When it comes to marriage, Joey Fatone has some words of wisdom for his former *NSYNC bandmate Justin Timberlake.

"Don't listen to all the BS," he advises Timberlake, 31, who is engaged to Jessica Biel, in a new interview in Parade magazine.

"Especially in his situation, he and his fiance ... they're both in the limelight as well," adds Fatone, 35. "It's tough for those celebrity couples. It's really hard."

Timberlake and Biel's high-profile jobs which might force them to spend stretches of time apart could also cause strain, notes the Dancing with the Stars alum, who is married to his high school sweetheart, Kelly Baldwin Fatone. His solution? "It's the communication that really needs to drive that relationship."

Fatone, father to two daughters Briahna, 11 this month, and Kloey, 2 also advises Timberlake to "keep it happy, light, and fun" to maintain romance once kids and other pressures eventually enter the picture.

As for Fatone, he hosts a new show, My Family Recipe Rocks, Satu rdays at 9 p.m. on the Live Well Network.
