LOS ANGELES - Former teen idol Leif Garrett is hooked on heroin, his mom says - and she blames hard-partying rock 'n' roll legends like the Rolling Stones for steering her son toward drugs.

"Leif idolized rock stars ... that whole life of rock 'n' roll and drugs ... the Rolling Stones. He figured if they could do it, so could he," Garrett's distraught mother, Carolyn Stellar, told the Daily News yesterday.

LOL!! But they had such cute accents!


And were you a Ponch or Jon (CHiPs) girL?

I liked Jon.

[eyespysomething]

No, but I bet there was a lot of purple shades of paint sold for a few years!

Neither. I liked the dark haired dude on "Emergency".

Lavender...I'm requesting you be drummed out of Freeperdom...for admitting that....:-)

[Dog]

[Millee]

Adonis gallery!!! They all look like they're 12! Did Michael Jackson put this together??? LOLOL!! I'm crying here!

You know that bit about possum road kill appears to be literally true.

If you exhumed a human body that had been taking a dirt nap for a couple of years, put some clothes and a guitar on him, then propped him up on stage in Richards' place with the rest of the Stones, someone would probably come up and say "Hey, Keith! Been working out?!"

[PaulaB]

ewwww

isn't he dead yet?

[conservativebabe]

Who's the chic? Looks like a young Nicolette Sheridan. Am I right?

[Dog]

You better get over here fast ...our your house is going to be painted lavender....:-)

(If what I just wrote makes you sad or angry,

 it was probably sarcasm)

[eyespysomething]

Oooooo, me too!

When that was on TVLand for awhile, I used to be glued to it!

[PBRSTREETGANG]

You are correct. Nicollette lived with Leif in his mother's house for 6 years starting at 15.

[eyespysomething]

LOL!

[EX52D]

Randolph Mantooth?

[EX52D]

That is too funny...and they should be wearing their shirts...

[conservativebabe]

Whoa! How did that ever get by me? I read TigerBeat regularly!
