Behold the Most Dysfunctional Celebrity Dynasties!
While sanity undoubtedly runs low in this town, some families certainly have more than others.
And after the whole Griffin O'Neal incident last week, we couldn't help but notice this very tragic family trend. From drug busts, to daddy issues, to depression, the craziness in H'wood only gets worse with these famous fams.
So, as we take a look back at the most dysfunctional dynasties, we're happy to report some have totally turned their luck around. Like Drew Barrymore and Angelina Jolie—both beautiful ladies totally beat the odds, and turned a run-in with dysfunction into a quest for success.
And while there are some still struggling to find their way in Hollyweird, we have faith they can get it together (LiLo, we're talking to you doll).
But hey, Team Truth has hope for all these dazzling dynasties…even if craziness does run in a family's genes.
So check out our gallery below, and let us know who you think packs the most dysfunction into the same family tree!
Teen Bride Courtney Stodden Slips Into Farrah Fawcett's Swimsuit
Courtney Stodden just loves trying celebrities on for size.
Doug Hutchison's 16-year-old bride, who earlier this week played Pamela Anderson in a Baywatch-inspired photo shoot, has apparently always gotten a kick out of taking so-called "rendition" photos of famous females she admires, according to Courtney's mom, Krista Keller.
Sure enough, when she was a wee young lass of 15, Courtney donned a different style of red bathing suit to mimic Farrah Fawcett's iconic swimsuit pic.
But Fawcett isn't the only late style icon who Stodden has paid homage to.
Have We Seen This Mug Shot Before? Rerun Redmond O'Neal Busted for Drugs
Redmond O'Neal was just about a week shy of marking the one-year anniversary of his graduation from rehab.
But, instead of celebrating sobriety and a fresh start, the troubled son of Ryan O'Neal and Farrah Fawcett is in trouble with the law once again.
The 26-year-old was arrested this morning on suspicion of felony possession of a controlled substance, possession of marijuana in a vehicle, probation violation and—to add insult to injury—a red-light violation after cops allegedly observed him turning left at a red arrow, pulled him over, searched his vehicle and turned up pot and heroin, the Santa Monica Police Department confirms to E! News.
Farrah Fawcett's Red Swimsuit Goes to Washington
The memory of Farrah Fawcett will live forever at the Smithsonian.
During a ceremony Tuesday in Washington D.C., the late actress's longtime love Ryan O'Neal and nephew Greg Walls donated the swimsuit Farrah wore in the classic '70s poster to the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History—along with a 1977-era doll of the star and scripts from Charlie's Angels, among other things.
"Farrah Fawcett has made an enduring impression on American popular culture," museum director Brent D. Glass said in a statement. "We are pleased to welcome this donation."
The items will be displayed in the Smithsonian's pop culture history collection, joining other items such as Dorothy's ruby slippers from The Wizard of Oz and Evel Knievel's Harley-Davidson.
Fawcett passed away in June 2009 at 62 after a long battle with cancer.
Friends and Family Honor Farrah Fawcett With Namesake Foundation
The legacy of Hollywood's fallen Angel lives on, thanks to Farrah Fawcett's loved ones.
Marking the one-year anniversary of her tragic death, Farrah's close friend Alana Stewart, longtime love Ryan O'Neal, Tatum O'Neal and son Redmond O'Neal paid tribute to the star by gathering at the brand-new Farrah Fawcett Foundation offices in Beverly Hills Friday.
Not unlike Fawcett's approach to her battle with anal cancer, the organization will fund alternative treatments for the disease. It will also focus on pediatric cancer and aid in research efforts.
Stewart says she hopes their foundation will shed light on her late friend's little-known illness and improve the overall quality of life for patients already fighting the good fight.

Tori Spelling Channels Farrah Fawcett's Spirit
Of all people, Farrah Fawcett chose Tori Spelling? Tori Spelling?!
That's according to the Tori & Dean star, who's opening up about a ghostly encounter with the late Charlie's Angel that prompted her to write a letter to Fawcett's former partner, actor Ryan O'Neal.
In an interview with Out Magazine to plug her new book, Uncharted TerriTori, Spelling spoke about a telephone reading she had with renowned TV psychic John Edward.
Five Celebs Who Had Farrah Fawcett's Bad Luck
A year ago, Farrah Fawcett's passing was the biggest entertainment news of the day. For about four hours.
It's nobody's fault our heads were turned by the sudden death of Michael Jackson. The truth is, these things happen. And they've happened to these star-crossed notables, too:
Stars Dying in Threes: What Are the Chances?
[Editor's Note: With the recent deaths of Gary Coleman and Dennis Hopper, we've been fielding numerous emails postulating who will "No. 3" be. Some are already counting Andrew Koppel as the third. With that in mind, we revisit this story from last summer.]
Every time celebrities die in threes, your humble media inform you that, no, actually, they don't.
If you won't listen to us, then maybe you'll listen to the celebrity death month generator.
In the wake of the passings of Ed McMahon, Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson, we tracked down two writers who ran the numbers on celebrities dying in threes.
And here's what they say...
Morning Piss: Justice, Hollywood-Style
Hollywood continues its long line of weirdo, apparently deranged legal maneuverings (OJ, multirehabbed Lindsay Lohan, anyone?) with the sentencing of Cameron Douglas.
Daddy Michael swept in at the final hour for a plea to Judge Richard Berman, stating how Cameron's problems were ultimately all the elder Douglas' fault, him being so famous and all. Cam, who doesn't seem man enough to take responsibility for his own actions, couldn't handle the pressure, it seems.
That's a pretty feeble excuse.
Drug addicts are drug addicts because we have a disease (I'm a recovering alcoholic and drug addict myself), not because of what our extenuating circumstances may be. And what's even more pathetic in this scenario is that Berman—whose salary we help pay—bought the damn doofus thinking!
It's poor little rich addict all over again:

Is it just us, or have far too many of these Week in Reviews lately been recounting tragic deaths of pretty young people we didn't know personally, but who nevertheless left a lasting impression on our young minds back in the 1980s?
This week, after the Oscars swept us away to a glamorous, Clooney-ruled world of red carpets, gorgeous gowns and a hilarious Hitler joke directed at Meryl Streep, we sadly paid tribute to one of the original Tiger Beat studs, Corey Haim...
