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

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
