Heather Mills is sick of people seeing her as the woman who tried to destroy Paul McCartney's reputation, and in the process take him for millions of dollars. No, Heather wants a new image - as the heroic amputee who wins a dance competition. And to that end, she has signed on as a participant for the next season of the hit show Dancing With the Stars.
"Some may think this is a surprising way for Heather to raise her profile in the US," a source told Britain's Daily Express, "but she has never been stifled by her disability. She is a great skier and a superb dancer."
And a terrific money-grubbing publicity whore. But Money Grubbing Publicity Whoring With the Stars is not yet a show (although, with Fox around...).
Obviously, Heather Mills is out of her mind. People hate her - really hate her. Maybe she thinks that hate isn't so bad on this side of the pond, but I think she's in for a rude awakening. I think people over here are aware of her, and revile her. Therefore, I'd say she has about as much chance of winning this competition as the original Beatles do of getting back together. In fact, I think she will likely be eliminated early - provided the voting is actually legitimate. If it isn't legitimate (which it probably isn't) then the producers will go out of their way to keep Heather around, milking the whole "rising above her disability angle" and all the worldwide publicity the whole thing is sure to generate. One thing I definitely do not see happening is Heather emerging from this with a new, positive image. I mean, my God, it's been almost forty years since Yoko broke up the Beatles, and people still haven't forgiven her. In fact, if Yoko were to walk into a Beatles convention, there's a good chance she'd be torn limb-from-limb. And the same thing would probably happen to Heather too - except there'd be one less limb to tear off.
