Farrah Fawcett’s funeral is taking place at the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels in L.A. today.

Her son Redmond, 24, will be allowed to attend thanks to a Superior Court judge allowing him to do so. He will be able to wear plain clothes, but will be escorted by sheriff’s deputies. He is currently serving time for drug related charges. Afterwards he will head back to the clink.

Farrah died last Thursday after a long battle with anal cancer. She was 62.

I wonder if Ryan will show up to the funeral all geeked out. This guy reminds me of Joe Jackson a little bit – just more subtle. Probably because he’s an actor. Didn’t he treat Farrah like hell and get her all into coke? Oh yeah, and his son Redmond might be serving time, but from what I remember Ryan was busted with a little crystal meth at the same time his son was.

Maybe after Ryan realized Farrah was terminal he felt bad for the way he had treated her his whole life. But then again, maybe he also saw it as an opportunity, an opportunity to finance HIS drug habit.  I’m not sure which, but I don’t trust this guy.

Regardless of what the Baby Huey blogger (and those copying his story) are telling you, Farrah Fawcett’s condition has NOT worsened.

Farrah’s son Redmond was released from prison so he could spend some time with his mother, but not because she is taking a turn for the worse!

He was temporarily released because his father’s birthday was on Monday. Farrah threw a bash for Ryan O’Neal Monday night, so trust, she is NOT gravely ill as the fat boy blogger’s staff has reported. Sad thing is, now all the “follower” blogs are reporting the same thing. It’s not true!

Just thought I would clarify that..

Redmond has since returned to jail.

Redmond O’Neal faced a judge this morning and asked for leniency after violating his probation by testing positive for heroin and being in possession of the drug at a rehab treatment center.

Redmond milked the fact that his mother was sick, telling the courts his mother weighs a shocking 86 pounds and pleading that he wants to be there for her. “I want to be there for my mom. My mom only weighs 86 pounds right now and I’m sorry your honor.”

That’s funny. Suddenly he wants to be there for his ailing mother, but what about him being arrested a couple weeks ago at a jail facility in possession of heroin AGAIN? His mother was ill that day too, but his priority was to smuggle H into jail for a junkie friend.

Surprisingly, the judge gave Redmond one more chance. But he warned Redmond, if he screws up one more time he will do hard time.

Judge Scott Wellington threatened, “If I see you back in that chair, it won’t be pretty. If you fail in the drug program, I will sentence you to state prison for over three years.You need to know you have a serious problem. Get your act together. My role is changing now, you need to understand that.  We are going to be placing you in a more stringent program than Clearview was.”

Wellington ordered O’Neal to remain in custody until at least April 30th when he will be sentenced to a rehabilitation center. Redmond will face another judge on April 24th for the jail incident.

How sad and devastating for Farrah. Any dying mother would only wish to be surrounded by her loved ones during her last days. Redmond has deprived his mother of that. I just don’t see this kid straightening up. Unfortunately I have a feeling that three year sentence will come about some time in the near future..

After being caught in a jail parking lot with heroin, Redmond O’Neal was formally charged today.

The son of actor Ryan O’Neal and actress Farrah Fawcett, Redmond, was on his way to visit an incarcerated friend when he was stopped for a random security search. He admitted to having the drugs and was arrested immediately.

It has been speculated that he was attempting to sneak the drugs in to his friend.

His arraignment, originally scheduled for today, has been postponed until April 24th. He is still in custody and his bail has been set at $75,000. Prosecutors had recommended his bail be set at $50,000.

Redmond, 24, is currently serving a three-year probation for his 2008 DUI/drug charges.
