Heather Mills, the hated estranged wife of Sir Paul McCartney, made her debut on “Dancing with the Stars” last night. Heather wears a prosthetic leg, but it was impossible to tell from the great way she danced. I watched an interview (link leads to video) where she claims her motivation is to inspire other people with lost limbs to get out there, and I disliked her a tad less. Then I saw the footage of her dancing and I wanted to wipe that smug look off her face. I hope she gets voted off soon. That’s great that she’s willing to dance on TV with a prosthetic limb and all, but I still think she’s a lying conniver.

Heather has been criticized for calling the police to her UK home 4 times in 24 hours. She was said to be crying wolf over the paparazzi that follow her, and the police are annoyed.

She has also been dropped by PETA from future campaigns as they strive to maintain the support of her beloved estranged husband, Paul McCartney. Heather recently broke into a pig farm in Britain to film an expose about how nursing and pregnant pigs are forced into cramped conditions, called “gestation crates” or “farrowing crates.” Industry experts wonder what her motivation was, as gestation crates are being phased out and will be outlawed in the EU in five years.

Heather is universally hated in the UK and seems to be trying to create some sort of US-based media career for herself by appearing in the American version of Dancing with the Stars. People say she’s really dancing on eggshells and needs to manage her image carefully.

There was a story earlier this month that Heather accepted a secret settlement from Paul in the amount of $48 million plus an $8 million mansion in exchange for agreeing not to seek sole custody of their three year-old, Beatrice. She is not barred from writing a book or disclosing information about her marriage to the famous ex-Beatle. This would be substantially less than the 1/2 of Paul’s $1.6 billion pound fortune she might presumably fight for, and it is thought that she was afraid of certain porny prostitute aspects of her character coming out in a divorce dispute. It is unknown if that story is true as it originated in British tabloid News of the World, which had a similar settlement story in January.

Here are pictures of Heather trying to free the nursing pigs. The farmer busted her and the film crew and told them they were bringing disease into the farm and he would sue for trespass. I feel sorry for the pigs and all, but did she need to do this?
