“Star Wars” actress Carrie Fisher admitted Monday to taking cocaine on the set of “The Empire Strikes Back”, saying she didn’t even like the drug but was intent on getting high.
The Princess Leia actress, now 53, said her life had been defined by addiction, with stints in psychiatric hospitals and rehab clinics — even the emergency room with an overdose.

“We did cocaine on the set of ‘Empire’, in the ice planet,” Fisher told Australian newswire AAP, referring to the setting of the second film in the original “Star Wars” trilogy.

“I didn’t even like coke that much, it was just a case of getting on whatever train I needed to take to get high,” she said while visiting Sydney for her “Wishful Drinking” stand-up comedy show.

Now a writer and comedienne, Fisher’s turn as Princess Leia in the 1977-1983 “Star Wars” saga was by far her most famous role.

“The Blues Brothers” co-star John Belushi warned her that she had a problem prior to his own death from a drug overdose in 1982, and Fisher said she ultimately came to realise how dangerous her habits were. (Read More).

Europe taking latest terror warning seriously. State dept warns US travellers. Americans living in or visiting the continent have been told to take security precautions.

This advice is one step below the formal warning recommending no travel at all.

Following the US move, Britain upgraded its travel advice for Europe.

The Foreign Office said there was a “high threat” of attacks in countries including France and Germany, rather than the “general threat” previously identified.

It follows intelligence indicating al Qaeda terrorists are planning to launch simultaneous Mumbai-style attacks in the UK, France and Germany.

“Terrorists may elect to use a variety of means and weapons and target both official and private interests,” the US State Department said in its alert.

“US citizens are reminded of the potential for terrorists to attack public transportation systems and other tourist infrastructure. (Read More).

The building was compared by some to the Fortress of Solitude, the crystalline headquarters of Superman depicted in comic books.

Sharif El-Gamal, the developer, said: “We want to have a marriage between Islamic architecture and New York City. We want to do something that is green and cool.”

The proposed Islamic centre, two blocks from the site of the World Trade Centre attacks, has created widespread controversy in the United States. (Read More).

Joran Vandersloot celebrates 5th anniversary of Natalie Halloway murder by murdering again. Aruban prosecutor Peter Blanken, who has been part of the investigation into the disappearance of Natalee Holloway, has learned that Joran van der Sloot is now a suspect in a new murder, that of a 21-year-old woman whose body was found in a hotel room in Lima, Peru. The prosecutor told CBS News that the allegation was a remarkable development and says that he is personally shocked by it.

Early Wednesday morning, Stephany Flores Ramirez was found dead, Peruvian newspaper El Comercio reports, in a hotel room registered under van der Sloot’s name. According to police reports, Ramirez had been brutally stabbed and was found wrapped in a blanket in a pool of blood.

Chief of detectives Col. Miguel Canlla says that Stephany was murdered on Sunday, and the girl’s father, Ricardo Flores, says van der Sloot appears with his daughter in video taken at a Lima casino early Sunday. (Read More).

BP leak may be capped by Christmas. BP Plc’s failure since April to plug a Gulf of Mexico oil leak has prompted forecasts the crude may continue gushing into December in what President Barack Obama has called the greatest environmental disaster in U.S. history.

BP’s attempts so far to cap the well and plug the leak on the seabed a mile below the surface haven’t worked, while the start of the Atlantic hurricane season this week indicates storms in the Gulf may disrupt other efforts.

“The worst-case scenario is Christmas time,” Dan Pickering, the head of research at energy investor Tudor Pickering Holt & Co. in Houston, said. “This process is teaching us to be skeptical of deadlines.”

Ending the year with a still-gushing well would mean about 4 million barrels of oil spilled into the Gulf, based on the government’s current estimate of 12,000 to 19,000 barrels leaking a day. That would wipe out marine life deep at sea near the leak and elsewhere in the Gulf, and along hundreds of miles of coastline, said Harry Roberts, a professor of Coastal Studies at Louisiana State University.

How did this 18 month old get an STD?!

Pugs & Company — Thu, 13 May 2010 13:19:52 +0000

Baltimore police are investigating how an 18-month-old girl contracted gonorrhea, a sexually transmitted disease, and are trying to determine whether a family acquaintance is responsible, according to a department spokesman.

No criminal charges have been filed. Police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said detectives are focusing on a suspect based on statements from the infant’s parents. “We are working as fast as we can with the Baltimore Child Abuse Center,” Guglielmi said.

He said the baby could undergo a test today to determine if she was raped. Guglielmi said detectives have already consulted the city state’s attorney’s office, and charges could be issued after the test is complete. (Read More).
