As actress Farrah Fawcett lay in critical condition in a Los Angeles hospital yesterday, her 24-year-old son was busted for drugs at a jail where he was visiting a friend, authorities said. It was Redmond O'Neal's second drug bust in seven months, reports Entertainment Weekly. Police didn't say what drugs were found. His mom is in and out of  consciousness in a late stage of cancer, friends say. Redmond as well as his dad, Ryan O'Neal, have been at her bedside.
