LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - An online gambling site is taking bets on whether Heather Mills' artificial leg will fall off during her upcoming appearance on "Dancing with the Stars."

Mills, 39, the estranged wife of Beatle Paul McCartney, lost her left leg below the knee in a traffic accident in 1993. She is the first contestant on the hit ABC television show to compete with an artificial limb.

A week before Mills' March 19 debut, Antigua-based gaming site http://www.bodog.com opened bets on whether her prosthetic leg would fly off during a dance routine -- and made "no" a heavy favourite.

The site added that Mill's leg "must fall off, not be purposely taken off, during a dance routine for all Yes wagers to be graded a win."

Mills, a former model, has been upfront about her unique challenge. "It's very very unlikely my leg's going to fly off even though it would be quite funny to knock one of the judges out," she told U.S. celebrity TV show EXTRA last week.

"I'm hoping to show people that even with a prosthetic leg you can dance," Mills said.

Mills will be paired with professional dancer Jonathan Roberts on the dance contest show. Other celebrities in the season starting March 19 include female boxer Laila Ali, the daughter of Muhammad Ali, country singer Billy Ray Cyrus and Olympic speed skater Apolo Anton Ohno



I think the betting on bodog is a bit distasteful and perhaps they should remove and void all bets.

They won't actually be taking any bets on this.

They simply draw up a market on something in the news which then gets reported as a 'news story', when in fact it is simply 'free advertising'.

Over here it's known as the Paddy Power strategy...

she's still shunning the limelight then

Its hard to feel sorry for her really when she says she is doing it to prove even people with one leg can dance but what she really means is $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$!

and here was me thinking this thread was going to be whether snatiramas was going to wear these shoes to BB4!!!!! ;)

But what counts as 'distasteful' is completely subjective... if you ban/remove everything that some people find offensive, there would pretty much be nothing left in the entire world.

For example, we all like making jokes about, say, welsh people, or women drivers.  I would miss those in your overly-PC world.

I think they're just hoping someone will pick the story up and run with it, post it on a forum or two etc.... ;)

Yeh at least none of us blondes have added to it!  ;shame;

I've tried to make up my mind on whether it's unfair abuse on a brave woman overcoming her handicap, or just a bad taste gag, but I'm stumped.

lmao

I will be going one further than heather and will be trying to play legless poker at Blonde Bash 4. Its to show all the alcoholics out there, yes you can play poker and still get wrecked.

What price it comes off?
