Singer Norah Jones shuns the extravagances her wealthy lifestyle affords her - preferring instead to spend her money on hard-up pals.

The Come Away With Me star can remember what it was like to be a struggling performer, so she makes her artist friends' lives easier by treating them to gourmet dinners and luxury holidays.

Jones says, "I don't really have a major extravagance. I do get excited when I take my friends for a nice dinner - because most of them are still struggling artists, and don't have much money. I also took them on holiday to Costa Rica and that was great. It's nice to be able to do things like that."
