Leif Garrett Offers Up Advice For Justin Bieber

A teen idol of the ’70s is offering up some advice for Justin Bieber, hoping the Canadian pop star will take a path different than his. “Do not believe your own publicity,” Leif Garrett told Fox 411. “Sussing out who your real friends are is full-time work. Every scum bag, every drug dealer, every chicken hawk wants a piece of you.”

Garrett also compared his Hollywood romance with Nicolette Sheridan to Justin’s relationship with Selena Gomez. “(Bieber) rented out the Staple Center for her. Fame, money is what tore us apart,” Leif explained. “Nicolette just started modeling. My career was pretty much there. We would get along great or clear rooms. That’s the whole thing with Justin and me. There was no in between… really good or really naughty.”
