LONDON:

Mariah Carey has advised struggling celebrities Lindsay Lohan and Britney Spears to focus on important things in life than bother about what tabloids write about them.

Carey, 37, has undergone her own trials when she suffered a breakdown in 2001 but is grateful to her belief in God for helping her get through, reports contactmusic.com. She said, “I would say you need to be very centred, and spiritually know where you’re at all the time. Don’t read the tabl-oids. 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... It took me a long time to acknowledge that my personal feelings mattered.”
