TV Dancing with the Stars: Heather Mills Wipeout!

Posted by Wm. Steven Humphrey on Tue, Apr 17 at 9:23 AM

Only the most masochistic TV viewers (like me) watch Dancing with the Stars every week — primarily because we are still not-so-secretly wishing for HEATHER MILLS’ prosthetic leg to go flying off into the crowd like so much NASCAR wreckage. And while our wish didn’t come true last night, Heather’s fakey leg did turn against her at the end of her routine, sending her bouncing on her butt. Naturally, the judges thought her fall was ADORABLE and praised her bravery for so elegantly landing on her ass. Ummm… hey judges… she’s got a fake leg, she’s not RETARDED.
Let’s go to the video! (BTW, her partner—who is retarded—got his chest shaved, hence all the “oil and hair” jokes. Ew.)

Humpy, I'm so masochistic I watched it pre-Mills. It's my guiltiest guilty pleasure. I'd invite you over to guilt it out with me, but I watch with my kids. Plus also no beer. You'd be bored silly.

Was the fall faked, or not? TV Squad says yes, and also that she's moving to the states as soon as she can rustle up a green card to avoid her negative McCartney karma in the UK.

Was the fall faked? I'm not one of those people who cry "conspiracy" whenever Sanjaya makes it past another American Idol round, but it's pretty obvious Heather uses her fake leg as a strategy. Did you hear that story from a year or two ago, when Heather was protesting inside Jennifer Lopez's office for PETA, and when security grabbed her, the leg came flying off? THAT WAS OBVIOUSLY STAGED. And why not? PETA feels they need all the press they can get (regardless of how crazy it gets), and Heather learned from that. She's no dummy... which is why she wore that glaring white band encircling her bum leg last night, instead of a flesh colored one. "Hey everybody, just a reminder... I've GOT A FAKE LEG."
