In the wake of all of the madness that surrounds Britney Spears, Kylie Minogue has offered her some advice:

Kylie said: “I wish someone would write a manual about fame because it’s not easy. I’m always loath to say that because there are a lot more difficulties out there that people deal with every day – but when fame is handed to you, it is unique.

“It’s not to the same extreme, but I can remember having a mini-meltdown myself – and unless you’ve got good people around to support you, you’ve got a problem.

“Who knows what is going on in her life? Britney isn’t that young any more. I think she will still come back but it’s like she’s taken an extended holiday.

“Whatever help she needs, she should reach out and get it.”

Wise words. Hopefully Britney can get her act together and make a real comeback. We can hope, right?
