved her with all my heart. I will miss her so very, very much. She was in and out of consciousness. I talked to her all through the night. I told her how very much I loved her. She’s in a better place now.”
He added: “She was with her team when she passed … Her eyes were open, but she didn’t say anything. But you could see in her eyes that she recognized us.”
O’Neal says Farrah’s family and friends plan to honor her with a funeral service at the downtown Catholic Cathedral in Los Angeles sometime in the next few days.
Rest In Peace, Farrah…..She put up an incredibly courageous fight against an awful disease. Now she really walks with the angels…

Ryan O'Neal "The TODAY Show' Interview On Farrah Fawcett's Battle With Cancer
Posted on 12. May, 2009 by CSS.
Ryan O’Neal is opening up about his longtime companion Farrah Fawcett’s battle with cancer in a new interview airing on The TODAY Show this week.
In an interview with Meredith Vieira that is set to air on The TODAY Show on Wednesday, May 13 and Thursday, May 14, Ryan says of the courageous actress: “She’s the rock. She taught us all how to cope. She’s extraordinary. I don’t know what I’ll do without her, to tell you the truth.”
“I don’t think I can now. I know this, that in the last two years I loved her more than I’ve ever loved her — ever. She’s so much more of a woman and powerful, courageous, fearless and all those adjectives. And I look at her with awe.”
Ryan tells Meredith that he and Redmond, his son with the 62-year-old former Charlie’s Angels star, realized that her battle with cancer was taking its toll during a walk on the beach: “The first time I ever noticed, I walked with her and Redmond on the beach one day. We used to take that walk all the time to the rocks and back. And halfway there she stopped and said: Can we go back? And Red and I looked at each other and we knew that… See she could fool you because she always looked good. She looked really good. And he used to say to me: She’ll be all right. Look how nice she looks.”
NBC will air a documentary on Farrah’s battle with aggressive anal cancer, Farrah’s Story, this Friday night.
So sad!

Farrah Fawcett Condition "Critical"
Posted on 06. Apr, 2009 by CSS.
Cancer-stricken Charlie’s Angels star Farrah Fawcett is said to be in a “critical but stable condition” after being hospitalized in Los Angeles last Thursday.
The 62-year-old actress is battling intestinal cancer, which she was first diagnosed with in 2006. Her cancer went into remission, but returned in May 2007.
Farrah’s health has deteriorated since she returned from Germany, an source at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center-tells the Daily Record.
“On Farrah Fawcett’s behalf, I can confirm that she recently checked into a Los Angeles hospital,” the producer, Craig Nevius, says in a statement released to PEOPLE. “And although it is usually against her nature to correct false or exaggerated stories that originate in tabloid-style reports by offering true information that they would not otherwise have to publish, Farrah is allowing this statement out of appreciation for her fans, who have offered their constant support throughout her fight, as well as out of concern for the countless other cancer patients who have written her over the last two-and-a-half years in order to tell her that they are following her story in the hope that there is hope.”
Her longtime partner Ryan O’Neal, 67, is keeping a vigil at her bedside. The couple’s troubled son, Redmond O’Neal, 24, who had earlier joined his father at his mother’s bedside, was busted when he drove a friend to a detention facility in Santa Clarita, Calif., and guards found drugs on him at a checkpoint.
Farrah’s cancer struggle has been filmed for an upcoming NBC documentary, A Wing And A Prayer.

Farrah Fawcett Cancer Documentary "A Wing And A Prayer"
Posted on 02. Apr, 2009 by CSS.
Farrah Fawcett’s upcoming documentary, A Wing and A Prayer, which chronicles the star’s highly-publicized battle with anal cancer, will air on NBC later this year.
“NBC is as courageous as Farrah for airing the subject matter that she is filming in primetime,” Craig Nevius, the documentary’s producer, said in a statement released Thursday.
“Jeffrey Zucker and VP of Alternative Programming and Specials Doug Vaughan, [who are] overseeing the project, have shown nothing but an unwavering support for Farrah, that has remained, above all, human.” he added. “Her health and her message have remained their priority, instead of rushing the project to the air or grabbing at headlines. They have respected both her privacy and her creative voice. From the beginning, the network has insisted that ‘A Wing and A Prayer’ will air when both it and Farrah are ready.”
“I’m holding on to the hope that there is some reason I got cancer and that there is something, that may not be very clear to me right now, that I will do,” Farrah, who shot to fame as one of Charlie’s Angels in the classic television series, said during an interview shot for the documentary.
Farrah was first diagnosed with cancer in 2006. A specific airdate for the Burning Bed actress’ documentary has not yet been set.

Ryan O'Neal's Son Sentenced to Rehab Over Meth Bust.
Posted on 09. Oct, 2008 by CSS.
Ryan O’Neal’s son with Farrah Fawcett, Redmond O’Neal has been sentenced to a two week court ordered rehab program after violating his probation and being busted with Meth. This kid has struggled with drug addiction for years and he is so young(23)!! Do you honestly think making this kid go to a two week program is really going to turn it around at this point? He is fighting a meth addiction- i dont know what the law allows in these cases if someone does please let me know! I think his sentence to rehab should have been much much longer…Let’s face it two weeks in rehab is a JOKE.
What Redmond O’Neal called a “major misunderstanding” is starting to make a little more sense.
The 23-year-old son of Ryan O’Neal and Farrah Fawcett, who was arrested along with his dad last month on suspicion of methamphetamine possession, was ordered into a two-week treatment program Wednesday after admitting that he had relapsed.
“You’re a stand-up guy to come here and deal with your problem,” Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Scott Millington told Redmond, who also checked into rehab in 2004 to treat a heroin addiction. “I want you to stay clean…You better stay clean or the hammer is going to fall.”
An attorney for the O’Neals didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.
No criminal charges have been filed against either Redmond or his dad in connection with their Sept. 17 bust at the elder O’Neal’s Malibu home during a routine probation checkup. Officers allegedly found Redmond to be in possession of what looked like meth, as well as a small vial of the stuff in his father’s bedroom.
At the time of their arrest, Redmond was about two months into a three-year probation sentence for DUI and possessing heroin and crystal meth.
Ryan O’Neal has maintained his innocence in the affair, his lawyer telling reporters that his client would no doubt be vindicated.
“Those were not Ryan’s drugs, he doesn’t use drugs, and has nothing to do with them,” attorney Mark Werksman said. “It’s a dangerous assumption for deputies to have arrested Ryan just because he was in proximity to the drugs.”
