Redmond O'Neal, the son of actor Ryan O'Neal and late actress Farrah Fawcett, has been ordered to complete a rehab program after pleading no contest to felony possession of heroin and unlawful possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, charges that could have landed him back in jail.

The 26-year-old entered his plea at a Los Angeles court on Wednesday, August 24. Redmond O'Neal was detained near the city earlier this month for a suspected traffic violation. Authorities said they found heroin in his vehicle and after they executed a search warrant at his apartment, they also found a 9 mm semi-automatic handgun in his residence.

Ryan O'Neal is wondering if he and his children, including his daughter Tatum, helped spur his partner Farrah Fawcett's cancer, which ultimately led to her death two years ago.

The feather-haired blonde bombshell, known best for her role as a sexy detective on the hit 1970s show "Charlies Angels", died of anal cancer at age 62 on June 25, 2009 - the same day Michael Jackson, Tatum O'Neal's ex-boyfriend, died at age 50.

Farrah Fawcett's red swimsuit from her iconic 1976 poster will join the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History collection on Wednesday, on what would have been her 64th birthday, reports The Associated Press.

The suit was presented by Fawcett's longtime companion Ryan O'Neal. The actor says the former "Charlie's Angels" star always intended to give her suit to the museum. "They asked her years ago for the bathing suit," he told the wire service. "So it was always in her plan."
