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.

    Honestly i cannot believe Marie has made it this far. She should have been axed. Case in point to cut Jennie Garth and keep her on!? What in the world goes through the minds of ppl doing the voting? Even more sickening is all the publicity stunts she pulls to dredge up her votes. From her fainting on the show and her son in rehab bit how far will she go.

    Everyone don't even answer to Charles F. He is not thinking at all. Some men just have to put woman down. He needs to grow up and shut up. If you don't like Marie than why do you keep commenting. Go in a room and chill out.

    she was probably starving herself to fit into that costume...THAT'S WHY she fainted. But I still feel sorry for her. Her life has really sucked up until now. she had her life stolen from herat a young age & she can never get that back.

    For the younger of you, Marie was absolutely THE BOMB back in the day. She was young, beautiful, talented, and danced her tail off every week on the Donnie & Marie Show. She & her brothers are known as the "one shot" Osmonds because they ALWAYS got the perfect track & dances for the show down the 1st time they ran tape. And as far as I'm concerned, Marie is STILL Perfection.
