Ryan O'Neal, son Redmond charged with felony drug possession

Father, 67, and son, 23, each face the same count involving methamphetamine. Redmond is also charged with two misdemeanors: possession of drug paraphernalia and illegal possession of pepper spray.
------------
Prosecutors charged actor Ryan O'Neal and his son Redmond today with felony drug possession.

The O'Neals were arrested Sept. 17 after Los Angeles County sheriff's deputies conducting a probation search at the 67-year-old actor's Malibu home said they found methamphetamine on Redmond O'Neal, 23, and in his father's bedroom.

The search was related to a case involving Redmond O'Neal, 23, who was on probation after his guilty plea in June for felony drug possession and misdemeanor driving under the influence.

Ryan O'Neal, who was nominated for an Oscar for the 1970 movie "Love Story," is charged with one felony count of possession of methamphetamine. The son faces the same felony count and two misdemeanors: possession of drug paraphernalia and illegal possession of pepper spray.

Redmond, whose mother is actress Farrah Fawcett, was arrested last year on charges related to carrying heroin and crystal meth while driving under the influence in Malibu. He pleaded not guilty to drug possession and one misdemeanor DUI charge as part of a deal intended to help him avoid jail. He was sentenced to three years' probation and $1,688 in fines for the DUI charge. In another case from 2005, Redmond O'Neal was placed on probation stemming from an arrest on suspicion of methamphetamine and cocaine possession.

Ryan O'Neal was arrested last year on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon and negligent discharge of a firearm after firing a gunshot during an argument with another son, Griffin O'Neal. The actor told authorities that Griffin, 43, had picked up a fireplace poker and started swinging it. Griffin grazed him four or five times and "aimed at my head, I ducked, he hit his own girlfriend in the head," Ryan O'Neal said at the time. The actor said he fired a warning shot intended to scare his son. Both defendants are scheduled to be arraigned Nov. 13 in Malibu.Father, 67, and son, 23, each face the same count involving methamphetamine. Redmond is also charged with two misdemeanors:... more

Woody, Larry: It works fine

It's a match made in misanthrope heaven: Larry David, the cringe-inducing crank of HBO's Curb Your Enthusiasm, and Woody Allen, the existentialist worrywart with the catalog of one-liners about love, death, and hypochondria.

Whatever Works, directed by Allen from a script he's had in his desk since Annie Hall days, and starring David as the surrogate Woody, is easily one of the loosest, most satisfying comedies to hail from the prolific writer/director in a while.

Sure, you could argue that Whatever Works' themes of self-contempt and societal loathing, neurotic longing, romantic betrayal, and fear of the Great Void are old hat.

But it's a hat that fits Allen's new protagonist handily. David is Boris Yellnikoff, a brilliant (or so he says) physicist, divorced from his wife, no longer teaching at Columbia, and making a paltry living tutoring chess to pipsqueaks (and berating them mercilessly). He walks with a limp - souvenir of a failed suicide - and lives in a walk-up on Manhattan's Lower East Side.

In fact, here's something new for Allen: Returning to hometown New York after exploring England and Spain in his latest films, he's tumbled on virgin territory - Chinatown duck shops, cheap Italian cafes, East Village flea markets. Boris even has a line about how he once lived in the tony Beekman Place neighborhood. This is an altogether funkier, more diverse, colorful view of the city. It's as if, having discovered the urban pleasures of London and Barcelona, Allen is seeing Manhattan with fresh eyes.

So, the tale? It, too, takes off from familiar precincts: A much younger woman - a kid, really - enters the picture, befriending and beguiling the much older man. Melodie St. Ann Celestine is her name, a baton-twirling runaway from the Deep South who shows up on Boris' block. She's broke, she's alone, she's a cultural ignoramus - so, of course, Boris takes her in.

"Imbecile child, brainless inchworm," he grumbles at her, telling his buddies that even a Pygmalion makeover wouldn't work on this Mississippi Eliza Doolittle. (She's like "a character out of Faulkner, not unlike Benji," Boris snarks.) Evan Rachel Wood displays delightful comic chops as Melodie - walking that fine line between dumb blond parody and an authentic bumpkin with keen instincts and a good heart. Wood's not quite as screwball as Judy Holliday's Billie in Born Yesterday, but the two are kindred spirits.

Speaking of screwball, though, midway through Whatever Works Patricia Clarkson walks through the door - like a star making her big entrance in a Broadway play - and just about steals things out from under David, Wood, everyone. Clarkson is Melodie's mother, Marietta, come in search of her child. A Southern-fried fundamentalist, Marietta undergoes a radical transformation as she sets about exploring New York, taking in the interesting galleries and boites - and the interesting men, Boris' bohemian chums.

It's to David's credit that Whatever Works bops along with such energy. The actor brings a sort of barbarous glee to the proceedings that Allen - when he casts himself as the lead, deploying those habitual stammering rhythms - could not muster.

And Allen and David do stuff in Whatever Works that shouldn't work but does: Boris turns to the camera and addresses us, the audience, breaking that fourth wall with cynical commentary, snide asides and insults, even. The players on screen catch Boris as he's talking to some imaginary throng and wonder what the heck is going on.

They're still in the reality of the Whatever Works world, the whimsical reality of a successful Woody Allen enterprise.It's a match made in misanthrope heaven: Larry David, the cringe-inducing crank of HBO's Curb Your Enthusiasm, and Woody... more
