Stay out of showbusiness!

That is the message from Destiny’s Child singer Beyonce Knowles to tomorrow’s wannabe stars.

The 20 year old said the industry is full of backbiters who “can drive you crazy and mess with your head. You have to be super-strong because people say things about you.”

Beyonce Knowles, interviewed by the Radio Times, said she and fellow group members Michelle Williams and Kelly Rowland would “remain together as long as we have fun on stage and make good records. But I wouldn’t suggest this as a career for anyone.”

The singer, who is to co-star as Foxxy Cleoptara in the new Austin Powers movie, said “Sharks are all around and if you can survive them once you’re successful, that’s when the true you comes out.”
