With a first name of Italian origin meaning "light of God" and a middle name as a tribute to her paternal grandmother, who died on the Fourth of July, Lucia Rose Mariano arrived weighing 6 lbs., 11.5 oz. and measuring 19 1/4-in. long. "Both mom and baby are healthy and doing great," says Rob.

"Lucia is a great eater and sleeps a lot, however she tends to be a bit of a night owl like her daddy at times," he adds. "She is a perfect baby and we could not have asked for anything more. We are over the moon with happiness at her arrival!"

Pretty sad, really..


Vanity Fair article

O'Neal Reflects on Life With Farrah
PopEater

Vanity Fair: Speaking out publicly for the first time since the passing of his longtime partner Farrah Fawcett, Ryan O'Neal tells Vanity Fair contributing editor Leslie Bennetts that he wishes he could "do it over," changing how he treated the late actress.

"I would have been much kinder, more understanding, more mature. I'd lose some of the savagery. I don't know how she got cancer; maybe some of it was me," O'Neal says in the revealing Vanity Fair interview (on newsstands Aug. 5).
Of his often tumultuous relationship with Fawcett, O'Neal says that during their worst split Farrah "was going through some kind of change. I didn't have a change of life; I was always a jerk." He then says that "they're hard work, these divas," referring to Farrah's sex symbol status. "I was sick of it, and I was unappreciated."

Still, the two managed to reconnect in 2001 when O'Neal was diagnosed with chronic myelogenous leukemia. "I talked to her every day. We pulled apart, but we never popped loose," O'Neal said of the couple's time away from each other.
During Fawcett's final days, O'Neal claims that she asked him to stop taking his medication so that they could die together. When Fawcett asked Ryan if she was going to live, O'Neal says he told her "Sure, baby -- and if you don't, I'll go with you." Fawcett then said to him: "Stop the Gleevec."

Much of the tension between the couple stemmed from personality clashes as well as their son, Redmond. O'Neal claims they "started fighting about Redmond by the time he was three."
After a long battle with cancer, Farrah Fawcett has died at the age of 62. Her longtime partner Ryan O'Neal was by her side when she passed away.

The 'Charlie's Angel' star was diagnosed back in 2006. She filmed a documentary about her struggle with the disease called 'Farrah's Story.'

Fawcett has said of her cancer battle: "It's much easier to go through something and deal with it without being under a microscope. It was stressful. I was terrified of getting the chemo. It's not pleasant. And the radiation is not pleasant."

Fawcett is best known for playing Jill Munroe in the series 'Charlie's Angels' back in the 1970s. Her undeniable sex appeal helped make the show a gigantic hit and established the actress as the top pin-up model for millions of men (and adolescent boys).

It quickly became clear who the top Angel was on the show when it premiered in 1976, though Jaclyn Smith, left, and Kate Jackson were no slouches themselves. Fawcett left the show after only one season, but came back sporadically in later years. She was replaced by the also saucy Cheryl Ladd. The show ran until 1981.

Fawcett has always had an idea as to why the show was such a success with viewers. "When the show was number three, I figured it was our acting," she has said about ratings. "When it got to be number one, I decided it could only be because none of us wears a bra."

The Texas native began doing shampoo commercials and TV guest spots in the early 1970s and eventually caught the eye of producers who cast the unknown beauty in 'Angels.' Her tousled and feathered hair style was "The Rachel" of its time and has been copied by generations.

Still, Griffin O'Neal -- Ryan's son with another woman -- claims that O'Neal's motives may not be as heartfelt as he makes them out to be. Griffin told Bennetts that Ryan's "only goal was to make sure he would be in the will. It was so disgustingly transparent as soon as he found out she was terminal. I consider him a vulture presiding over a carcass."

When told of Griffin's comments, Ryan shoots down the claims he's in it for the money. "I hate him! He knows I have money. I made a tremendous amount of money on real estate, more than I deserve," O'Neal says.
Another interesting tale from the Vanity Fair article stems from Fawcett's funeral, where O'Neal claims he mistakenly hit on his own daughter, Tatum. "I had just put the casket in the hearse and was watching it drive away when a beautiful blonde woman comes up and embraces me. I said to her, 'You have a drink on you? You have a car?' She said, 'Daddy, it's me-Tatum!' I was just trying to be funny with a strange Swedish woman, and it's my daughter. It's so sick."

