Simpson to avoid Spears, Lohan mistakes

Ashlee Simpson has promised that she won't make the same mistakes as young female stars like Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan.

The singer said that she deliberately avoids people who would try to control her and lead her down the wrong path.

"I don’t see myself ever following the path those girls take," she told the Daily Star. "I’m almost 24. I’m pretty together and I’m getting married.

"I wouldn’t ever let myself get that way and I don’t surround myself with yes-­people. I think that’s the most important thing.

"People don’t control me or anything I do and I’ve never had that problem."

Simpson claimed that her lover Pete Wentz was also helpful in making sure she didn't let fame go to her head.

She added: "Pete’s my support system. We definitely give honest opinions of each other. I love his music and he’s so supportive of everything I do."
