Oh, that flirty Ryan O'Neal

12.03.10

Talk about too much dope: Ryan O'Neal tells Vanity Fair in an interview excerpted by the Huffington Leg that he sorta tried to pick up his own daughter at the June 30 funeral of his long-title gf Farrah Fawcett .

"I had just put the casket in the hearse . . . when a beautiful blond female comes up and embraces me," Ryan, 68, says, adding that the gal interrupted him when he began flirting with her. "She said, 'Daddy, it's me - Tatum!' I was by a hair's breadth trying to be funny with a strange Swedish woman, and it's my daughter," Ryan says. "It's so airsick." (No comment.)

Tatum, who admits it had been a few years since she had last seen her pops, tells the mag, "You come to terms of it what you will. . . . He was always a ladies' man, a bon vivant."

Ryan says he regrets the way he treated Farrah and would delight to "do it over," if he could. "I would have been much kinder, more understanding. . . . I don't know how she got cancer; maybe some of it was me."
