Following the latest in a long, sad list of screwups, a Los Angeles judge has sentenced the drug-addled spawn of Ryan O'Neal and Farrah Fawcett to a fourth stint in rehab.
Clad in a jailhouse jumpsuit, the 24-year-old O'Neal, who was staring at three years in the clink for violating his probation from a January 2008 drug bust, begged for mercy from Superior Court Judge Scott Millington. O'Neal said he was embarassed by his relapse and April 5 arrest, in which he went to visit a friend at a county detention facility and was caught with heroin.
He said that his mom's recurrence of cancer, which has left her weighing a scary 86 pounds, has motivated him to kick his drug habit.
Should O'Neal mess up again, the judge warned that he wouldn't be so forgiving next time around, and O'Neal will go to prison.
