Actress Tatum O’Neal, age 44, was busted on Sunday on the Lower East Side, trying to buy crack and cocaine.

“When the police approached, she asked them, ‘You know who I am, right?’ ” one source said.

“Then she said, ‘I’m researching a part – I’m doing this for a part as a junkie.’ ”

The source said detectives found a pipe on O’Neal, daughter of actor Ryan O’Neal. The pipe and screen were clean.

“Then she said she’d been clean for two years, and that she’d just came out today,” the source said.

“Can’t we just forget about this?” sources said she begged the detectives.

Uh, Tatum? Researching a role as a junkie? Hasn’t, like, your entire life been that research?

Tatum was booked on charges of criminal possession of a controlled substance and is expected to spend the night in jail.

Aren’t you getting a little old for this shit, Taters?

  • The whole O’Neal clan are just insane, not one normal one. While sad, I guess all the things that were said about her are true, and that McEnroe was right to take away her kids, and let her have limited contact with them. This is the kind of thing you can get help for, and stop. Now she’s just an embarrassing middle aged junkie who’s children are crushed.

  • Like Donkey Punch said, Paper Moon was a great movie and she was the reason why…child star syndrome

  • Wow, I shouldn’t type when tired. I make so many mistakes.

    I meant to say “SHE was so fantastic…”.

  • BAAAHAAA researching a role!!!!!!!! Come on now, get a pill habit already and stay off the streets of the lower east side.

  • Paper Moon was great, seems like she ought to be older than 44…how f*cked up do you think it was growing up in the O’Neal clan? Dysfunction Junction.

  • I think it makes her even hotter! If she’s still up for crack, what else is she up for?

  • Maybe she’s hoping to get a spot on the next Celebrity Rehab. I don’t think it’s started filming yet, so why not?

  • according to her, her dad was getting her drunk at age 12…i remember seeing her in national velvet and little darlings and thinking she ate the screen up. indeed a waste!

  • I hear you Donkey Punch. She is so pretty and she was great on Criminal Intent. Drugs have cost her so much, even a chance to parent her own children.
    Shame, the Heath Ledger tragedy has changed nothing.
