Farrah Fawcett would have celebrated her 66th birthday today.

The iconic actress and model with the famous megawatt smile died of cancer on June 25, 2009, with her partner Ryan O’Neal and her best friend Alana Stewart by her side.

“I still think about Farrah every day — she remains an inspiration to both myself and a lot of other people who knew her,” Stewart told Celebuzz exclusively.

Stewart, 67, who helps run The Farah Fawcett Foundation, misses her dear friend and the memorable birthday parties she used to host for her every year.

And she will talk to Fawcett’s longtime love O’Neal today about the woman who played such an important part in both their lives.

“I will speak with Ryan to reflect with him on Farrah. We both really miss not being able to celebrate her birthday with her,” revealed Stewart, who was married to rock legend Rod Stewart, with whom she has two children, Kimberly, 33, and Sean, 32, who happens to be dating much-older Beverly Hills housewife Adrienne Maloof, 51. She also has a son Ashley Hamilton, 38, with ex-husband, actor George Hamilton.

“Farrah used to love the birthday parties I would throw for her because she really liked to have fun and knew how to enjoy herself.”

And there are two things Stewart will never forget about her BFF.

“I miss her sense of fun and the conversations and companionship we shared. She was truly a great and loyal friend,” she added.

“Both Ryan and their son Redmond O’Neal are doing well just now and Farrah would be really happy about that. But the reality is that we all still really miss her.”

Both Stewart and O’Neal combined to produce Farrah’s Story over three years ago that documented the TV star’s brave battle with cancer — and was watched by nearly nine million viewers when it aired on NBC.

Stewart has continued to celebrate her friend’s life through The Farah Fawcett Foundation that has helped to fund much-needed work in the field of cancer research.

“The foundation is a living testimony to what a brave person Farrah Fawcett was and we are using that memory to continue the fight against the disease that took my friend and that has affected so many other millions of other people.”

Today, the Alex and Ani store at 150 Worth Avenue, Suite 119, in Palm Beach, Florida, will co-host a Charmed By Charity shopping event in Palm Beach to mark Fawcett’s birthday anniversary and to benefit The Farrah Fawcett Foundation.

Armani Beauty celebrity makeup artist Tim Quinn, a cancer survivor who had worked with Fawcett over the years, will co-host the event.

In honor of her birthday Feb. 2, what actress do you think would be perfect to portray TV icon Farrah Fawcett? Tell us below.

Ryan O’Neal has suffered a setback in his legal battle against the University of Texas and its lawsuit over ownership of an Andy Warhol portrait of the actor’s longtime lover, Farrah Fawcett.

In a judgment handed down on Wednesday and obtained by Celebuzz, Los Angeles Superior Court judge Maureen Duff-Lewis rejected the 71-year-old actor’s motion to dismiss the case and ordered the case to go to trial next month.

The university sued the actor in August 2011, claiming the portrait — said to be worth up to $30 million — belongs to the school because Fawcett agreed to have all her artwork donated, after her 2009 death at the age of 62, to her alma mater.

The judge ruled, “Triable disputed issues of fact exist as to who is the owner of the portrait and of the Warhol napkin; triable issues of facts as to whether there was consent, acquiescence and/or ratification by the University of Texas.”

In August, O’Neal fired back at the college in a sworn declaration and bid to have the case tossed before trial.

“I am shocked and appalled that the University of Texas has alleged that I [stole] the Warhol portrait, which was a gift from my good friend, the late Andy Warhol,” O’Neal said.

The portrait of the Charlie’s Angels star was spotted hanging above O’Neal’s bed inside his Malibu, Calif. home in an episode of his reality TV show, Ryan and Tatum: The O’Neals.

Warhol made two portraits of Fawcett in 1980. After her death one print was delivered to the Austin campus, but the other never materialized.

Sports Illustrated cover girl Kate Upton has done it again, managing to somehow step up her sexiness in a new swim shoot for Vogue Spain.

The July issue of the magazine dubbed the 20-year-old blonde beauty as “the new girlfriend of America” — and it’s clear the poses she struck were inspired by other famous American bikini-clad bodies.

Wearing a curve flaunting swimsuit, reminiscent of the late Farrah Fawcett, Upton smoldered in the aptly-named named editorial spread “Body Heat”.

While the swimwear model normally poses in teeny weeny bikinis, Vogue shyed away from her usual attire, instead preferring to put her in one pieces.

But don’t think Upton’s famous curves are hidden away: The voluptuous model was snapped wearing a selection of hot looks that feature everything from low cut tops, leather and even see-through one pieces.

Some of Upton’s other steamy moves made the model appear like she is ready to join the set of Baywatch, like other famous femme fatal Pamela Anderson.

The stunning images by photographer Miguel Reveriego have been released just days after Upton’s all-American GQ cover hit stands.

Posing in lingerie and red white and blue bikinis, the shoot was with famed photographer Terry Richardson, who also captured Upton’s now infamous Cat Daddy dance.

Attention, Father of the Year contenders; you might as well give it up now, because there’s no way you’re going to top Ryan O’Neal.

In the September issue of Vanity Fair, O’Neal admits that he hit on his own daughter, Tatum. The best part about it? He did so at the July funeral of his longtime companion, Farrah Fawcett.

“I had just put the casket in the hearse and I was watching it drive away when a beautiful blonde woman comes up and embraces me,” O’Neal recalls. “I said to her, ‘You have a drink on you? You have a car?’ She said, ‘Daddy, it’s me—Tatum!’ I was just trying to be funny with a strange Swedish woman, and it’s my daughter. It’s so sick.”

Wow. Suddenly, Hulk Hogan‘s hands-on relationship with his daughter Brooke looks like something out of a Norman Rockwell painting. We’d ask O’Neal what he’s been smoking, but we suspect we already know.

