Farrah Fawcett‘s son is said to be making good progress in his treatment for drug addiction.
Redmond O’Neal - son of late actress Farrah and her long-term partner Ryan O’Neal - was praised by judge Michael Tynan yesterday for his efforts to get clean.
The judge told Redmond, “I told you to turn it around, and it looks like you did.”
The 24-year-old actor replied, “I have been doing treatment for a while your honor. I want to do something different. I want to stay clean.”
Redmond - who has a history of drug problems and was arrested in September 2008 along with his father after authorities found methamphetamine at the actor’s Malibu home during a probation check on Redmond. The aspiring actor was then arrested in April this year for taking drugs into jail. He was bailed but then later jailed on separate charges. While in prison he was unable to comfort his dying mother, although he was allowed out to visit her once shortly before she passed away from cancer in June.
In accordance with his sentence he is presently in a residential treatment facility in Pasadena, California. Farrah left the bulk of her estate, $4.5 million, to Redmond.

Eminem says he felt like Bugs Bunny during his stint in rehab. The rapper, who just launched his latest album Relapse, admits his worldwide fame left him feeling like a cartoon character when he checked into rehab in 2005 to receive treatment for drug addiction.
Marshall Mathers told BBC Radio One, “When I landed myself in rehab in 2005 I felt like I wanted to reassess everything. I remember sitting in rehab thinking, ‘Is this what it comes to, really?’ So when I got out I knew I needed to pull back from the spotlight because of the fame thing. I was like Bugs Bunny in rehab, Bugs Bunny walking in the room. The second you walk in the room…There were some people who were as supportive as they could be, some people that were like, ‘I don’t look at you as Eminem. I’m seeing you as Marshall.’”
Eminem recently revealed he wanted to kill himself at the height of his problems. According to him, he just wasn’t taking care of himself, and at times wanted to just give up. “I was in a dark place. I wanted to pull back from the spotlight to reassess my whole career. I got sober but it was pretty rough. A couple of years were bad for me.”
Steven Tyler Changes Rehab Story
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music, Drugs,
Realizing people weren’t buying his ‘my feet really hurt’ story, Steven Tyler has chosen to give honesty a try.
Back in May, the Aerosmith singer tried convincing the media that he was away seeking recuperation, not rehabilitation. Tyler said he was simply wanted time alone to recover from some surgeries. “I really needed a safe environment to recuperate where I could shut off my phone and get back on my feet.”
Now the musician - who has battled addiction before - admits he was receiving help for much more. Steven told the Associated Press that his treatment was for the what came after his procedures. “To have your feet done, to have your leg done, you have to be on narcotics. You have to be on sleep aids at night. I don’t know about Joe [Perry, an Aerosmith bandmate], but I was off and running and I didn’t like the me that was me.”
See, Steven? Now was that so hard?
