Now, THIS is bloody cool. This is how to get the new generation on stage. Would so go.

In November 2011, Australian playwrights David Finnigan, Sam Burns-Warr, Georgie McAuley and Jordan Prosser travelled to the Philippines to work with the contemporary theatre group Sipat Lawin Ensemble on a month-long collaborative devising process.

Tourist Driving Tarsiers To Suicide.

The adorable tarsier has done wonders for Philippines tourism – but now the tiny primate known for its huge eyes is paying the ultimate price.

The nocturnal creatures are highly sensitive to human contact, noise and daylight.

Increasing numbers of tourists are venturing into their natural habitats, trying to get as close as possible to the four-inch-tall marvels and taking photos.

Conservationist Carlito Pizarras told AFP the close contact with humans can be extremely distressful for the tarsiers, causing them to repeatedly smack their head against a tree.

“People go near and they’re loud, or make a picture with the flash, or they’re touching them. Most of those tarsiers, when they become stressed they commit suicide.

JESUS VERY FULL ON. FROM PEOPLE…….

The father of Glee actress Charice Pempengco was stabbed to death in the Philippines after a run-in with another man in a grocery store, the Associated Press reports.

GODS.

Herbert Chavez, a Superman fan from the Philippines, is so obsessed with the Man of Steel that he underwent several plastic surgery procedures just to look like his favorite superhero.

According to a video report by Bandila News’ Marie Lozano, 35-year-old Herbert Chavez has dramatically altered his appearance to look more like Superman. Unfortunately, the report is in Filipino and I’m not very good at that, but the guys at Real Self Blog translated some of it and managed to uncover that Chavez first went under the knife in 1995 and he’s had several other procedures since then. He had a chin augmentation to get Superman’s cleft, rhinoplasty to get Christopher Reeves nose, silicone injections for more plump lips and even thigh implants for a more muscular look. Examining the before and after photos, they speculate he may also have had eye surgery, cheek augmentation and jaw augmentation.
