 | | Heather Mills Wants Lots of Money | | |  |
Former model, Heather Mills thinks it will be "hilarious" if her false leg falls off on US TV.
Heather - who wears a prosthetic limb after losing her left leg below the knee following a road accident in 1993 - recently joked about the implications of dancing with a fake leg.
She said: "I'm quite happy to be thrown around. It's unlikely my leg is going to fly off, although it would be quite funny. I don't want to give anyone in the audience a heart attack."
The beauty adds that, she is suffering from blisters on her partly-amputated leg following intense training for 'Dancing with the Stars'.
Heather, the estranged wife of Sir Paul McCartney, is a contestant in the US TV talent show and the grueling training sessions have caused blisters on her amputated limb.
A source told Britain's Closer magazine: "Heather has been through hell recently and it's great for her to focus on something other than her daughter and the divorce.
"But the show's rehearsals have left her in a lot of pain.
"The sores are especially bad where her leg joins her prosthetic limb, but she's determined not to give up."
Meanwhile, Heather Mills is reportedly in talks to play Mary Poppins in the hit musical.
It has been reported that Heather has met with theatre producer Cameron Mackintosh to discuss joining the show
later this year.
Heather will need to perfect her singing and dancing skills for the role.
A source told Britain's Daily Star newspaper: "Heather is very, very
ambitious. She has no shortage of self-belief and thinks she can tackle the
part, even though she has never really had any singing experience. Cameron
obviously believes Heather has what it takes."
Heather has always insisted her disability isn't a barrier to getting what she wants.
If Heather does win the role - made famous by Julie Andrews, 71, in the
much-loved Disney film - she will be performing at New York's Majestic New
Amsterdam Theatre.
A source said: "It'll be a big gamble casting Heather as Mary Poppins. But
theatre-goers are bound to be curious to see her flying high above the stage
clutching an umbrella."
In other news, Heather Mills is demanding £10,000 a day in her divorce from Sir Paul
McCartney.
The 39-year-old reportedly needs £3.5 million a year just "to get by", but
is willing to accept a one-off settlement of £40 million for a "high-speed"
divorce.
Paul, 64, claims he is worth considerably less than the £825 million fortune
he is alleged to have and is refusing to meet Heather's demands.
A source told Britain's The Sun newspaper: "Heather is making extremely
large demands considering the brevity of the marriage. Paul wants to be as
generous as possible but his fortune has been grossly exaggerated. He is
certainly worth considerably less than the £825 million figure in The Sunday
Times Rich List. The real figure is probably closer to £500 million."
Paul and Heather attended a private hearing in London's High Court last week
which examined Heather's claims that Paul was physically violent towards her
during their four-year marriage.
The former model emerged "grim faced" from the London court, sparking
reports her claims had been thrown out.
Heather returned to court on Tuesday (06.03.07) for an emergency application
said to involve the couple's three-year-old daughter Beatrice.
She represented herself during the 30-minute hearing, but refused to reveal
what had been discussed.
