Whatever one could say about Marie Osmond's dancing on Dancing With the Stars (and one could say that, in this picture, she appears to be responding to the question, "Who here's crazy?"), she was a crowd pleaser. Sure, most of that crowd was in Utah and retirement homes, but still.Ever the show biz trooper, Marie overcame fainting spells, the death of her father and the blistering comments of the judges (not as bad as she really deserved, though ... I mean, did you see this? She may have been a major star back in the day, but nowadays she reminds me of that overweight girl in high school who tried out for all the musicals but always ended up doing props). Nevertheless, who could have foreseen that she of all people would be the breakout star of this season's Dancing? With her brother Donny (who you just know will be on the show next time) stumping for her on Entertainment Tonight (which should just rename itself Osmonds Tonight and get it over with) and her visit to Oprah, little miss "I'm a little bit country" is everywhere these days.
And now she is invading your homes ... that is, if you shop on QVC. Yep, it didn't take long for Marie to trot out some of her perky-yet-slightly-freaky-looking collectible dolls inspired by her stint on the nation's ballroom floor. At about 100 bucks a pop, you too can own her porcelain likeness clad in a sassy salsa ensemble or even her "controversial" freestyle finale fiasco. Alas, the so-called "fainting doll" has already sold out. But don't get too upset; it doesn't actually faint when you, like, pull a string or something.
