Osmond Takes Header on "Dancing With the Stars"

Besides nasty judge critiques and surprising voting results, "Dancing With the Stars" usually remains tame in the drama department. That changed last night when dance competitor Marie Osmond fainted on stage during the live broadcast.

Osmond, clearly out of breath after dancing the samba with her partner Jonathan Roberts, was listening to a critique from judge Len Goodman when her eyes rolled back into her head and she collapsed to the stage. While several audience members gasped, others laughed thinking it was possibly a skit. Host Tom Bergeron quickly called for a commercial break as producers turned the camera away. Check out the video here.

Reuters reports the actress/singer received medical attention backstage while the show literally did go on. She's all right now, having just fainted after she couldn't catch her breath.
