The estranged wife of Paul McCartney will be "Dancing with the Stars" when the ABC competition returns next month.
On "Good Morning America" on Feb. 21, talk show host and former "Dancing With the Stars" cast member Jerry Springer announced the men and women who would be on the hit show's new season.
Heather Mills will be the first contestant with an artificial limb. She lost a leg in a motorcycle accident in 1993.
Springer told ABC that Mills may be the sentimental favorite -- even though her favorability ratings from some Beatles fans may put her on a par with Yoko Ono.
Other dancing contestants include Olympian Apolo Anton Ohno, boxer Laila Ali, former country star Billy Ray Cyrus, former 'N Sync member Joey Fatone and former "Beverly Hills, 90210" star Ian Ziering.
The ABC Television Network said the hit series "Dancing with the Stars," is coming back with a two-hour premiere on Monday, March 19 from 8 to 10 p.m. EDT.
Viewers will see two weeks of the performers in action before voting and the first results show will air in week 2. The second performance show, airing Monday, March 26, will also be two hours long.
The first results show will air Tuesday, March 27 at 9 p.m. EDT.
Don't mind me, I'm just here to see the snarky replies to this post....:)
What's she going to dance - the hop?
/sarc
ABC must be scraping the bottom of the bucket to resort to her...
Change her name to Eileen for the show?
Want me to make you some popcorn while I fix some for myself?
She doesn't have a leg to stand on.
She can do the pogo!
How's that for snarky?
Trying
Trying
Trying
Nope, don't care.
Sounds great - I'll whip up a batch of margueritas while you pop the popcorn! This is gonna be fun!!
Heather's specialty is The Pogo!
Nah, Peg.
Just think of the skit Monte Python could have come up with this...
Why would there be snarky comments?
I like the show and will enjoy the dancing...
She only scored 50% on the Hokey Pokey....
I guess she'll be doing the Thames one-step?

She can't kick about that gig.
You put your right foot in... you put your... oh never mind.
Mills must've been practicing the Texas one-step
Golddigger ping.
Nobody can accuse her of having two left feet.
Let's hope the tiebreaker isn't an arse kicking competition.
Why are there mean comments about Heather Mills? So, she is divorced from Paul..?? but to comment on her disability is mean.
There are mean comments about her because she has only one leg and she just entered a damn dancing contest. Jeez.
Very funny!!!
She'll have a leg up on the competition, that's for sure.
Change her name to Eileen for the show?
or neal if she injures the real leg.
She's much better suited for water ballet....
Heather's specialty is The Pogo!
Give her an eyepatch and she can do the pirate shuffle.
I hear Orkin has signed on as a new sponsor for the show.
Do you know how she actually lost her leg? If you knew more about her, you'd probably chime in with comments too. It's hard to dig up pity for someone like her.
Peter Cook: Uh, Miss Rigby? Stella, my love? Would you send in the next auditioner, please? Thank you, my dear.
[Enter Moore, grinning broadly, wearing trench coat, hopping on one leg, the other leg -- the left one -- tucked under the coat - he hops over to Cook and shakes hands.]
Peter Cook: Nice to see you.
Dudley Moore: [still hopping up and down] Nice to see you.
Peter Cook: Settle down. [puts a hand on Moore's shoulder and stops his hopping] Uh, Mr. Spiggott, is it not?
Dudley Moore: Yes, Spiggott's the name, acting's my game.
Peter Cook: I see. Spiggott is the name and acting is your game.
Dudley Moore: Right.
Peter Cook: If you'd like to settle down for one moment, Mr. Spiggott.
Dudley Moore: Certainly, yes.
Peter Cook: Thank you very much. [Moore hops over to the chair and rests his "stump" on it] Mr. Spiggott, er, you are auditioning, are you not, for the role of Tarzan?
Dudley Moore: Yes.
Peter Cook: Uh, Mr. Spiggott, I, uh, I couldn't help noticing -- almost immediately -- that you are a one-legged man.
Dudley Moore: Oh. You noticed that?
Peter Cook: When you've been in the business as long as I have, Mr. Spiggott, you, uh, you get to notice these little things, almost instinctively.
Dudley Moore: Yeah. Sort of ESP.
Peter Cook: That kind of thing, yes.
Dudley Moore: Mm, yes.
Peter Cook: Now, Mr. Spiggott, you, a one-legged man, are applying for the role of Tarzan.
Dudley Moore: Yes, right.
Peter Cook: A role traditionally associated with a two-legged artiste.
Dudley Moore: Yes, correct, yes, yes.
Peter Cook: And yet you, a unidexter... are applying for the role.
Dudley Moore: Yes, right, yes.
Peter Cook: A role for which two legs would seem to be the minimum requirement. Well, Mr. Spiggott, need I point out to you with overmuch emphasis where your deficiency lies as regards landing the role?
Dudley Moore: Yes, I think you ought to.
Peter Cook: Perhaps I ought, yes. Need I say with, uh, too much stress that it is in the, uh, leg division that you are deficient.
Dudley Moore: The leg division?
Peter Cook: The leg division, Mr. Spiggott. You are deficient in the leg division to the tune of one. Your right leg I like. It's a lovely leg for the role. As soon as I saw it come in, I said, "Hello! What a lovely leg for the role!"
Dudley Moore: Ah!
Peter Cook: I've got nothing against your right leg.
Dudley Moore: Ah!
Peter Cook: The trouble is -- neither have you. [delayed applause] You, uh, you fall down on the left.
Dudley Moore: You mean it's inadequate?
Peter Cook: It is inadequate, Mr. Spiggott.
Dudley Moore: Mm.
Peter Cook: In my view, the public is not yet ready ...
Dudley Moore: No?
Peter Cook: ... for the sight of a one-legged Tarzan swinging through the jungly tendrils, shouting "Hello, Jane."
Dudley Moore: No. No, right.
Peter Cook: But don't despair, Mr. Spiggott. I mean, after all, you score over a man with no legs at all. By one hundred percent.
Dudley Moore: Well, I've got twice as many.
Peter Cook: You're streets ahead!
Dudley Moore: So there's still hope?
Peter Cook: Of course there is still hope, Mr. Spiggott.
Dudley Moore: Ah!
Peter Cook: I mean, if we get no two-legged character actors in here within, say, the next, oh, [checks his wristwatch] eighteen months, there is every chance that you, a unidexter, will be the very type of artiste we shall be attempting to contact with a view to jungle stardom.
Dudley Moore: [likes the sound of that] Jungle stardom.
[Moore gets off chair, shakes hands with Cook while hopping up and down.]
Peter Cook: I'm just sorry I can't be more definite at this stage.
Tony Manero: You make it with some of these chicks, they think you gotta dance with them.

I used to call the show "Dancing with the 'tards" appears that I am now not to far from right
This story has leg.
If Heather pulls this off, she should be ranked with the greats.
Hopefully she is good. Knock on wood. LOL
I don't think someone should make personal comments on someones disability no matter how the injury happened.
Looks like this thread is not for me.
LOL!! Oh, gee it took me a while to get it tho.
One of the funniest comedy duos ever.
You are sooooo bad.
So Sammy Davis Jr, sporting a new wooden eyeball, comes up to Heather and asks, "Would you like to dance?"
"Would I!"
"Peg leg!"
I was thinking the same thing. she'll probaly do about as well as the one-legged man at the a** kickin' contest.
lol!
I thought of that joke, too!
(But wasn't brave enough to post it...)
;-)
I recall after divorcing Donald Trump, Ivana started doing model shows. A venue she too wouldnt be caught dead doing while still being Mrs. Trump.
