Cannes 2012: Confession of a Child of the Century – review
21 May 2012 9:50 AM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
Pete Doherty's performance as a philosophising dandy is as catastrophic as the rest of this insufferable film
There is a long and noble British tradition of musicians becoming absolutely godawful actors. Gary Kemp gave it his best shot; Sting outdid himself. Pete Doherty, however, breaks the mould. His performance as a shambling yet sensitive libertine (geddit?) in Sylvie Verheyde's adaptation of the Alfred de Musset novel is catastrophic. Still, that does mean it's tonally of a piece with the rest of the film.
Face as pasty as porridge, feathered Hoxton hairdo intact, Doherty plays an inexplicably minted dandy whose hobbies include super-intense philosophical debate and orgies. After he breaks up with Lily Cole, who has been playing footsie with a male friend (apparently more of a deal-breaker in a debauched society than you might imagine), he has a chance encounter with Charlotte Gainsbourg and a baby goat in a wood. »

Ryan O'Neal Concerned About Family Fallout From New Book
14 May 2012 3:18 AM, PDT | Cinemaretro.com | See recent CinemaRetro news »
Happier times for O"Neal: with long time love Farrah Fawcett.
Ryan O'Neal has a new book about his experiences during his lover Farrah Fawcett's final days. After spending decades trying to patch up contentious relationships with his three children, he sent them advance copies of the manuscript so they did not get blindsided by the stories he related. One son has not read it (he's in rehab) and the response from the other two offspring, including Tatum O'Neal, was decidedly unenthusiastic. O'Neal, who is battling stage 4 prostate cancer, says he is doing all he can to repair the long history of family feuds but is concerned he may have been too candid in the book regarding personal matters.

Bones Season Finale Preview: Brennan's In Danger as Pelant Strikes Again
This shortened season of Bones has been difficult, because I've been enjoying the addition of baby Christine and Booth and Brennan's new relationship so much that I'm not eager for it to end for the summer. But the finale is almost upon us. While many episodes this season have been light-hearted, the finale seems to be very dramatic.
Here's what we know about the episode: "Evil tech genius Christopher Pelant (guest star Andrew Leeds), a suspect in a previous case Brennan and Booth handled, is back in court on appeal. Knowing what he is capable of, Brennan and Booth inform the judge that he is a suspect in two murder cases. Then, Brennan and Booth are called to the scene of a new murder. After determining the victim is Brennan’s friend, who also is linked to Pelant, the »

Ryan O'Neal's Son Defends Father's Parenting Skills
9 May 2012 12:16 PM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Ryan O'Neal's son Patrick has jumped to his father's defence after the actor condemned his own parenting skills, insisting he's "proud" to call the Love Story star his dad.
The screen veteran has received much public backlash for his hands-off relationship with his kids as three of his four children - Tatum, Redmond and Griffin - have struggled with drug and legal issues over the last several years.
O'Neal recently opened up about his guilt and failure as a dad during an interview with U.S. breakfast show Today earlier this month, but his sports broadcaster son Patrick O'Neal disagrees - and has come forward in a bid to help repair his dad's public persona.
During an appearance on U.S. news show Access Hollywood on Wednesday, the 44 year old said, "I'm real proud of my family... I'm real proud to say that Ryan O'Neal is my father and I'm real proud of my childhood and growing up how I grew up. The perception of my father as a bad parent (is something)... I have to argue...
"I have never stepped forward (to talk about this), I am a pretty busy guy... (but) I'm not on the payroll of my father so I'm here on my own volition to support my father and tell him that I love him." »
Ryan O'Neal On His Children's Reaction To New Farrah Fawcett Book
8 May 2012 10:15 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Actor Ryan O'Neal relives his final days with Farrah Fawcett in his new book "Both of Us: My Life with Farrah" -- a book that he hopes and prays doesn't divide him from his once-estranged children.
"First of all, Redmond [Fawcett O'Neal] hasn’t read it because he can't," Ryan told me on the set of "New York Live." "He cannot deal with that yet about his mother, certainly not inside a rehab. Patrick read it and thought it was wonderful, but was a bit uncomfortable with how honest I was. Tatum read it and gave me a six-word text that said, 'Yeah it was okay, it's pretty good.' I wanted her to read it so we don't start fighting again. I said, 'We were getting along, and then you will read the book and I've lost you again.'"

