Support Paul O'Brien and Jade on It Takes Two
Check out Paul O'Brien as he talks about the challenge of performing on It Takes Two with sexy songstress Jade MacRae. Click here.
Go to the It Takes Two website for all the voting details.
Paul and Jade are through to the fourth round of It Takes Two. Paul was barely recognisable in his costume from the Rocky Horror Picture Show.
We caught up with Paul when he got back to Sydney and asked him how he was feeling.
"Pretty good actually, although the scores were scary." He said. The judges were tough and Paul felt a bit disgruntled at the time, but said looking back on it, he felt they achieved what they set out to do, which was to be more theatrical. "It was an experiment to see how it worked and it was a real challenge and we got out the other end, so life is good" he added.
He is not getting much sleep, which makes it even harder. "Last night I got about 3-5 hours and kept waking up during the night. This morning I have done a radio interview and a column for TV Week, been to a recording studio and then other interviews, then on a plane, then to the Home and Away studio and onto location until 11.15pm tonight...and then back at work at 10am tomorrow morning!!" he explained. He actually missed his rehearsal with Jade this week, so we think he did incredibly well. He knows your support and votes have got him through and is very grateful.
Next week he is doing a John Lennon song which has much more feeling, so tune in and keep supporting Paul and Jade.

Hi Paul - I'm thoroughly enjoying seeing you perform on It Takes Two. You're the only reason I watch it to be perfectly honest. Although I couldn't take you seriously with that eye make-up on last night. You had me in stiches from the opening with the re-cap of your week, then your rock star performance and then your joke at the end. I thought you improved immensely and I'm very much looking forward to next week's show. I've been voting for you too. Continue the good work and I hope you continue to enjoy yourself whilst not taking yourself too seriously. Go Paul!

The Great Walk to Beijing 2008
Rachel Gordon, who has recently returned to Home and Away, will be joining Olivia Newton John and an entourage of stars on the Great Walk to Beijing, a 21-day extreme challenge to trek along the Great Wall of China.

Each step of the walker's step can be sponsored at a dollar a step, to fight cancer through the Olivia Newton-John Cancer Centre Appeal.
