Tatum O’Neal, 44, was recently arrested and charged with 7th degree criminal possession of a controlled substance. On Sunday, O’Neal was just a few blocks from her home in Manhattan, when she was caught buying cocaine. She was also caught with crack, cocaine, and a crack pipe when police searched her.

The Oscar-winning actress said that she was doing it as research for her upcoming movie role but eventually gave in and said that it was for her own use. According to witnesses, she was begging and crying to law enforcement and proclaiming that she has been sober for a while and just had a relapse. She has made it public in her book, “A Paper Life”, that she battled with addiction in the past.

O’Neal has to appear in court on July 28th.

It looks like a few celebs are moving out of Hollywood and going straight to Splitsville. One of those celebs is none other than the actor in the upcoming movie, “Burn After Reading”, George Clooney. It has been reported that he has broken up with his year or so long girlfriend, Sarah Larson. The couple met for the first time nearly four years ago at Vegas’ The Whiskey Bar. They then met again in 2007 and started dating.

When Clooney’s rep, Stan Rosenfield, was asked about the split he said “We do not comment on George’s personal life.” However, a source close to the couple say that Clooney is indeed back on the market. “He is relieved to be single again” says the source. And just this past weekend, he was seen vacationing in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico with a group of guy friends.

What makes this whole thing a little awkward is that Sarah Larson did a photoshoot and participated in an interview about Clooney in the June issue of Harper’s Bazaar. The magazine is on newsstands now.

Now, Mr. Clooney isn’t the only new resident of Splitsville…

It seems that actress Lindsay Lohan is always have some sort of problem. She is being sued by Masha Markova for stealing her mink coat back in January.

The two women were guests at a private party at 10ak nightclub in Manhattan, New York. Markova realized her coat was missing and later saw a photograph of Lohan wearing her $11,000 coat in OK! Magazine. She then contacted the club and complained about her coat being stolen by the “Mean Girls” actress. The coat was eventually returned to Markova but to her dismay, it reaked of “cigarettes and liquor”.

The lawyer for Markova, Merrill Cohen, says that Lohan’s actions were “intentional, oppressive and malicious and were carried out with reckless disregard”. The amount Markova is seeking for the damages has not yet been revealed.
