Now that Farrah Fawcett's gone, don't worry about who's looking out for her problem child, Redmond—the incarcerated celeb offspring is more than being taken care of by California. According to O'Neal's lawyer Richard Pintal, Red's receiving "excellent" care while in the slammer, and is undergoing an addiction treatment rehabilitation program that's "the best in the world."

Whew, what a relief!

I was so worried this spoiled brat might not actually like jail. Jeez, could California possibly bend over any more? Like just any drug-abusing bum off the street convicted of heroin possession would have gotten the same "great treatment" O'Neal's getting there on a silver platter. Makes me puke.

And what pisses me off even more than gloating about this "excellent" care of Redmond is the perverse timing. Way to wise up now, Redmond—wait for your mother to croak before you clean up your act. You knew it was the one thing she wanted most while she was alive, and you've denied her a chance to see her only son sober up. What were you doing in your cell all that time while your poor mom was wasting away in the hospital? Writing letters to fans a la Paris?

Truly reprehensible.

Let's hope Redmond works on cleaning his conscience in there along with his addiction.
