Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne made an announcement yesterday that tickets to this summer’s Ozzfest will be absolutely free. It is said that Alice in Chains will be just one of many bands to play the festival.

Keith Urban is suing an artist also by the name of Keith Urban, saying the the painter is using a site with his name to sell art.
Meanwhile all is good on the home front with the Keith and Nicole Kidman. The two are planning a romantic Valentine’s Day together.

Ryan O’Neal is claiming that it was his son Griffin who was the aggressor in their domestic dispute which ended with shots being fired. On the other hand it is Griffin’s attorneys who are saying that it was Ryan who in fact was to blame saying that he inflicted facial lacerations on the pregnant girlfriend of Griffin’s. But it gets even weirder. Ryan apparently is also saying the reason he went off on Griffin and the girlfriend was after returning home from celebrating his 60th birthday with Farrah Fawcett he found his son Redmond, 21, tied up in a dog run. Griffin reportedly tied up the younger brother who was high on PCP at the time.

Ryan O’Neal, 65, was arrested Saturday morning at his Malibu home after a fight with his son, Griffin, 42.

O’Neal was booked on charges of assault with a deadly weapon and negligent discharge of a firearm. He was released from jail at 5:30am and after posting $50,000 bail.

Police told TMZ.com that O’Neal fired at least one gunshot during the scuffle. A girlfriend of Griffin’s was reportedly hurt during the domestic dispute, but police failed to specify if it was due to a gunshot or not.

Griffin is apparently just as screwed up as his father. He has had multiple run ins with the law..

From TMZ:

“Griffin O’Neal, son of Ryan and Joanna Moore, is also no stranger to the law. The 42-year-old spent 18 days in jail for not performing the community service ordered by a judge who found him guilty of reckless boating in a 1986 accident that killed the son of film director Francis Ford Coppola.”

Griffin also has a history of substance abuse. He pleaded no contest to a drunken driving charge in 1989. In 1992, he agreed to spend one year in a live-in drug rehabilitation program after pleading no contest to charges he shot at his estranged girlfriend’s unoccupied car.”

So this looks like one big happy fucked up family.

I find it apalling that #1, a father pulled a gun in a fight with his son, and #2, that back in 1986 Griffin couldn’t even perform the community service requested of him for contributing to events that resulted in the death of a person. What a slap in the face to Francis Ford Coppola and family.
