Is there some slimiest dude in Hollywood award that we’re unaware of? Ryan O’Neal seems to be competing for it. On Piers Morgan Tonight, he suggested that his conflict with daughter Tatum O’Neal may have given Farrah Fawcett anal cancer. “What bothers me the most is that there was turmoil during my love affair with Farrah,” Ryan said. “A lot of it caused by my family, by my kids. All of them. Particularly Tatum. I just think that if she had never met us, would she still be alive today? Because nobody knows what causes cancer, do they really?” Oh wait, this explains it: Ryan and Tatum’s OWN reality show premiered on Sunday. [CNN, NYDN]
