Heather Mills To Join 'Dancing With The Stars'?
LOS ANGELES (February 13, 2007) -- She still may be in immersed in a heated divorce battle with Paul McCartney, but hopefully Heather Mills still has her dancing shoes.
She's gonna need 'em. According to reports, Heather, 38, has signed on for the upcoming season of ABC's "Dancing With the Stars." She will reportedly donate earnings from the show to an animal welfare charity. When contacted by Access Hollywood, ABC had no comment on the report. A rep for Heather told Access, "I have no word on that. I have no statement at this time."
The new "DWTS" cast will be revealed February 21 on "Good Morning America," where former "Dancing" star Jerry Springer will announce the newbies. Other names rumored to be joining this year's show include Billy Ray Cyrus, Joey Fatone, Danica McKellar, Ian Ziering and Laila Ali.
In late January, Heather's lawyers refuted rumors she had agreed to a $63 million settlement in her pending divorce with Paul. The couple announced their split in May after four years of marriage. They have a 3-year-old daughter, Beatrice. In 1993, Heather lost the lower part of her left leg after being hit by a police motorcycle.

that she delivers.
