Tatum, now 27, had been living with O'Neal since she was a child and her parents divorced. RYAN O'NEAL Lv7 "I had to make a choice between Tatum and this girl and I chose Farrah," O'Neal, 49, said in the February issue of Vanity Fair. "Tatum made me choose.

I said, 'That's a bad idea. I sleep with this girl, Tatum, I don't sleep with O'Neal, who with Fawcett stars in a new TV series, "Good Sports," said of his daughter: "I picked her up and I made her a movie star and an Academy Award winner and rich. And I loved her, too. And I never violated her or any of the possibilities. I took care of her.

And then I finally found someone who was dear to me, and she couldn't have it, she couldn't deal with it." But O'Neal had some kind words for his daughter, who has two children with her husband, tennis star John McEnroe. "I miss her," he said.

The Orbison classic depicts a pretty woman, "the kind I'd like to meet," while the rap version of the same name is about a "big, hairy, bald-headed, 'two-timin' woman" who "becomes akin to Cousin Itt, the ugly, bit character featured on the TV series 'The Addams Wiseman ruled Monday. Acuff-Rose had charged that 2 Live Crew's "Pretty Woman" hurts the value of the original.
