Ryan O'Neal gets that date with his daughter

His pickup line at Farrah Fawcett's funeral must have worked, for Ryan O'Neal is seen as a third of an attractive threesome with his recently-reconciled daughter Tatum and a "mystery blonde" at last night's premiere of The Runaways movie at the Arclight Cinerama Dome in Hollywood.

Farrah's "cancer buddy" writes about funeral

Brett Hudson, who was treated with Farrah Fawcett at German cancer clinics and whose documentary film project about alternative treatments has been dedicated to her memory, shares his thoughts about Farrah and her funeral yesterday at his popular blog page on The Klinik movie website.


Hudson writes:

"I went to say goodbye to my friend Farrah yesterday. Her funeral service was beautiful... It was strange for me in a way. Farrah and I were both fighting for our lives at the same time and she's not here anymore. When we were in Germany at The Klinik, I was only three months in to my disease-- a rookie, so to speak. Farrah had been battling her cancer for over a year. In our six-hour drive to Frankfurt, her strength, determination and fearlessness were an inspiration to me in fighting this hideous disease.

"Farrah said to me, 'Never, ever give up. Keep fighting'..."

Hudson, one of Tabloid Baby's pals from Frozen Pictures, was most embarrassingly misidentified in a Tabloid Baby post yesterday with a picture of actor Ernie Hudson, who was also at the services.

Farrah's funeral filmed for sequel

Camera crews filmed Farrah Fawcett's funeral in downtown Los Angeles this afternoon, apparently for the sequel to Ryan O'Neal's "Farrah's Story" television special that sadly had the same Hollywood ending as his "Love Story" movie forty years ago.

Tabloid Baby pal Brett Hudson (above, entering the cathedral), Farrah's "cancer buddy" when they both were treated at cancer clinics in Germany, met O'Neal at the reception following the services. O'Neal was overheard telling Hudson that he telling Hudson that he is "in the sequel" to Farrah's Story, and he recognized him from Farrah's original documentary journal that O'Neal took over and recut with NBC News after her health failed. Hudson was left on the cutting room floor.

O'Neal was heard telling Hudson that he is "in the sequel."

Hudson, of Frozen Pictures, is in production on a nonfiction film and documentary project about cancer, alternative treatments and the American medical system, called The Klinik. He announced last week that the project will be dedicated to Farrah and address the issues she wanted to hit in her own project.

** UPDATE: We've just realized that a staffer in the Tabloid Baby photo department erroneously substituted a photo of actor Ernie Hudson for Brett Hudson. Brett did attend Farrah's funeral. Read his thoughts on his blog at The Klinik website.
