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.

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?!"

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