Nearly overwhelmed by the masses of Justin Bieber fans who gathered in Oslo for a free performance the teen mega-star gave Wednesday night, Norwegian police reportedly threatened a state of emergency and appealed to the singer for help in controlling his followers.

According to the gossip website TMZ.com, tens of thousands of Bieber's fans traveled across Europe and descended on Oslo. The 18-year-old singer was scheduled to perform four new songs at the Oslo Opera House as part of his "Justin Bieber Believe: All Around the World" television special that airs June 21 on NBC.

But the massive fan presence taxed local police efforts and cast doubt on whether the performance could go forward.

Bieber's manager, Scooter Braun, detailed the situation on Twitter: "The streets are filled ... the bridges are closed. It is out of control. We may have to start the show early or they will cancel. #bieberfever"

"To have this much pressure and this much attention on this one single guy, I think that's pretty unprecedented," Jennifer Peros of Us Weekly magazine told Good Morning America.

Five bodies burned beyond recognition in a charred vehicle discovered in the southern Arizona desert appear to be victims of drug-smuggling violence, Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu said Saturday.

Deputies are searching for suspects in the killings just west of Casa Grande, in desolate Vekol Valley between Phoenix and Tucson, NBC Station KVOA of Tucson reported.

Around 4:30 a.m. Saturday, a border patrol agent saw a Ford Expedition pulled over on Interstate 8, Babeu said. The vehicle had gone airborne off the interstate, he said. When the agent approached the SUV, the driver took off.

The smoldering Expedition was found about 8:30 a.m. Four bodies were found in the cargo area and one was in the backseat, Babeu said. None were in the driver or passenger seats, he said.

Residents in east London have threatened to form human barricades to prevent missiles being installed on the rooftops of their homes for the Olympic Games.

Six sites in east London have been earmarked for the deployment of Rapier and Starstreak missiles, each with a range of over three miles and capable of travelling at three times the speed of sound.

During the Olympics, London will have more soldiers on the streets than at any time since the Second World War and that there will be more armed personnel patrolling the capital than the entire number of British troops serving in Afghanistan. This amounts to far more security than was in place at the Beijing Olympics.

Critics claim there has been a militarization of London in the run up to the games. Inhabitants of an upmarket gated development in the upmarket Bow Quarter, announced at the meeting on Thursday night that they would do everything in their power to stop the deployment of the missiles.
