SP: Palau - Tara and Echo Say Goodbye

Not one, but two castaways were eliminated from tonight's episode.

Tara got majority of the votes during the night's first elimination. She was so bitter on her exit interview she even threatened to kill Charles and called Mika "plastik."

The castaways thought the night was over when Paolo instructed Justine to read what's written on the scroll she acquired for being the first runner-up at the most recent Immunity Challenge. The scroll gave her immunity on the 2nd Tribal Council of the night.

The castaways were made to look at the ceiling and were forbidden to talk to anyone so they couldn't plan who to vote out. But it seemed that they were thinking as one because Echo got the most number of votes.

Echo couldn't help but cry but said she wasn't angry that she's voted out. She's sad, though, for the fact that the dream to win was taken away from her. Echo said she only showed her true self to her fellow castaways, and realized that it's not always the best thing to do.

Shakira "Did It Again" on "Dancing with the Stars"

Shakira performed her new single "Did It Again" on Dancing with the Stars. The crowd cheered everytime she performed her sexy hip-shaking moves. No one can really do that like Shakira.

We especially love the Japanese theme. The choreography was brilliant.



Shakira also sang her "Grammy-winning global hit" "Hips Don't Lie."



It was in this results show that they announced Jake Pavelka as the next star of The Bachelor.

SP: Palau - Suzuki Wins Immunity

Suzuki won the Immunity Challenge. He still had the White Pearl as a token from Marvin's eviction and he had a choice to give it to someone else. The White Pearl will deduct one vote from the person holding it during the Tribal Council.

Justine, who was the last one to give up the Pandango before Suzuki, got the scroll Paolo told them about before the Immunity Challenge started. The catch, Justine couldn't open it until during the next Tribal Council. Opening it beforehand will cause her automatic eviction.
It rained hard the night after the Immunity Challenge and Justine's shelter proved not to be as water proof. But despite not being able to sleep well because of the rain, Suzuki was up first the next morning. He woke Charles up so they could talk about the second clue he found on the shore the day before.

When Shaun woke up and was searching for a place to do number 2, he spotted Suzuki and Charles talking. The two also saw Shaun approaching and they hid in the woods to talk about what to do. Suzuki, sincere person as he was, decided to tell Shaun about the clue he found. Also, he talked to Shaun about their supposed alliance. Shaun told Suzuki and Charles that he's with them but Charles wasn't convinced.

Jef, on the other hand, was beginning to have second thoughts on Shaun. The feeling started when she noticed that Shaun suddenly became the one in control. Shaun got the boys to side with him, and he also got the girls' trust.

Tara was also making alliances - with Suzuki and Charles, with Justine, and with Echo.

Will Shaun find the Hidden Immunity? Will they vote Tara out as planned?What will Jef's reaction be when she sees Marvin all cleaned up as the first jury? We'll find out tomorrow at the Tribal Council.

Chris Pine as the Next Jack Ryan

Star Trek hottie Chris Pine is in negotiations with Paramount to play the role of Tom Clancy's famous CIA agent, Jack Ryan.

The character of Jack Ryan had been played by Alec Baldwin in 1990's "The Hunt for Red October," Harrison Ford twice in 1992's "Patriot Games" and 1994's "Clear and Present Danger." The last one who played Jack Ryan was Ben Affleck in 2002's "The Sum of All Fears".

George Clooney was earlier rumored wanting to play Jack Ryan but Paramount wasn't sure at that time about the franchise.

Chris Pine is slowly becoming one of Hollywood's biggest actors from playing Anne Hathaway's love interest in Princess Diaries 2 to playing Captain Kirk in the latest Star Trek, he is now going to play a role that only big names have done in the past.

Sunshine Dizon Pulled Out From "Tinik sa Dibdib"

So it's true - Sunshine Dizon had been pulled out from the afternoon soap "Tinik sa Dibdib."

GMA-7 has this to say:
"GMA Network would like to inform the public that it has pulled out Ms. Sunshine Dizon from her current afternoon drama program, Sine Novela Presents Tinik Sa Dibdib, due to health reasons.

"It was decided that Ms. Dizon's condition would make it impossible for her to perform as an actress. GMA Network advised Ms. Dizon to rest in order to fully recover."

There are rumors going around, though, that the real reason behind the pull-out is that Sunshine was always late for the taping. Some writes that Sunshine is pregnant. Others say that she's depressed due to a recent break-up and the real reason why she was brought to the hospital was overdose on sleeping pills.

On the other hand, Sunshine's mother says that the actress just wants to take a break and spend time in the US with her father. Sunshine also wants to study abroad and the sad part is, she's not sure if she would still go back to her acting career.

This is not the first time, though, that Sunshine Dizon was pulled out of a project. She was one time replaced by Camille Prats in Gaano Kadalas ang Minsan?

We don't know the real reason behind Sunshine Dizon's quitting showbiz. But one thing is sure - there is a big reason behind it.

David Archuleta and Charice Record a Duet

American Idol runner-up David Archuleta recorded a duet with Charice Pempengco for his Christmas album called "Christmas from the Heart." The song Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas was recorded in its original arrangement with just a little tweak to suit the duet.

The song was first sang by Judy Garland for the 1944 MGM musical Meet Me in St. Louis, but the more popular version was recorded later on by Frank Sinatra.

This duet, I'm quite sure will boost Charice Pempengco's popularity in the US just a little more. David Foster said that Charice captures the attention of older audiences but with this duet with David Archuleta, are we seeing a step to introduce Charice to the younger crowd? She was also lately seen singing Miley Cyrus' The Climb while playing the piano.

Listen to David Archuleta and Charice Pempengco's duet below.
