MANILA, Philippines — The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) on Monday advised motorists to brace for possible heavy traffic later near SM Mall of Asia where singer Lady Gaga is set to hold her controversial two-day concert.
Ema Loristo of MMDA Metrobase said that they anticipated heavy traffic along the roads leading to MOA because of the concert and protest actions against it.
She said that they will deploy enough MMDA traffic enforcers around MOA to handle the traffic situation.
Pasay City police non-uniform personnel Buen Concejo, meanwhile, said that 25 Civil Disturbance Management officers along with some 50 district and regional police officers will be deployed in the area until Tuesday to handle protest groups who planned to hold protests.
Among the groups were the BibleMode International founded by former Congressman Benny Abante and the BibleMode Youth Philippines.
“But since these are religious groups, we expect their protests to be peaceful naman,” she said.

Jennifer Hawkins Had Plastic Sugery or Not



 See more of Jennifer's transformation here by clicking the image above.


The long ongoing discussion about whether Hawkins has had plastic surgery was rekindled by current Miss Universe Australia contestant Scherri-Lee Biggs at the weekend who said Hawkins had "gone too far" with surgery, the Herald Sun reports.
Biggs reportedly said Hawkins was hardly recognisable, compared with the woman who won the prestigious beauty crown seven years ago.
Finch yesterday said she preferred Biggs' beauty to Hawkins', but did not know for certain whether Hawkins had had plastic surgery.
"She denied it, so maybe she hasn't, but I love what she looks like in a picture in 2004. Whether it might be weight-loss or changes in the face in maturity, whatever it is, it looks so beautiful and fresh in 2004."
Hawkins' management has consistently refused to comment on whether she has had any cosmetic surgery.

Indiana State Fair, killing 5 and injuring dozens


The wind was far stronger than that in other areas of the fairgrounds, said Dan McCarthy, chief meteorologist for the National Weather Service in Indiana. He estimated the gust at 60 to 70 miles per hour.

Four people were killed when the metal scaffolding that holds lights and other stage equipment fell, and a fifth died overnight at a hospital, said Indiana State Police First Sergeant Dave Bursten.

Toilet Paper Wedding Dress Competition



 Created by Susan Brennan of Orchard Lake, Mich. Inspired by nature, Brennan used flowers and feathers as decoration. Winner of $1,000
Rolls used: 4

Cheap Chic Weddings has announced the winner of their Seventh Annual Toilet Paper Wedding Dress Competition.
Using only four rolls of toilet paper, Susan Brennan of Orchard Lake, Michigan, made a pleated floral (and flush-friendly) gown that took home the first place prize of $1,000.
The purpose of the competition, at least when it started in 2004, was to draw attention to the thrift-themed wedding website , Cheap-Chic-Weddings.com, which Roxie Radford and her daughters Susan Bain and Laura Gawne, all from Boca Raton, Florida, founded in 2003.
"We almost immediately came up with expanding the idea of the popular bridal shower toilet paper game," Bain said, referring to the pre-wedding practice in which a bride's friends break into groups and create a gown out of two-ply for a lucky teammate.
Radford and daughters didn’t know what to expect from the competition. "We thought, oh dear, what is going to come in?" said Bain. The women ended up receiving over 1000 submissions that first year, some unimpressive, others unbelievably intricate.
The Cheap Chic Weddings team selects the contest's 1st, 2nd, and 3rd prize entries based on creativity, originality, and overall beauty. The only non-toilet paper materials allowed are tape, glue and thread.
But has anyone actually walked down the aisle in one of these creations? Bain only knows of a single instance.
In December 2007, when Charmin asked Cheap Chic Weddings to participate in their seasonal Times Square Restrooms promotion, Jennifer Cannon got married in a bathroom on the corner of 45th and Broadway wearing a Charmin Ultra Soft and Ultra Strong toilet tissue combination dress. It was made by the Cheap Chic competition's 2007 winner, Hanah Kim. (The officiant told the groom that while he was free to kiss the bride, he should probably refrain from squeezing the dress.)
"Our girl is still married, has a baby and a dog named Charmin," Bain said.
