...sexual harassment was only Fox's second choice to compete on its show Celebrity Boxing. But aside from concerns that she might damage her reconstructed nose, Jones was only too willing to step in after Amy Fisher's parole officer forbade her to participate in the bout against TONYA HARDING. It would seem Harding and Jones haven't watched many professional boxing weigh-ins, where taunting is the norm. Instead, the two interacted warmly when they met before their slug fest. The March 13 bill will also pair Todd Bridges of Diff'rent Strokes against rapper Vanilla Ice, as well...

...Linda Richman would once have said, Celebrity Boxing was actually neither celebrity nor boxing. Given the matchups - Danny "Danny Partridge" Bonaduce vs. Barry "Greg Brady" Williams, Todd "Different Strokes" Bridges vs. Rob "Vanilla Ice" Van Winkle and Tonya "Kneecaps" Harding vs. Paula "Kiss It" Jones - it would better have been called "Didn't You Used To Be a Celebrity? Boxing." And the pugilism was more like flailing than boxing (plus, with 16-ounce gloves strapped to the fighters' hands and cushiony sparring helmets on, nobody was likely to emerge too bloodied) but then, nobody was tuning in for a grand...
...brought down a president was running away from Harding, seemingly in tears. To her credit, she made it to round three, when she miserably asked for the fight to be stopped - while Harding came up and popped her anyway, in the back of the head. The crowd booed, but Tonya's probably immune to that by now, and she accepted her win with what was probably the closest to graciousness she's ever come: "I knocked her down a few times," she said. "That's all that matters...
Because cockfighting and dwarf tossing are illegal, Fox has devised another way to lure viewers: Celebrity Boxing. In a prime-time special to air March 13, Long Island Lolita AMY FISHER, above, will duke it out with former Olympic skater TONYA HARDING. It's hard to know whom to put your money on in this fight. Fisher did time for shooting ex-lover Joey Buttafuoco's wife, but Harding was once arrested for assaulting a boyfriend (not to mention that whole Nancy Kerrigan business). The two will go toe to toe in one of three taped bouts on the evening...
