Marie Osmond briefly collapses on ‘Dance With the Stars’

Well you can’t beat live TV for drama sometimes.  Marie Osmond fainted on-camera Monday while listening to the judges critique her after her Samba performance.  They quickly went to commercial and I think everyone that was watching wondered if the show would go on.

The 48-year-old singer and mother of eight appeared to be just fine by the time the show came back from commercial break, with host Tom Bergeron informing the audience that Osmond’s first words upon awakening were, “Oh, crap.”

“Once in awhile that happens to me, when I get winded and I stop breathing,” she explained backstage. “I’m so sorry.” 

As it turned out her dance was not well received by the judges and she was tied for last place with Mark Cuban this week placing her return in jeopardy next week.
