Justin Bieber is the quintessential teen idol. He's got the looks, the moves, the voice, the riches and the ladies ... millions of them! But, skyrocketing to fame and fortune during the impressionable adolescent years has proven to take its toll on many a teen star before the Biebs. From alcohol and drug abuse, to sex scandals, run-ins with the law and everything in between, there's no denying that there's a teen idol curse! As the 18-year-old pop star releases his latest album Believe, AOL Music takes a look back at the ill-fated teen idols of the past. Here's hoping the Biebs will escape the curse!

I've never heard of anyone "weekend" by drugs in dire "straights", with "addition" problems. Seriously, dude. Don't rely so heavily on spellcheck.

Oh, and it's *weakened, *straits, and *addiction. Sheesh.

The parents have to make sure that these gifted children and teens save the money they made and get a good education. It will help them to fall back with ease once their fame fades away.

Andy Gibb was not Australian, he was English. What a terrible loss. Now we've lost 2 more Gibb brothers.
