Heather Mills: I'm Worried About Next Week
She's made it with all limbs in tact after two weeks, but blonde amputee Heather Mills says she "terrified" of performing on next week's "Dancing with the Stars." That's because next week, contestants will be asked to jive their way through the competition. Jiving, a fast-moving, energetic form of swing dancing, has got Mills concerned. Says the estranged wife of Paul McCartney, "Im worried about next week; I've got to do the jive -- you try and hop on a leg that's like concrete and the other leg bounces up and down like a trampoline."
Mills wowed watchers this week when she and partner Jonathan Roberts worked a back flip into their routine and eked out a score of 18, keeping them safe, while fellow competitor and model citizen Paulina Porizkova was axed.
Ashlee Gives Mayer the A-OK
What's good for the Simpson goose is good for the Simpson gander: On Friday, an Ashlee Simpson pal told People magazine that Jessica's younger sis thinks the big-headed college-rock crooner is "great" for Jessica. "Ashlee loves John. She thinks he is great for her. More importantly, Jess is happy." People also reports that Jessica pal and fellow pop tart Christina Milian also put the stamp of approval on the budding romance, saying, "Clearly this is a relationship that's not for the cameras. It's not about celebrity. It seems like they truly have an attraction to each other, and they're both clearly very talented as well."
Earlier this month, Mayer and Simpson took a romantic trip to Rome. They were spotted most recently canoodling out and about in L.A.
Alec Baldwin Supports Our Troops
Even though he doesn't support the war in Iraq, actor Alec Baldwin does support our troops. Page Six reports that after reading an article about a high school senior who enlisted to serve in the Middle East, Baldwin "wanted to do something to help her." So the "30 Rock" star is helping pay Army Pvt. Resha Kane's college tuition. Resha Kane, says Baldwin, reminded him of his own daughter Ireland, and though he's dead set against the war and the president, Baldwin says, "This isn't about politics. Regardless of my political positions, I've always had genuine admiration and appreciation for the troops."
Baldwin initially wanted to make an anonymous donation, but the family chose to publicize his good deed. "It's very generous," said Resha of Baldwin's support. "Actors have all this money, and it's a good thing to see them do something other than for themselves and show some character and use their money wisely."
