You know that saintly aura that seemed to spread over Ryan O'Neal as he stayed by Farrah Fawcett's side in the final weeks before she succumbed to cancer?

Well, he's pretty much just shot that all to heck.

In an interview with Vanity Fair coming out in its next edition, O'Neal reveals he actually hit on his daughter Tatum O'Neal during Fawcett's funeral and confessed to being a selfish, immature cad during his relationship with Fawcett in '90s, when he says he started sleeping with younger women because Fawcett was going through menopause and he felt neglected.

Recalling Fawcett's funeral, O'Neal says, "I had just put the casket in the hearse and I 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."

"That's our relationship in a nutshell," Tatum says when asked about the incident. "You make of it what you will. It had been a few years since we'd seen each other, and he was always a ladies' man, a bon vivant."

Well, I saw a pic of Tatum a day or so ago when I first heard about this, and she's kinda hot now.

Hey, that's pretty bad.

Would it not be worse if he *did* recognize her?

I'd think she was lying, aside from the fact that O'Neal seems to have admitted to the above himself.  btw, check this shit out:

In her autobiography, A Paper Life, O'Neal alleged that she had been molested by a male friend of her father. She also alleges physical and emotional abuse from her father, much of which she attributed to drug use. She also detailed her own heroin addiction and its effects on her relationship with her children. Her father, Ryan, denied these allegations.  In a prepared statement, Ryan O'Neal said: "It is a sad day when malicious lies are told in order to become a 'best-seller'."

O'Neal writes in her autobiography that when she was 13, her father took her and her friend Melanie Griffith (18 at the time) on a trip to Europe, where she caught him having sex with Griffith in their hotel room. She also claims that when her father left for a movie shoot, she smoked opium with Griffith and then invited a male hairdresser and his girlfriend to their hotel room where the four of them participated in an orgy into which Griffith had dragged her.

That explains why it was so popular when it was released.
