NO TALENT FOR EITHER MUSIC OR A LIFE OF DEBAUCHERY, IT TURNS OUT
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.

Now 44, pale and stick-thin, Garrett was busted Saturday when he allegedly tried to board an L.A. subway train without paying. Cops said they found heroin in his clothes when they searched him. It was his third heroin-related arrest since 2001, court records show.
