Brad Pitt and George Clooney have slammed Hollywood's new generation of "car wreck" stars. The "Ocean's Thirteen" co-stars admitted they would struggle to cope with the pressure young Hollywood stars face today, but said too many young actors just want to be splashed over gossip magazines.

Clooney told Entertainment Weekly magazine: "We are always going to be that society that slows down to look at the car wreck on the side of the road. I think we're just in one of those places right now, and it seems to be focused on younger kids. Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan and people like that.

"They'll get through it, but I wouldn't want to be growing up around that."

Pitt added that young stars are to blame for being fame-hungry, and not focusing on more important issues.

He said: "But being that is our nature, you have to focus on other, more important issues too, because those 'car wreck' tendencies can be very disruptive and aren't a good guide on how to live your life."

Clooney, 46, confessed he would have probably gone off the rails if his fame had come along when he was 21, saying, "I'd be shooting crack under my eyeball."

But Brad, 43, said the "younger breed seems to be groomed for it."

Last month, actress Lindsay Lohan, 20, checked into rehab for the second time this year following an arrest for DUI (driving under the influence).

Paris Hilton is currently in prison serving a 23-day sentence for driving offences.

But, George when fame did come along, you were not immune to the abuses of drug and alcohol. Who are the kids, at what age are they no longer kids George? Clooney, is a picking out of the kid pool he refers to with Sarah Larson. Be Careful what you say Georgie, it's hard to take your foot out of your mouth when your hands are already in the cookie jar.
Paris, Lindsay, Sarah, all young enough to be your daughters. Following in the path of most old farts in Hollywood.
