Not to worry, America: Marie Osmond says she's feeling just fine after collapsing on Dancing with the Stars Monday night.

"It's nuts... I feel bad that it happened!" she tells Entertainment Tonight in an interview posted on its site Tuesday.

"Right at the beginning… I started getting light-headed," she adds. "And the only thing I could think of [is] I have allergies, there's almost half a million people being evacuated, the air quality is terrible -- and I just couldn't get my breath."
