LOS ANGELES, Calif. (October 22, 2007) - Marie Osmond collapsed during the taping of Monday's "Dancing With the Stars."

After she finished the samba with partner Jonathan Roberts, Marie was listening to judge Len Goodman's critique when she passed out and hit the floor.

The show immediately cut to commercial during its East Coast airing.

After being attended to, Marie came to and told the crowd she fainted because she wasn't breathing during her dance.

"I forget to breathe. I'm fine thank you," she said after getting back to her feet, drawing rousing applause from the audience.

Marie went on to joke she was sleeping on the job.

As she awoke in the middle of the floor to find herself surrounded by a group of people looking over her, Marie's first words were, "Oh crap," according to an Access Hollywood producer on the set.

Backstage, her publicist told Access Hollywood, "She's OK, she just doesn't breathe."

Marie was treated by a medic and is doing fine.

When the show finally came back from commercial, host Tom Bergeron said Marie was fine, as the camera flashed to her backstage. Although she seemed a bit out of it, she was smiling and appeared well, as Jonathan stood behind her supporting her.

"She is a trooper indeed," Bergeron said on camera.

I just keep thinking back to an old cartoon I remember seeing as a child - you remember those ones - with violence and stuff (before they edited out being hit on the head with a pan).

Any way this one had these two cats or dogs or something and one was very smart and clever and one was big and dumb. The big and dumb one would start turning help and scream at his friend - help me! The smart one would slap him in the space and say "You forgot to breathe again dummy."

Marie looks good for having 8 kids...

ya i just assumed it was all the exercise and stuff

Roberts got a hard-on and she saw it through his pants.

Marie is caretaker/parent for 8 kids; however, she didn't give birth to 8, not that this matters alot. You still get run pretty ragged either way. She gave birth to one child from her first marriage. After her divorce, she remarried and then gave birth to 2 more. Later on, they adopted 5 more together.

I believe that Marie had lost quite a bit of weight during and just prior to the epsiodes starting..perhaps 40 lbs.

Marie looked good last night, but her days on the show are numbered...

I don't know - she has about a billion family members that vote for her and that's what has kept her on the show. She is not bad, but she is certainly not nearly as good as those that have been kicked off the show before her.

yay i remember that! those cats were the archetypal for sylvester i think. butch and boyd.

the stupid one would accidentally kill his partner and say "i've been a baaaddd pussy cat"

She's been on a diet and has lost 30 pounds...

I believe it was on dancing with the stars or some other crappy show like entertainment that said she fell from a 10 to a 4 - she can't be a 4, I mean she lost a lot of weight, but I am a 2 and she is certainly more than one size bigger than me.

Rumor also has it that she was the only dancer star that had her own personal writer while she was on the show feeding her lines. There was even one rumor that stated she staged the fainting - I think that is a bit of a stretch even for big headed celebrity though.

What did you think of MelB's accent?

Loved it.

You're little Linkat.

She can't be a 10, I'm a ten. I think she went from being an 18 to a 14, maybe a 12 with a corset.

Yeah - but I'm short too or the proper word petite. Anyway I was thinking the same thing - she was pretty big when she started and did lose quite a bit, but a 4 right. Probably all her "people" told her she was a 4 to kiss up.

Fat weighs less than muscle.

How can that be? A pound is a pound - be it a pound of bricks or a pound of feathers. If people are muscular they might not look as blubbery, but weight is weight.
