‘Skating’ star in fight

Kristy Swanson pressed assault charges Sunday against the ex-wife of her companion and former “Skating With Celebrities” partner, Lloyd Eisler, the actress’s representative said.

Police took pictures of bruises on her back and other parts of her body to document injuries Miss Swanson claimed she got during a scuffle with Mr. Eisler’s ex-wife, Marcia O'Brien, on Friday in Canada, Michael Sands, Miss Swanson’s spokesman, told Associated Press.

However, Miss O'Brien filed a complaint against Miss Swanson first. Miss Swanson told People magazine she was arrested Saturday night for reportedly assaulting Miss O'Brien. Miss Swanson, 37, said she was released after posting bail in Kingston, Ontario.

Mr. Sands said Mr. Eisler and Miss Swanson were in Kingston to visit Mr. Eisler’s children and discuss custody with Miss O'Brien.

Mr. Eisler, 44, a former world champion pairs skater, and Miss Swanson met in 2006 while filming the Fox reality series “Skating With Celebrities.” He left his wife for Miss Swanson, whose film credits include “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” and “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.”

Emmy for ‘Teenarama’

“Dance Party: The Teenarama Story,” which chronicles the bygone days of the District’s long-lamented teen dance show on the old WOOK-TV (Channel 14), received the 2007 Emmy Award from the National Capital Chesapeake Bay Chapter of the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences on Saturday.

The documentary, which was produced by WHUT-TV (Channel 32) and distributed to PBS by American Public Television, received television’s highest achievement award in the Documentary-Cultural category.

The awards ceremony took place at the Ritz-Carlton and will air on DC Government Television (Channel 16) on Comcast Cable in the District.
