Heather Mills Gives Neither Arm nor Leg to Charity

Heather Mills is back in the British ‘bloids for resurfacing on the U.K. skating competition Dancing on Ice. To drum up public support for her latest on-air antics, she has repeatedly boasted that she will donate her appearance fee to charity, telling the audience:

I’m doing this for charity and to inspire all the amputees on my website. After the dancing show in America, I had emails from young amputees asking me to show them how to do things.

She’s also showing them that it’s totally cool to renege on promises she’s made to her favorite landmine charities. At least, back when she received $48.6 million for suckering Paul McCartney into marriage for a couple of years, she was pretty well poised to save her favorite charity, No More Landmines, from going spectacularly belly up:

It was her work with [No More Landmines] which first led to her introduction to Sir Paul McCartney at a charity event, and he donated £1 million to it soon after they married.

But, I can reveal, No More Landmines folded eight months ago. The charity, which in 2007 held more than £200,000, reported an income of just £285 last year.

In interviews to publicise herself, Heather says many of her charities have suffered because of her poor public image and the best she can do for them is dissociate herself.

Odd then that she still hypes No More Landmines as “her cause” on her website if she really wants to dissociate from them. Unless, say, she just wants to be seen as a charity campaigner without putting her money where her mouth is.

Sister, can you spare a dime? If not, care to explain?

    Hahahaha Isn’t the lettering, or font, or whatever, on her shirt the same they used for Norton motorcycles? Do you think she knows that? Isn’t that how she lost her leg?

    In interviews to publicise herself, Heather says many of her charities have suffered because of her poor public image and the best she can do for them is dissociate herself.

    In other words, “I’m essentially the second coming of Yoko Ono, in terms of PR. I’m the kiss of death to any good cause. That’s why I’m busily shoehorning myself into public life as hard as possible, glomming onto every cause I can find. Because DAMMIT NO MORE CHARITIES I HATE YOU PEOPLE LOVE ME WHY CAN’T YOU JUST LOVE ME. And also give me money.”

    Now, Beige, let’s give credit where credit is due. She said something that was true and not completely crazy!

    No I guess it isn’t. But it’s close.

    It’s the first thing I thought of. I don’t know much about motorcycles except Fonzie rode one. He sure was cool wasn’t he?

    Ah, a Deceiver post about Heather Mills! One of my favorite Deceivers, and just as Stan reminds us from a previous post, one of the best examples. I have to ask though, with all that has been revealed about John Edwards lately in the press, why no updated Deceiver post for him , and especially in light of the Andrew Young interview? All the lies! All the two-faced promo he spewed for the poor while dissing them privately to staff. Is it TOO obvious that he is two-faced and famous? He has to be the poster boy for Deceiver. Is there such a title? If so, I nominate him as Deceiver Prom King and heather Mills as his Queen, or princess, or whatever.

    Admittedly Heather has done some despicable things, but people recognize that she’s got to be incredibly gutsy and tenacious to do those skating routines with only one leg. Regardless of what she does or says she is going to do with the money, if she inspires even one disabled kid to skate or dance, she deserves some credit. I mean, what’s her ex doing? Inspiring old men to dye their hair and hook up with women young enough to be their daughters?

    Seriously, McCartney is VERY big buddies with that IPCC fraud Pachauri. They were working together to banish cow farts from the face of the earth by converting everyone to vegetarianism. Has St. Paul owned up to yet another mistake in personal judgment? Both Heather and Pachauri play awfully fast and loose with the facts.

    “Gutsy and tenacious” hardly cancel out “despicable”. Surely Hitler was gutsy and tenacious, as well as despicable. I am sure he set an inspiring example for the short and mustachioed to aspire to greatness, and to go for the gusto! No one is going to take gutsy and tenacious away from Heather. She can skate her little heart out, but she is still a dangerous fraud.
    If you want to start a post about old horny farts that fall for questionable younger women, well, that’s another topic. And a boring one.

    True, AllyKat. Very true.

    Hitler, Darla? Really? Are you comparing Heather Mills to Hitler? Because I’ll tell you, anytime someone drags Hitler into a conversation, reasonable discussion is over. Kaput. Finished.

    Hitler aside–PLEASE–all I’m saying is that no one is all good or all bad, including Heather Mills. She does demonstrate that disabled people can take part in all kinds of activities, and reportedly is a hands-on mother whose daughter thinks she walks on water (fine, insert leg joke here if you must). I hardly think Mills is “dangerous.” She wasn’t even totally at fault for her divorce, an idea which Sir Innocent Victim was more than happy to let the public believe. And then, before the divorce was even final, he’s off chasing more too-young women. “Boring?” Actually, considering the way he always talked up his marriage to Linda and his “down-to-earth” Liverpool values, and the way he’s behaved since her death, I have to wonder what kind of person he really is. Especially since he chose to marry the blonde female equivalent of Adolf Hitler!
