Hey M Girls!

We have a BRAND NEW celeb advice column on mmm-mag.com. Each day at 8:00 PM/EST we'll post a reader question and have a different star answer it!! Today, we have Ashanti talking staying positive!!

M Reader braceface asked:
My friend has been really rude to me lately -- she calls me a brat and puts me down all the time. It's getting hard to stay friends with her because she's making me feel so negative. What's your advice?

And Ashanti's answer is:
"I've always tried to stay positive in my life and steer away from the negative things. Surrounding yourself with positive people will help you in the end while sticking around negative people won't get you far along the way. I always try to see the glass as half full because once you think it's half empty, great things rarely follow. Just stay positive and don't let people taking their unhappiness out of you affect you! You're great the way you are and there's nothing wrong with you!"

Don't forget to check back here tomorrow for more celeb advice. And if you've got a question you want a star's help with click here to submit it!
