Entertainer Leif Garrett appears in Los Angeles Superior Court for a hearing Jan. 20, 2006. Garrett was sentenced to 90 days in jail and three years' probation after opting out of a drug treatment program. The 44-year-old former teen idol was given credit Thursday, May 11, 2006, for the jail time he had already served since being taken into custody March 30 after a Superior Court commissioner determined he failed several drug tests while staying in a live-in drug diversion program.

    Can we say LOSER?! This idiot nearly peed his pants recently while on the 1st episode of Celebrity Bullriding Challenge on CMT. My kid could've done a better job & not been a wimpy about it. Crawl back into your drug ridden cardboard box Leif. The 70's are over! Never liked him as well as most of the other teen idols during that period of time anyway!!

      Ya, know...you are a real ass!  Just get over it.  If this is the best thing you have to say about a person and the most intelligent thing that you have to say, keep your mouth shut.  It's better off to keep your mouth shut and let everyone think that you are a stupid ass idiot, than to open your mouth and prove it!  What did you prove by saying something, so ignorant about someone that you don't even know?  You don't know this man.  You don't know what is going on inside of his head.  You don't know how he feels or why he may reacts to things in certain ways.  You are just a reaction to media and most of the time, they do not get things right.  Just get over it and leave the guy alone!

        It's a cryin shame what's happened to Leif, but this is what happens..he freaked out when a friend was killed and I think he's done well to hang on like he has..so much exposure when young and who was there to guide him ? He played a big part in my life when I was 14..his music and the cameo parts he played on tv..I feel very sad his life has come to this... I only wish there was something I could do.
        Leif...come to the UK..I will take care of you.
        Love J.x
