Pop punk Pink knows how to avoid the pitfalls of fame - because she has seen so many of her contemporaries crash and burn.

The Get The Party Started singer watched other aspiring stars fall by the wayside when their ego got too big - and vowed she would never go the same way.

She says, "I hope I never get too big for my boots. I haven't so far and I hope I won't. I have seen others do it and it's disgusting."

"I was lucky enough to get a record deal at 16 and then not have a record out until I was 20. I had four years to watch everyone else f**k up and blow up and think they were s**t. You see the same people on the way up you see on the way down."
