Jennifer Lopez and husband Marc Anthony have spoken of the dangers facing young stars and how they need to cope with celebrity properly.
Speaking during an interview in New York to publicise their new film 'El Cantante', Lopez said: "Nobody has a handbook for fame. It's no easy thing to deal with. You've got to have good people around you."
Anthony continued: "The thing about this business, in a way it's pretty sad, because you get child stars who are too many people's meal ticket and they're not going to tell the child that they can't do something."
He added: "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."
Lopez spoke of her own experiences with celebrity and how she was a regular feature in tabloids and celebrity magazines before she married Anthony.
"It wasn't that I was courting that attention, it was just that I was just living my life, so I thought," she said.
"When I sat down for a second and ... had a mature thought about it ... I realised it was my responsibility if I didn't want it to be that way," she added.
Lopez also offered the following advice to celebrities: "You want to be proud of yourself at the end of the day."
