Ryan O'Neal signs on to '90210'

[Brian Damage]

Hey, Brennan: I think I’ve figured out the real reason your pa keeps disappearing for long stretches on Bones: The bastard’s got a secret life in Beverly Hills!

Sources confirm to me exclusively that Ryan O’Neal is taking his well-honed dysfunctional daddy act over to 90210, where he’ll play the super-famous movie star father of Trevor Donovan’s Teddy.

O’Neal will appear in multiple episodes, the first of which will likely air in April.

90210 returns from its midseason hiatus on March 9.

I don't mean to speak ill of the recently departed, but this blind item that was allegedly attributed to Ryan O'Neal back in 2011, was recently brought to my attention:

This Blind Item has been burning a hole in my pocket during my two-month winter hibernation… er, career transition. A seasoned and extremely well-known actor who had a recurring role on a popular primetime soap was canned after several show staffers — both the on-camera kind and off — voiced complaints about the star’s unprofessional behavior while at work. Apparently, the onetime big-screen A-lister (who over the past decade carved a niche for himself on the small screen) was making inappropriate comments to a number of women. At the risk of having the situation escalate, producers abruptly wrote out the actor, which forced them to tweak a major crime story/mystery in which his character was revealed to be the culprit. Now word is, the bad boy has been forever banned from appearing on any of this network’s shows. So, who’s the blacklisted vet? Ryan O'Neal "90210"