Redmond O'Neal's Knife Threat Over Parents' Arguments
3 May 2012 1:06 AM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Ryan O'Neal and Farrah Fawcett were once shocked out of a fight after their young son Redmond threatened to stab himself through the heart.
The couple endured a tumultuous 30-year romance before the Charlie's Angels beauty passed away in 2009, and O'Neal admits his youngest son's troubles started at an early age when he witnessed their regular arguments.
The pair soon learned to keep their bust-ups away from their child's eyes after he wandered in to one altercation with a knife pointed at his chest when he was just six years old.
Speaking of his fiery relationship with Fawcett, O'Neal tells CNN's Piers Morgan, "She went into a bathroom and I punched the door and the door collapsed and hit her in the eye and I broke my hand. I was looking at her eye and she was getting ice for my hand, those kinds of things were horrible. And one time we were close to a fight and Redmond came into the room with knife and held it to his heart and said, 'If you don't stop I'll plunge it into myself.' It was awful, just awful.
"He was exposed to two people who loved each other very much and it confused him, this was not what he was used to. It was the decision he decided to take to stop us." »

Farrah Fawcett's Boyfriend: We Slept In Separate Beds
2 May 2012 9:12 AM, PDT | Aol TV. | See recent Aol TV. news »
The following is an excerpt from "Both Of Us: My Life With Farrah" [Crown, $26.00] in which fellow-actor and long-time beau Ryan O'Neal shares the secrets of his tumultuous romance with the "Charlie's Angels" starlet. Chapter 5, "Bad Sports," reveals a regretful rut in their relationship:
Writing a book is an emotional odyssey, sometimes exhilarating, other times deflating. Today I'm trapped in the latter, having to confront certain truths about Farrah. Writing about Good Sports in the previous chapter brought it back to me, this conversation Farrah and I had.
It was right after we had taped our last show. Farrah and I were vacationing in the Bahamas. We were having dinner at a highly recommended little restaurant on the water. A handsome couple was sitting across from us. And Farrah says to me, “I've been watching those people since we sat down. They don't even look at each other. Who has dinner and doesn't speak? »

Ryan O'Neal Battling More Than One Cancer
1 May 2012 6:36 PM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Ailing actor Ryan O'Neal has revealed he's battling more than one cancer - and he's ready to die if that's his destiny.
The Love Story star has delayed vital treatment on his grade two prostate cancer so he can promote his new memoir about his life with late girlfriend Farrah Fawcett - and he accepts the decision could prove costly to his health.
In a candid interview with U.S. news show Access Hollywood on Tuesday, O'Neal said, "The book cried out to be sold and so I decided to do that first and then I'll address my cancers... I feel fine."
Asked by host Billy Bush if he cares whether he lives or dies, O'Neal stated, "I don't, frankly. I've lived a nice long life."
But he does have a plan, adding, "Starting on May 10th I'm going to freeze my prostate."
And O'Neal revealed that his cancer woes aren't solely linked to his prostate.
Wearing a bandage on his nose, he explained, "I'm not done and I'm not that beaten down but... I have three cancers at the moment - on my face, in my prostate and I have chronic leukaemia, so I'm not so sure if I should get subscriptions to magazines for more than a year at a time." »

Ryan O'Neal: 'I Wasn't Trained For Fatherhood'
1 May 2012 2:56 PM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Veteran actor Ryan O'Neal considers himself a failure as a parent - because three of his four children have struggled with drug and legal issues for years.
The Love Story star is father to son Griffin and daughter Tatum from his first marriage to the late Joanna Cook Moore, while he is also dad to Patrick, with second wife Leigh Taylor-Young, and his youngest child Redmond, from his relationship with Farrah Fawcett.
Griffin, who was born in 1964, is currently serving a 16-month jail sentence for a charge of driving under the influence of drugs, while Redmond is battling substance abuse issues in court-ordered rehab, and Paper Moon actress Tatum, who has long struggled with drug addiction, sought professional help for the use of painkillers following surgery earlier this year.
O'Neal has endured a strained relationship with each of his kids over the years, and only reunited with Tatum in 2011 following years of estrangement.
The 71 year old, who has been diagnosed with prostate cancer, accepts that he could have done better as a dad - but he insists his kids can no longer blame him for their struggles as they are all grown-ups.
When asked whether he considers himself a bad father during an interview on U.S. breakfast show Today on Tuesday, he replied, "Looks like it, doesn't it? Sure looks like it. I suppose I was. I wasn't trained.
"(But) these are not children, anymore. Griffin is 45 (sic), Tatum is 49. Who's the other one? Oh yeah. Redmond is 27. At some point they have to take hold of their own existences." »

Ryan O'Neal on 'The View': Tatum O'Neal 'is happiest when I'm ill'
1 May 2012 12:35 PM, PDT | Pop2it | See recent Pop2it news »
Actor Ryan O'Neal is making the talk show rounds to promote his new book, "Both of Us: My Life With Farrah." On Tuesday (May 1), he stopped by both "Today" (read about it here) and "The View" to talk about his shortcomings and, once again, demonstrate his inability to be an adequate parent.
In the midst of a series of soft blows from "View" doyenne Barbara Walters, O'Neal admitted that he wasn't the best parent or the best partner to Fawcett, who died in 2009 after battling cancer for several years.
It was when he was asked about the current state of his relationship with daughter Tatum that O'Neal hit his interview low.
"Tatum is always happiest when I'm ill," says O'Neal, who was recently diagnosed with stage II prostate cancer and has been battling chronic myelogenous leukemia and skin cancer for some years. "Because she can mother me and take care of me. »
