THE LEFT LANE
Bad girls bashing

Tonya Harding and Paula Jones face off tonight on "Celebrity Boxing."

Associated Press

Paula and Tonya are ready to rumble.

Paula Jones, who sued President Clinton for making unwanted advances, will face off against discredited skater Tonya Harding, a former Olympic contender, on "Celebrity Boxing," a Fox special tonight. The network is billing the bout as "the battle of the bad girls." Also on the special, former "Brady Bunch" star Barry Williams will be pitted against Danny Bonaduce, once part of TV's "Partridge Family." (Amy Fisher, the "Long Island Lolita," dropped out. Jones is taking her place.)

The third match-up pits Robert Van Winkle (Vanilla Ice) against Todd Bridges (Willis on "Diff'rent Strokes"). The network said the fights will be real, each lasting three rounds.
