Shaun White was already sorry for his antics at a Nashville hotel that led to him getting busted for vandalism and public intoxication last month.

And now, the snowboarding hero has a lesson to impart.

"Be careful and, you know, live your life and make mistakes, but not too big of ones," White, looking dapper in a suit, told E! News today at Target's 50th anniversary bash in New York.

We'll certainly try to abide.

Also making the scene at the red-carpet event were Naomi Watts, Christa Allen and Alicia Keys, who performed for the Target-loving crowd.

"I grew up in Target," White also told us. When he was a kid, he would buy video games, he said, and now the Olympic gold medalist has his own clothing line there.
