In a surprise move, Paulina Porizkova was sent packing Wednesday March 28, on ABC television's popular show, Dancing With The Stars.

The 41-year-old Czech supermodel was the first casualty in the fourth season of the popular U.S. reality TV series. Also leaving was her professional partner Alec Mazo, who won the first season dancing with actress-model Kelly Monaco.

While not among the front runners, Paulina displayed grace and good humor through the first two weeks of the competition.

Also competing in this year's lineup are Olympic speed skater Apolo Ohno; former professional basketball star Clyde Drexler; comic actor John Ratzenberger; Laila Ali, professional boxer and daughter of Muhammad Ali; former 'N Sync member Joey Fatone; actor Ian Ziering; TV chat show hostess Leeza Gibbons; former Miss USA Shandi Finnessey; animal rights activist Heather Mills; and country singer Billy Ray Cyrus.
