In the wake of the deaths of both Heath Ledger and Brad Renfro in the same week, a new generation of Hollywood’s power girls are speaking up. They’ve pledged that they will not wind up with the same tragic fate.

These young ladies tell Us they keep their heads on straight:

Says honoree Amanda Bynes, 21: “I don’t like to drink. I have definitely stayed out of the party scene. I’ve been offered to go to those parties, but I feel like I would be the one who would die if I did something.”

Of today’s out of control club-goers, she adds, “I don’t know how they think they’re gonna live forever.”

Echoes High School Musical star Ashley Tisdale, 22: “I don’t drink, and I don’t smoke. It’s a personal preference. My mom has never drunk or smoked. I look up to my mom.”

She tells Us she doesn’t get how her Hollywood counterparts can find time for clubbing.

“I don’t understand how people do it —I work non-stop! Then when I’m done working, I’m just so tired I just want to be home,” she says.

“Clubs are just not where I want to be photographed,” adds country singer Taylor Swift, 18.

She also says she realizes the impact her actions could have on her younger fans.

“For everything I do, I think about a 6-year-old girl and her mom that I saw at my concert last night,” she tells Us. “I think about what those two individuals would think if I were at a club last night.

“I never want to be arrested, and I never want to get a DUI,” Swift says. “Those are my moral values. I am an over-achiever, and I want to be known for the good things in my life.”

Childhood star-turned-teen queen Raven-Symone obeys a rule: “I like to be in by 1 or 2 a.m. because [you can get in more trouble] at night. Anytime really, but the night scares me sometimes.”

Miley Cyrus, 15 — Hollywood’s No. 1. power girl — offered this tip to today’s troubled young stars.

“The most important thing is really staying true to yourself,” she tells Us. “That’s what my mom taught me. She’s the most beautiful girl, not only on the outside but on the inside. She’s teaching me how to be a good person.”

A fan recently ran into Taylor Swift. Literally.

Then the fan asked the 18-year-old country musician for her autograph, in a weird place.

“Yeah, somebody hit my car and then asked me to sign a broken piece of my taillight,” said Swift, according to the Canadian news Web site, Canoe.ca.

“Then it was crazy,” Swift said. “Five minutes later this other woman saw me on the side of the road and decided that she wanted to get an autograph for her daughter. So she pulled over to get my autograph and then somebody hit her car. It was quite the experience.”

On the topic of cars, Swift recently donated hers – a pink “jacked-up” Chevy pick-up given her by her label for her birthday last month – to Victory Junction Gang, a children’s charity assisting those with terminal diseases.

“They have camps all over the country for kids who are sick,” says Swift. “It’s one week each some they forget they’re sick and just have a blast and hang out with other people who they can relate to. They look forward to it, and I love that cause.”
