Singing diva Jennifer Lopez and her husband Marc Anthony have issued a warning to young celebrities about the people surrounding them.

The couple revealed that many stars will be led astray by people in their entourage called "enablers", who will agree with them at all times, no matter what the consequences.

Lopez, 38, 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, 38, who has sold over ten million records, said: "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.

"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."

The couple's comments come after former child star and actress Lindsay Lohan was charged for a second time with drink-driving just days after leaving a stint in rehab and reports continue to flood in about the odd behaviour of pop star Britney Spears, who also attended rehab recently.
