LEIF GARRETT GAVE UP DRIVING, BUT NOT DRUGS

Teen idol Leif Garrett (above, photographed in the 1970’s with then girlfriend Nicollette Sheridan) was on top of the world until 1979. He was eighteen when he wrecked his car while high on drugs and paralyzed his best friend from the waist down. Since then he’s wrestled with drug problems but seems to have stayed away from cars because his past few drug arrests have happened at Metrolink stations. This week he was locked up for having heroin in his shoe and despite his down and out appearance, he DID manage to scrounge up the $10.000 bail. A perfect candidate for Celebrity Rehab.

Leif Garrett Shopping

LEIF GARRET SPLURGED IN THE 99 CENT STORE

Looking “down and out” former teen idol Leif Garrett was seen shopping at the 99 Cent Store in LA. Our informant told us he looked beat up – like he’d been punched in the nose again, had a bandana on his head, scraggly hair, and looked “homeless.” Garrett has a history of drug abuse and arrests. Despite his appearance, he had money to buy things, and walked out carrying “four or five bagsful of stuff.”

NICOLLETTE SHERIDAN:LITTLE DID SHE KNOW

Photo Credit: Buzz Photo

We just came across this vintage photo of teen idol Leif Garrett and his teenage girlfriend Nicollette Sheridan – it must be DECADES old. We just had to share it with you. Already gorgeous Nicollette looks way more interested in the camera than she does her boyfriend’s smooch. Who’d have guessed she’d end up a Desperate Housewife and he’d end up in rehab -or jail- or both.
