Ryan O’Neal’s 24-year-old son, Redmond O’Neal, was arrested April 5 after allegedly trying to smuggle drugs into prison custody. O’Neal, who had been visiting an inmate at Pitchess Detention South Facility in Santa Clarita, was taken into custody and held on $25,000 bail. This is his second arrest in seven months: O’Neal was arrested and charged for drug possession in September after officials found methamphetamine in his father’s Malibu residence.

UPDATE: On Tuesday, O’Neal was charged with felony drug possession, Reuters reports.

Alex Da Silva, a Brazilian-born salsa dancer who has choreographed several numbers for Fox’s So You Think You Can Dance, was taken into police custody in L.A. Saturday for allegedly sexually assaulting four of his female students. The charge stems from four separate incidents: The choreographer was accused of sexual assault in 2003, 2004 and 2005, but prosecutors at the time opted not to file charges. But on March 28, police re-examined the previous accusations after another woman accused Da Silva of luring her into his home and raping her. ("These four women don’t know each other at all, yet their reports read basically the same," said one of the detectives on the case.) Da Silva is currently being held on $3.8 million bail, and will appear in court Tuesday.

People.com reports that Farrah Fawcett, 62, has been hospitalized in the Los Angeles area since Thursday. The Emmy-nominated actress was diagnosed with anal cancer in 2006. After undergoing aggressive treatment, her cancer went into remission, then returned in 2007.

Jade Goody was laid to rest today to the tune of the Beatles’ "Let it Be" in front of thousands of fans, who gathered 20 miles outside London to say goodbye to the UK reality star. The funeral for Goody—who died March 22 after losing her much-publicized year-long battle with cervical cancer—was held at St. John’s Church in Buckhurst Hill, Essex—where TV screens were set up to broadcast the service for Goody’s fans.

Goody’s husband, Jack Tweed, acted as one of six pallbearers at the service, and read a poem to his late wife. ("My life will never be the same without you by my side…grief almost too much to bear and difficult to hide.")

Goody’s legacy will continue, however. The reality star wrote a cancer diary dedicated to her sons, which will be published this spring. Her publicist, Max Clifford, told reporters: "It’s a sad day. She was just a young woman…She will save an awful lot of lives because of her stand on cervical cancer. That in itself will be Jade’s legacy. She hasn’t been here long, but she’s achieved an awful lot." 

A prank pulled by comedian Russell Brand and TV and radio personality Jonathan Ross that went awry last year has cost the BBC £150,000 ($222,000) in fines, the BBC reported today. Brand and Ross, who cohosted a radio show, phoned Fawlty Towers actor Andrew Sachs last October, leaving messages suggesting that Brand had sexual relations with Sachs’ granddaughter. In the ensuing scandal, Brand resigned from the radio show while Ross was suspended for three months. British media regulator Ofcom said the fines were the result of "the extraordinary nature and seriousness of the BBC’s failures" and the "resulting breaches" of its code.
