Stranger Danger

My sister recently had a talk with my four-year-old nephew Jack about strangers. Here's how it went:

SISTER: Now, Jack, if a stranger says, "Come here, I want to show you something," what do you do?

JACK: I turn around and run!

SISTER: If a stranger says, "Come here, I want to give you some candy," what do you do?

JACK: I turn around and run!

SISTER: If a stranger says, "Come here, I want to show you my puppy," what do you do?

JACK: Oh, I love puppies...

Beyoncé & Her Big Apple Babe

Beyoncé </a>and her 3-month-old daughter Blue Ivy were spotted arriving at an undisclosed destination in Brooklyn, New York on Tuesday (April 17).

The singing sensation was wearing her precious baby girl today but made sure to keep Blue's face and head covered with a tied scarf. The 30-year-old actress looked fashionable in a black and yellow printed shirt tucked into a pair of high-waisted black shorts with a black fedora to complete her look. It looks like baby Blue was sporting a yellow tee and a pair of teeny jeans.

Lady Gaga Opens Up About Sometimes Feeling 'Worthless'

Singer discusses being bullied as a child and her plan not to speak to the media 'for a very long time' on 'Oprah's Next Chapter.'
By Jocelyn Vena

<P>Lady Gaga confessed she wants to have enough children to form a "soccer team" when she sat down with talk show maven Oprah Winfrey for "Oprah's Next Chapter." In the intimate chat, which took place at Gaga's childhood home in New York City, the never-press-shy Gaga made another big announcement. </P><P> </P><P> </P><P> </P><P>"Other than this interview, Oprah, I don't intend to speak to anyone for a very long time. I have to shut out the noise," Mother Monster told Winfrey, according to Gossip Cop. "The latest thing I do is I don't read a damn thing. No press, no television. If my mom calls and says, 'Did you hear about?' I don't want to know nothing about anything that is going on ... I shut it all off." </P><P> </P><P>Gaga's mother was on hand for parts of the interview, sharing that in Gaga's early days, her father thought she had a "screw loose" while she was performing at downtown New York nightclubs in her bra while lighting hairspray on fire. The superstar added that there's one thing about her current act that her mother isn't a big fan of. </P><P> </P><P>"She doesn't like when I swear," Gaga said, with her mother adding, "You're effective without it." </P><P> </P><P>Another part of the candid chat also focused on Gaga's youth, during which she said she was frequently bullied. "There really is no difference between the bully and the victim," she said. "I would like to do a psychological autopsy on as many bullies and victims as possible ... How do we understand what breeds hatred, what breeds anger?" </P><P>She added that despite all "all the praise you receive, something inside of you is scarred by those experiences. ... Sometimes I feel worthless." </P><P>Parts of the special were also filmed at Harvard University last month. </P><P> </P><P>The singer and the talk show host were on hand at the prestigious college to launch Gaga's Born This Way Foundation. </P><P> </P><P>"I just have one thing to say before we get started: We got Oprah! ... Thank you from all of us &#8212; from my entire team, from my mother, from the bottom of the hearts of so many people who believe in what we're doing today," Gaga said at the launch. She explained that the foundation seeks to empower the youth of America, adding, "How can we inspire young people to know they have the power to be brave?"</p>

Coldplay Opening Act The Pierces Take Their 'Witchy World' On Tour

'They're coming to see Coldplay but they won't be disappointed,' lead singer Catherine Pierce tells MTV News.

If you're going to see Coldplay's world tour this spring, don't expect a testosterone-filled happy hour. The world-renowned rockers have enlisted the duo known as the Pierces to fill one of the opening-act slots on the first leg of their tour. And it's not difficult to understand how the two Alabama-raised sisters caught the band's attention.

Lead singer Catherine and bass player Allison were brought on board for the tour after Coldplay bassist Guy Berryman produced their most recent album, You & I. Back in 2010, the Pierces teamed up with Coldplay for one night only to play the iTunes music festival in London.

"This will be the first time we've toured with them," Catherine told us.

You may already be familiar with the Pierces' music without even knowing it. Their song "Secret" is used in the opening sequence of the CW series "Pretty Little Liars" as well as Showtime's hit serial killer drama "Dexter." The Pierces also performed the song at a debutante ball in the first season of "Gossip Girl."

"We have a hard time describing our music," Catherine laughed about the band's eclectic sound.

"It's not folk, it's not like pop-pop and it's not rock," Allison said. "It's somewhere in the midst of those three things."

"With a dash of metal," Catherine added with a mischievous smirk.

The Pierces' first U.S. single off of their new album is "You'll Be Mine." The sexy video for the song features the sisters dancing and kissing men in what they describe as a "white, witchy world" setting.

"I think Coldplay's audience will like our music," Catherine predicted. "They're coming to see Coldplay but they won't be disappointed. It's gonna be awesome."

The Pierces will kick off the tour with Coldplay in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, on April 17.