Tatum herself acknowledges the incident, saying "that's our relationship in a nutshell..... You make of it what you will ... he was always a ladies' man, a bon vivant."

Well, I'll bet we'll hear about Ryan O'Neal being in rehab soon enough.

I'm happy to hear that Rob and Amber became parents! Imagine that, they kept themselves out of the media! Good for them!

You know, on the day of Farrah's funeral, I remember seeing a picture of him kissing a woman in the back of a limo (it wasn't Tatum nor did it look like a platonic peck for sure!). Then, on one of the E Tonight or similar shows, there was a brief blip about him being spotted having dinner with an "unknown blonde" later that night. At the time I remember wondering why it was brushed off so easily, and then I dont remember it ever being mention on here or any other board, so I thought it was just blown over due to the Michael Jackson blitz . Did anyone else see that on the footage shown of the day of her funeral and think anything of it? (if you can remember that far back that is)

Good for Rob and Amber. I've always liked them and am glad they seem to be happy.

Okay, I don't feel so bad now because when Ryan ONeal first talked of marrying Farrah again, right before she died, my first thought was "he's trying to get her money".

Sounds like a very odd, unhealthy set of family relationships.

NEW YORK – Law enforcement officials say the son of Oscar-winning actor Michael Douglas has been arrested on a drug charge at an upscale New York City hotel.

Two people familiar with the investigation say 30-year-old Cameron Douglas was arrested July 28 on a methamphetamine-dealing charge at the Hotel Gansevoort (GANZ'-uh-vawt) in Manhattan. They spoke Monday on condition of anonymity because the investigation is ongoing.

Cameron Douglas has acted in movies including 2003's "It Runs in the Family," starring his father and grandfather Kirk Douglas.

He also was arrested in California in 2007 on cocaine possession charges. His attorney then said the arresting officer didn't do his job properly.

There's no telephone listing for him. It's unclear whether he has a new attorney.

Michael Douglas' publicist and agent haven't returned calls.

The hotel says it has no comment.

I thought the same thing that Ryan was in it for the money or the attention.

I read both of Tatum's books. Dysfunctional is only the tip of the iceberg. But, I'm glad that despite it all she seems to finally have overcome her early life. My best to the whole family for a better future.

He hates his own son and he hit on his daughter? Wow. Sick. I don't think Farrah wanted them to go together, maybe she just wanted him to GO.

I saw Griffin on Larry King and it was squirm-inducing uncomfortable, total bashfest and of course all Griffin's side of things. One more very unpleasant member of that family. He also said that Tatum is still fighting the addiction battle, but clains that he, Griffin is 7 years sober (but more years bitter, IMO) and that he is often in touch with Redmond. Don't know that is the healthiest thing for Redmond, but I guess you take your family where you get it.

I've read Tatum's books as well as John McEnroe's.

Of course Joanna, Tatum and Griffin's mother, was totally dysfunctional herself so not all about Ryan. And while the Vanity Fair article says "with another woman" which sort of makes it sound like Ryan cheated on Farrah and had this other child.. Ryan and Joanna WERE married and had the two kids and Joanna was not exactly Mrs. Mom and he wasn't much of a dad, either.

Griffin said that when he first met Farrah, she was so nice that he didn't trust her because his parents were not nice.

Griffen said that Farrah loved Ryan but didn't WANT to get married and that Ryan had spoken of physically moving her head to indicate yes becaue HE wanted to be married (for the money), but that didn't happen.

And Ryan.. shameful.. but Griffin was also shameful. (he said he has three children, one is 20, one is 15 and he now is married with a 2 year old. He made this mostly about himself, clearly revenge.

Larry King, also shameful.

i think i posted this before, but Griff used to have a coffee place on Sunset that I went to every now and then. He was a very nice guy, but also very frank. Tatum came in one day and played a waitress because someone had called in sick, etc. Redmond also showed up every now and then and...he scared the shit out of me. He struck me, frankly, as a sociopath.
