FORMER beauty queen turned host Miriam Quiambao is now on the August 2008 cover of Playboy Philippines. Quiambao was first runner up in the 1999 Ms. Universe.
The cover shows Quiambao wearing a white, skin-tight mini-skirt which reveals her sexy figure. A pair of dangling earings also accentuate her perfect face. This is perhaps her most daring photo-shoot to date.
OK, this is pretty late, but better late than never, huh, Sofie heh 
Sofie’s FHM blog just turned a year old, and this Girl Next Door found an interesting way to celebrate.
Here’s an excerpt from her blog post:
FHM.com.ph wouldn’t be one of the most visited sites here in the Philippines without the sizzling photos, and it would never be called FHM without the hot and sexy photos of the babes. So for my FHMBlog’s anniversary, and as my gift to everyone, I decided to do a never-been-done shoot, and finally display a never been shown photo of me.
Sorry, can’t show the whole pic ‘coz of the, uh, nippy weather, but here’s a screenshot.
TO PROMOTE vegetarianism, (l-r) Istara Bon Gundry, Ashley Fruno and Katrina Lugartos of the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals wore lettuce bikinis and held a protest walk at Plaza Miranda in Quiapo Friday.

ONE of my guilty pleasures is watching the new “American Gladiators” — heck, I used to love the original show, too. And I’ve got to admit that one of the main reasons I love the show is seeing the gladiator Crush in action.
In case you didn’t know, the beautiful Crush is a badass not just in the gladiator arena but in real life as well. She’s mixed martial arts fighter Gina “Conviction” Carano, a Muay Thai specialist who remains undefeated. Together with Julie Kedzie, Gina made history on February 10, 2007 in the first women’s MMA match to be televised on a premium TV network, Showtime. I saw that bout but so far I can’t find a copy posted online; it was a great fight and you should try to watch it if you can.
MMA fans know they’re in for a treat whenever Gina steps inside the EliteXC cage. Gorgeous and deadly. How gorgeous? Check out her gallery on Maxim.
Here’s a “Meet Gina Carano” video.

FOR years, I’ve been hearing that Playboy is coming to the Philippines, but finally next week the Philippine edition of this men’s magazine will hit newsstands.
The funny thing, however, is that the Philippine edition won’t feature frontal nudity, and will in fact be a lot tamer than the Playboy we know.
WTF? So why even bother bringing it here, presumably spending a fortune in licensing? OK, maybe the Philippine publisher is taking to heart the usual statement that “we read Playboy for the articles.”
Anyway, here’s what editor-in-chief Beting Laygo Dolor was quoted as saying:
“I think a lot of the church people, especially the more liberal ones, will appreciate what we are trying to do in terms of quality and content,” said Dolor.
