By now, Dancing With the Stars is in full swing, pun completely intended. It seems that audience members were at first weary of Heather Mills' decision to be a contestant in a show where others who have both their legs had deemed too physically demanding. Appearing last night on The Tonight Show, Heather Mills admits knowing that most of America is waiting for her leg to fly off. Perhaps we should dub this phenomenon "Leg Watch 2007."
Americans have a built in hatred towards gold diggers. This is a title she certainly earned with her impending divorce to Sir Paul McCartney. Naturally, the press has not been very good for Mills in the past year. However, Hollywood is the land of second chances and it seems there is always room for an acceptance of change. Sure we hate gold diggers, but we also love the underdog. She has handled herself pretty gracefully in light of the premiere of Dancing on both the dance floor and in last night's interview with Leno.
Kudos to the publicist who is orchestrating this transformation. Heather Mills seems to have a leg up on her competition, pun also intended.

No matter what you think of her you've got to admit she's got guts and is doing a lot for people with disabilities - if just by example.

I think she's a bitch and I hope her leg somehow flies off and hits her on the head knocking her out.

"It seems that audience members were at first weary of Heather Mills' decision "
I bet you mean "wary", meaning skeptical, rather than "weary", meaning tired.
As for Mills, I think she did great, considering.

Leg or no leg, I can't stand her. Obviously, the stylist on the show feels the same way. Her dress was hideous, her hair was frumpy, and her make-up was pasty. I say send her home now.

I'm sorry but any true Paul fan has to resent her trying to chum up to American viewers.

Only our country would be gullable enough to take in another outcast from another country. How can anyone be fooled with this ploy. Ask anyone in the U.K. what a vial thing she is. We seem to take in anyone that has a disability and not believe it could all be planned for publicity . She has used her missing leg to her advantage in every interview ever carried out including laying it on Larry King's desk!!!!!!!!!aagghh! All for sympathy and the love of money! Plus any other scam she can work. Ask Paul and her family.

I think Heather Mills did a great job. Grow up people! She married a billionare. From this point forward she will have to pay 4-6 full time security people to protect the ex Beatle's daughter. The lifestyle she has to provide that chile is not cheap. How much would you need from your billionare husband? Would 3 percent of his worth be enough? Thats what she will get. Grow-up folks.

I think this is all for attention, she is no Ginger Rogers. Would she had been considered if she weren't Paul McCartneys ex, what star is she> Show us some real STARS or rename the show! Joanna

Her personal life is not mine to judge. As for that, she got what she asked for, one way or the other. However, I feel basically her motivation is attention and adulation and her poor child will have no choice but to follow in her lead, creating another love-starved individual that will never get enough.

Enough of Heather Mills already. She is a horrible person and to use American TV on a show that is loved by all is dispicable. Anyone that could treat a person the way she treated Paul and now dances her way to America with the fake smile on her face should be booted off in the first week of dancing. Do not fall for it fans and do not let her use us!!

Think she is the first amputee that has accomplished something wonderful and difficult??!! i feel bad for Paul & his family; after being married to someone as wonderful as Linda, then Heather the witch. i totally agree with David. May her leg fly off soon! And may Americans not be stupid enough to feel sorry for her. Vote Heather off now!

Heather is not a very nice person. You marry someone for a short time and then they decided they would rather take something that is not rightfully theirs. She should only be entilted to money that Paul earned while they were together and they should have joint custody. She should not get a penny of money Paul earned before they were married. She is just out to get money. Her appearance on this show is to try and get sympathy for herself not for any good purpose for other people but to save her self from the disgrace and greediness she has shown.

I wonder how many of you Heather bashers would have the guts to do what she is attempting? Her personal life is something she has to live with but what her efforts are contributing to the disabled population is invaluable. Grow up people - hate her if you must - it really doesn't matter what her reasons are for doing "Dancing", what matters is the end result for millions of disabled people!

HEATHER MILLS IS NOT ONE OF MY FAVORITES, BUT PAUL MCCARTNEY PICKED HER, MARRIED HER AND DID NOT GET A PREMARTIAL AGREEMENT. I THINK SHE WENT A LITTLE FAR WITH HER PUBLIC OUTCRIES DURING THE DIVORCE. I DO HOPE SHE GIVES PAUL NO TROUBLE SEEING HIS DAUGHTER. MAYBE THIS WILL TEACH PAUL AND OTHERS TO THINK BEFORE YOU RUSH INTO THINGS. I DO HOPE THAT MOST OF THE MONEY SHE GOT GOES TO THE DAUGHTER, BUT SO FAR I THINK HEATHER IS OUT FOR HEATHER AND NO ONE ELSE.

Paul McCartney married Heather by choice, I don't think a gun was held to his head, and also decided he wanted a child with her. I was a real Beatles fan since they became popular, and just because he is Paul and a former Beatle, does not necessarily make him a nice person. He has a drug past and arrests, leave Heather alone, I for one would not be able to do what she has done, and she also does a lot of charity work. Let her dance.
