If you're a young celebrity struggling under the spotlight of stardom, it's hard to think of a mentor you want offering you advice more than Mariah Carey.

Here's what the totally well-grounded singer had to say about Lindsay Lohan and Britney Spears in the latest issue of Glamour:

"I wouldn't want to speak to those people specifically, but I would say you need to be very centered, and spiritually know where you're at, all the time. Don't read the tabloids. Don't be obsessed with what people are writing or saying. Live your life for you.

My lifestyle has changed since making it. It's not a financial struggle, but I'm still struggling in a lot of ways."

We wonder how she feels about the Kim Kardashian nude photo scandal. Or universal health care.
