Lopez offers advice to troubled stars

Jennifer Lopez has advised young stars to surround themselves with people who will keep them grounded.

Following the recent reports of Britney Spears, Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan struggling to cope with life in the spotlight, Lopez has spoken about how difficult fame can be.

"Nobody has a handbook for fame. It's no easy thing to deal with," Lopez explained in a joint interview with husband Marc Anthony. "You've got to have good people around you."

Offering further advice to Hollywood's current crop of troubled stars, the singer added: "You want to be proud of yourself at the end of the day."

Anthony, a singer-songwriter and actor, agreed with his wife's assessment: "I had people who kept me in line. I was fortunate in that way. Now it would seem that people's best interests are just to keep the star happy as long as the money is still coming in."
