Paraphrasing from Paul's 1971 song, "3 Legs": "My dog, she got one leg, but she can dance (with the stars)"
Does this wonderful specimen of humanity forget that her own daughter's last name is McCartney?

MILLS PLANS GAS ATTACK AGAINST PAUL MCCARTNEY
It's an ill wind that blows no good for ex-Beatle Paul McCartney.
According to British tabloid The Sunday Mirror, estranged wife Heather Mills is "secretly planning" a cartoon series called The McFartneys.
The title says it all... almost.
In a bid to humiliate McCartney, the show will depict Sir Paul "as a crude Homer Simpson-like slob who spends all day smoking pot and breaking wind," the paper said.
The show reportedly places Mills in a heroic role as a supermom taking care of business and her family.
However, Paul's children Stella, James and Mary are also made fun of.
One planned episode is said to spotlight McCartney's late wife Linda -- who died from breast cancer in 1998 -- as a ghost.
Mills thinks that changing the McCartneys' names slightly will give her license to come up with the bizarre plotlines, The Sunday Mirror said.
"This shows the lengths Heather Mills will go to in her attempts to blacken Paul's name," a source told the paper. "She wants it to be a cross between The Simpsons and South Park, and reckons it will get cult status. She'll clearly be sadly mistaken.
"She's saying the series will expose everything that has gone on and goes on in the McCartney family, all under the guise of the cartoon characters. But most of it has been dreamed up and cast from her skewed imagination."
Mills has set up a company named Raspberry Fields to produce the series. It's a parody of the Beatles' 1967 hit "Strawberry Fields Forever." Raspberry Fields was set up last July 3, two months after she and McCartney separated. Heather Mills is listed as the company director; her sister, Fiona Mills, 36, is secretary.
On June 28, the same company that owns Mills' personal Web site registered the domain names mcfartneys.co.uk and mcfartneys.com, as well as variations on the two names.
Mills has been speaking to several American television companies and has viewed several animators' show reels. "She has been desperately trying to keep the idea secret while she hunts for the right person to bring the characters to life," The Daily Mirror reported.
"She has spoken to Sex and The City creator Darren Star and Hollywood director Dennis Erdman about which networks to approach and who may be interested in the series," the tabloid's source said.
"Her backup, if no one will take it, is to produce it for the Internet, because she knows that even if the networks are too afraid to go up against Paul, people will tune in to it. She's looking at the work of different animators. The companies she's been looking at don't know it's for her at the moment, or what the project is.
"The trouble she's already finding is that people are reluctant to be in a show which sends up a legend like Paul McCartney."
Added the source: "The McFartneys will all get names similar to the McCartneys. So Heather will be given another flower name. This way the viewer will be able to work out who is meant to be who."
The cartoon will be sure to anger Paul McCartney, the source observed. "If there's one thing that will upset Paul, it's having Linda and his family brought into their divorce battle. He's very close to all his children and won't like this one bit.
"Most people are already saying they don't want to be associated with the project -- but with Heather's money after the settlement, it will definitely be made. It seems like Heather's whole life is geared towards getting revenge on Paul and getting as much money out of him as she can."
