It's love that means never having to say you're sorry—not drug busts.

Ryan O'Neal, 67, and his son Redmond, 23, were charged with felony drug possession Wednesday stemming from their Sept. 17 arrest at the elder O'Neal's Malibu home.

During what was characterized as a routine probation checkup related to Redmond's previous drug-related offenses, police allegedly found the young man to be in possession of what was later confirmed to be methamphetamine. Officers also allegedly uncovered a vial of the stuff in Ryan's bedroom.

Each O'Neal is facing one count of felony possession of a controlled substance, as well as two misdemeanor counts of possession of drug paraphernalia and one count of illegal possession of pepper spray.

Things got really real for Khloe Kardashian today.

The Keeping Up With the Kardashians sister made a field trip to the Los Angeles County Morgue Wednesday, an unpleasant sojourn fellow Hollywood fixtures such as Lindsay Lohan and Barron Hilton were forced to make following their DUI arrests, as well.

Kardashian, who pleaded no contest to DUI in 2007 and received 36 months' probation in August, spent several hours at the facility—two weeks after a judge warned her to get a move on.

After she provided proof during an Oct. 1 hearing that all she had left of her court-ordered penance was to visit the morgue, a judge gave the 24-year-old until Nov. 17 to wrap it up.

And Kardashian knew that the judge was serious: Kim's little sis was sentenced to 30 days in jail in July for failing to complete the terms of her probation in a timely manner. She ultimately served just under five hours.

This probably isn't the type of strike Gary Coleman was hoping for.

The former Diff'rent Strokes star pleaded not guilty Tuesday to misdemeanor charges of reckless driving and disorderly conduct stemming from his Sept. 7 run-in with a fellow patron at a Payson, Utah, bowling alley.

Coleman, 40, is accused of picking a fight with—and then trying to run over—24-year-old Colton Rushton after the younger man tried to snap pictures of the actor and his on-off wife Shannon Price with his cell phone.

The Florida twins who are angling for a permanent spot in Hugh Hefner's boudoir, if not his heart, apparently have justification for their busts. Their other busts, that is.

While word broke just yesterday that 19-year-old bunnies-in-the-making Karissa and Kristina Shannon were recently on probation in Florida for aggravated battery, according to a police report obtained by E! News, the arrests only came about as a result of self-defense. (View the police report.)

Per the document, Karissa told St. Petersburg police that a coworker's boyfriend, named Ben, physically attacked her twin while they were partying at their coworker's apartment Jan. 10.

Hugh Hefner's new gal-pals aren't quite as innocent as they look. Um, anyway?

Florida police records show that 19-year-old twins Karissa and Kristina Shannon, who appear to be seeking permanent quarters in the Playboy Mansion, are currently on probation for a battery bust in St. Petersberg.

The sisters were arrested in the early morning hours of Jan. 10 and booked on suspicion of felony aggravated battery, per arrest reports obtained by E! News. They were released from custody after posting $10,000 bonds and were later given probation and ordered to pay restitution for the incident, the details of which have not been determined just yet.

Prior to that run-in with the law, Karissa Shannon was arrested on suspicion of misdemeanor battery last November.

No further information about their dual arrests was available, but their records do indicate that the blonde, blue-eyed twins aren't exactly identical.

Nick Hogan gets out of jail Oct. 21. Apparently mother Linda was in a rush to visit him before he gets his walking papers.

The reality-TV matriarch and estranged wife of the Hulkster was cited for speeding in Florida while en route to visit her son in the clink.

"She received a traffic ticket," Pinellas County Sheriff Department Sgt. Jim Bordner tells E! News, adding that, despite some earlier reports, "she was not arrested."

Hogan was pulled over on Tampa's Bayside Bridge at about 2:52 p.m. ET Friday after her white Escalade was clocked at 71 mph in a 55 mph zone.

"After stopping the car, [the deputy] identified the driver as Linda Bollea [Hogan's legal name]," says Bordner. "The deputy said she was cooperative and told him that she was on her way to visit her son."

Hogan now must decide whether to fight the $206 citation. Her options, per Bordner: "She can pay the ticket, go to court or go to driver improvement school."

Has someone been waltzing away with the government's money?

Hélio Castroneves, the former Indy 500 racing champ who won the fifth season of ABC's Dancing With the Stars, is in a heap of trouble today after the feds obtained an indictment against him for failing to pay millions in taxes from 1999 to 2004.

The Brazilian-born Castroneves, 33, along with his sister, Katiucia, 35, and his Ohio-based lawyer, Alan Miller, 71, face conspiracy and tax-evasion charges for hatching a tax-dodging scheme using an offshore shell corporation based in Panama to hide upwards of $5.5 million from the Internal Revenue Service. (View the indictment.)

And with the current financial crisis, you had to figure the feds were going to come calling.

Former America's Next Top Model contestant Bianca Golden just broke her silence on the airport scuffle that resulted in her mother's hospitalization and the arrest of Nikki Blonsky, but the Hairspray star isn't joining in on the disclosure circuit just yet.

"Since this is a pending legal issue, she's been advised by her lawyer not to comment," Blonsky publicist Teal Cannaday tells E! News.

Golden, meanwhile, appears to have received no such advising and took her side of the story to her former TV mentor, opening up about the July 29 Caribbean smackdown on The Tyra Banks Show.
