Norway police slammed for slow response to rampage

OSLO, Norway (AP) — When Anders Behring Breivik launched his assault on the youth campers of Utoya Island, he expected Norway'sspecial forces to swoop down and stop him at any minute.
Instead, Delta Force police officers made the 25-mile journey by car — they have no helicopter — then had to be rescued by a civilian craft when their boat broke down as it tried to navigate a one-minute hop to the island.
It took police more than 90 minutes to reach the gunman, who by then had mortally wounded 68 people. Breivik immediately dropped his guns and surrendered, having exceeded his wildest murderous expectations.
As Oslo's police force sounds an increasingly defensive note, international experts said Tuesday that Norway's government and security forces must learn stark lessons from a massacre made worse by a lackadaisical approach to planning for terror.

" Those who have worked with her on tour reported to me that Gaga barely ate for weeks at a time a fit into her costume, " investigate journalist Ian Halperin told star. " She is sick and obsess with her weight. One friend told me, Gaga will stare at herself in the mirror for hours on end analyzing and critiquing her body. it's unhealthy obsession.

halperin added that the " Edge of Glory" singer uses her crazy wigs and costumes to detract from Lups- induced hair loss and red rashes. We're calling shenannigans on this, though - she admitted to Larry King that She has the debilitating ill nes, but said she doesn't suffer the side effects.

" Lupus is in my family and it is genetic. My mother told me the other day that my fans were quite worried about me becasue I did talk about the fact that I was tested for Lupus," Gaga told the retired talk show host.

Jodie Foster :" Fame is like sticking pins in your eyes"


Former child star Jodie Foster is relieved her celebrity status has died down since she first broke into hollywood, likening fame to " sticking pins in your eyes." The 48 year old actress started her on-screen career aged just three, and found fame with her Oscar nominated role as a child prostitute in 1976's "Taxi Driver"

She has since carved out a successful, film career but maintains a low profile in her private life and foster is pleased she's slipped under the radar.   She tells Britain's Daily Express, " I think people are kind of over me now. They are more interested in Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie and that's just fine. The price you pay for celebrity is like sticking pins in your eyes.. I've been working in this business for years and there's no way you can do that and not be as nutty as fruitcake.

'Prayer Alert' SMS targets Incubus


American rock band Incubus is the subject of a negative text message circulating locally as of late.

"PRAYER ALERT!! a rock band called incubus is coming to perform at the Araneta coliseum on July 28. We must pray this group duznt even step on 2 the philippines soil so that they dont impart their spirits into our YOUTH!", a part of the text msg read a quoted by ABS-CBN in a report posted online on July 6.

This would be the group's third time to visit the country. they previously held concerts in manila in 2008 and 2004. To drive its point home, the text message even cited the definition of the word " incubus".
" 1. a male demon believe to lie on sleeping persons 3 have sexual intercourse with them2. situation resembling a terrifying dream  3. some one who depresses or worries others," it read.

The message ended by urging its recipients to  " pls pray ! may god protect us all "

In an interview posted in March 2009 on youtube via user just a phase bizarre, incubus frontman brandon boyd and lead guitarist mike elinzinger gave the reason they named their band as such. " Because it's silly soounding word" Elinzinger said.

Boyd continued, " And we were 15 years old and we think of a name quickly because we got to play at a party in someone's backyard", adding that they chose the name incubus over spiral staircase and chink of funk.

" And then mike looked at the thesurus and he's all, " incubus! look right there. that should be our name! we're all right," boyd shared

On incubus meaning, Einzinger recalled, " I'm pretty sure  I remeber that it just said, " a spirit that seduces women while they're sleeping" adding that they thought the word was " pretty harmless."
