That’s No Nude Actress, That’s Just My Mommy
Imagine being 12 years old and having Farrah Fawcett as your mother.
That’s what Redmond O’Neal is facing. Not only does the son of Fawcett and actor Ryan O’Neal have movie-star parents, but his mother does nude scenes.
But, according to the actress, he doesn’t seem to mind. After showing him the nude photos of her from the forthcoming movie “Farrah Fawcett: All of Me,” Fawcett quoted his response thusly: “But Mommy, why would I mind this? You have a beautiful body. It is beautiful and natural.”
Some of Redmond’s friends - “a small percentage,” Fawcett says - think she is “kind of cheap or vulgar.” But, she adds, “when I put them to bed at night and say, ‘I love you’ to Redmond, his other little friends go, ‘I love you, too, Farrah.”’

Somebody call Oliver Stone; we smell a conspiracy
Michael Moore is something of a seer. In his 1996 book “Downsize This!” Moore suggested that race had something to do with the public attitude toward O.J.

It makes a good topic for their nightly pillow talk
