On behalf of my wife, who is (1) an ardent fan of “Dancing With the Stars,” (2) a nearly lifelong fan of Paul McCartney and (3) a fairly sharp observer of the American cultural landscape, I offer the following summation of Heather Mills’ appearance on “Dancing With the Stars”:
Quote:
Heather Mills won’t last three shows. She dragged Paul through a hideous divorce, and you don’t screw over the Cute Beatle and succeed in America. She already has the wooden leg and English accent – give her an eye patch and a parrot and send her on her way!

Q: What’s the difference between Long John Silver and Heather Mills McCartney?
A: One’s a one-legged gold-digger and the other’s out of Treasure Island.
I wasn’t aware it’s my civic duty to look out for Paul McCartney. Last I checked he’s a big boy, and, frankly, I think he’s something of an idiot too. In fact, this is the most I’ve thought about this subject, and it’s the most I’m going to think about it. And you were here to witness it.
I was irritated and amused by her career title, which was something like “Charity Campaigner.” They showed her with some dumbass handdone protest sign that said “Animal Rights, Human Wrongs” or something to that effect that they must have just whipped up.
What, they couldn’t describe her as a “Professional Golddigger”?
Oh how times have changed. Couple of decades ago she wouldn’t have been able to walk the streets never mind appear on a TV show. Yoko found out that you don’t fuck with a beatle.
She comes across in general as a right witch IMO(haven’t seen the TV in question). The majority of celeb watching talking heads in the UK have a very low opinion of her and this was before it all went pear shaped with Paul.
I can see the public turn to her though. Even the CS thread here had people say that she had got their respect even though they wanted to hate her. She might as well look for a TV career/profile in the US and she’s fucked in the UK.
I agree with the above, but will say, as an amputee (wooden leg, but the $70,000 computerized type ) she does have a great message board for amps. Granted, I am not sure if she actually runs it, but it is on her website.
Seriously, I think she will get a lot of mileage out of this - she’ll get a lot of sympathy votes. My husband, who hates, with a burning passion that rivals the sun, these kinds of shows, sat with me and watched it last night. He was a little aggravated she was second to last, but he knows that was just to get people to keep watching.
Not so much that she’s divorcing Paul McCartney but that she’s made all sorts of accusations about Sir Paul.
The view was that she was trying to get more money out of the divorce. Add in that noone has seen her messing with no broke broke and you get Heather the gold digger.
You could always ask her about when she was writing features for The Observer. Oh that’s right, she was claiming responsibilty for stuff that was written by a completely different person with the same name!
Much as I hate to agree with you, I have to. I love Paul to bits, but come on - he’s way, way, waayyy too old to be all gooey-eyed romantic and therefore refuse a prenup. If she only gets 57 million, he’s getting off easy. I still don’t like her much for being so nasty, but that just shows that Sir Cute didn’t do a great job picking Wife # 2.
Is Heather Mills in fact the least “starrish” of all Stars on Dancing with the Stars? I mean, a lot of them have always been C-list celebrities, but she’s not even that. She’s just someone who used to be married to a celebrity.
