Leif Garrett: Guilty

Leif Garrett, who makes Robert Downey, Jr. look well adjusted, is back in jail after once again failing to stay off the smack. But, when you Feel the Need, what are you gonna do? Give In, apparently.

Former teen idol Leif Garrett, arrested earlier this year for possession of heroin, has been sent back to jail for 45 days after failing drug tests, prosecutors say.

Garrett, who had hits with I Was Made for Dancing and a remake of Surfin’ USA in the 1970s, was jailed again last week after a judge was notified of the positive drug tests, Los Angeles County District Attorney spokeswoman Jane Robison said. Robison said she did not know which substances Garrett, 44, tested positive for using. He was ordered back to court on May 11 for a progress report.

Garrett, whose good looks and floppy hair made teenage girls swoon in the 1970s, was arrested in January at a Los Angeles subway station for fare dodging and was found to be carrying heroin, Robison said.

I Can’t Explain why so many celebrities seem to go down the drain. Dude, Why’d You Have to Change on Me? You had better Memorize Your Number, though, because you don’t have a name in prison.