Farrah Fawcett, who died last Thursday at the age of 62 following a long battle with cancer, received a send-off filled with loved ones at the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels in Los Angeles on Tuesday, E! Online reports.

The funeral, which began at 4 p.m., was attended by her longtime beau Ryan O’Neal, Alana Stewart, her ex-husband Lee Majors, former Charlie’s Angels co-star Kate Jackson, novelist Jackie Collins and actress Joan Collins, among many others. 

O’Neal, who was scheduled to read the 23rd Psalm during the ceremony, was also one of the pall bearers.

Stewart and oncologist Dr. Lawrence Piro delivered eulogies.

Kim Kardashian wrote about her personal connection to Farrah Fawcett this morning on her official Web site after the icon passed away Thursday morning.

“I was so sad to hear that Farrah Fawcett passed away this morning. I’ve always been a big Charlie’s Angels fan. Three fashion-forward, gorgeous young women, with their faces made up, perfect hair and heels… yet always ready to fight a crime,” exclaimed Kim.

Sound familiar? To Kim it does.

“They always reminded me of Kourt, Khloe and myself,” said Kardashian, referring to her sisters.

After all, the girls are fashionistas who are able to battle any obstacle that comes their way.

Could this possibly kick off a new TV series with the famous trio fighting crime? Their mother Kris Jenner would fit the part of Charlie perfectly.

Kim added, “Farrah was such an icon, for so many reasons. She was beautiful, talented and most importantly, she was an incredibly strong woman. I admire her so much, and she will be missed. Rest in peace, Farrah.”

UPDATE: Farrah Fawcett‘s longtime companion, Ryan O’Neal, has issued a statement  about Fawcett’s passing.

“She’s gone. She now belongs to the ages,” O’Neal says. “She’s now with her mother and sister and her God. I loved her with all my heart. I will miss her so very, very much. She was in and out of consciousness. I talked to her all through the night. I told her how very much I loved her. She’s in a better place now.”

O’Neal adds that Fawcett received her last rites before passing.

Former Charlie’s Angels star Farrah Fawcett has passed away after a long battle with cancer, People magazine reports. She was 62.

Fawcett, who was admitted to the hospital this week, died at 9:28 a.m. on Thursday at St. John’s Health Center in Santa Monica, California.

Fawcett was first diagnosed with anal cancer in 2006, and during a hospital visit earlier this year, it was revealed that the cancer had spread to her liver. She is survived by her longtime boyfriend, actor Ryan O’Neal, and their 24-year-old son, Redmond O’Neal.

Former Charlie’s Angels actress Farrah Fawcett, who has been battling anal cancer since 2006, has been admitted to a Los Angeles hospital, Us Magazine reports.

Fawcett, 62—who became engaged to longtime beau Ryan O’Neal on Monday—was also hospitalized in April, when it was disclosed that the cancer had spread to her liver.

According to sources, Fawcett is “not doing well.”

A rep for the actress declined to reveal which hospital she had been admitted to, saying only, “We are not disclosing where she is at this time. She continues to be treated for her condition.”

Ryan O’Neal says that he and Farrah Fawcett are finally planning on tying the knot.

The couple has been together since 1980 and he has been by her side every step of the way since she has taken ill with cancer.

In a new interview with 20/20 airing Friday, O’Neal says that while she is “Fighting for her life, I’ve asked her to marry me, again, and she’s agreed.”

He went on, “I used to ask her to marry me all the time. But … it just got to be a joke, you know. We just joked about it.”

O’Neal still has his sense of humor. When asked what he will be wearing to the ceremony, he joked that he will be dressed “like a gigolo.” “You know? And a little thin mustache and slicked-back hair. I don’t know. We have fun, we tease about that.”

Congrats, guys!

Redmond O’Neal, the troubled son of actor Ryan O’Neal and cancer-stricken former Charlie’s Angels star Farrah Fawcett, was granted a little temporary freedom to visit his sick mother on Friday.

In Touch reports that O’Neal was allowed out of Twin Towers correctional facility on May 15—the same day that the Fawcett documentary Farrah’s Story aired—to pay a visit to her.

This is the second time he’s been allowed out spend time with his mother, who’s currently struggling with anal cancer—the first time was on April 25, during a visit that was recorded for the documentary itself.

It may also be the last time that the 25-year-old, who’s racked up numerous drug charges in the past couple of years, gets to see Fawcett. Ryan O’Neal reportedly told friends recently, “Farrah’s condition has gotten worse in the last couple of days.”

UPDATE: Apparently, Farrah Fawcett‘s medical situation is both worse and better than initially reported.

According to Us Magazine, Fawcett’s cancer has spread to her liver. The good news is, her condition is not as serious as initially believed.

Fawcett’s doctor, cancer specialist Dr. Lawrence Piro—reports that Fawcett had undergone a “minor procedure” in Germany that “led to a small amount of bleeding into a muscle in her abdominal wall.” Contrary to initial reports that Fawcett was unconscious, Piro notes, “She remains in good spirits with her usual sense of humor…If everything goes as we hope, we plan to discharge her later in the week.

Former Charlie’s Angels star Farrah Fawcett, who has been battling cancer on and off again since 2006, has been hospitalized and is in critical condition, according to Radar Online.

The 62-year-old actress, who recently returned from Germany, where she received experimental stem-cell treatment, checked into a Los Angeles-area hospital on Thursday and is said to be in critical but stable condition. According to sources, she is unconscious.

Fawcett’s long-time, on-and-off beau Ryan O’Neal and their son Redmond have been at the actress’ bedside.

Fawcett was first diagnosed with anal cancer in 2006. After radiation therapy, doctors declared that she was cancer-free in February 2007, but the illness returned that May.
