Mary Jo Buttafuoco Decides Which Criminals Are 'Joeys'

Mary Jo Buttafuoco has found herself once again in bed with an abusive monster... adapt her story into a made-for-TV movie.

2008_03_amyfisher.jpgLong Island Lolita Amy Fisher has been happy to talk about her sex tape, her DJ-ing career, and her current life to pretty much any and all press. But throw in a question from the daughter of Joey and Mary Jo Buttafuoco, you don't get Amy.

Yesterday we mentioned Amy Fisher would be at Retox last night deejaying for her sex tape party. She hit the club with a statement she claimed to have written herself, after tossing aside the one her publicist wrote. She did this after, she says, she was edited to look bad on her Good Morning America appearance...despite her plastic surgery and leopard-print fur vest, shocking!

  • The Gotham Book Mart is closing and having a going-out-of-business sale.

  • If one is dumb enough to write in for "apartment therapy", one is dumb enough to paint over exposed brick. We hope this couple's ouija board doesn't recommend installing wall-to-wall shag carpeting, because we will go over there and exorcise the place ourself.

  • Rosie O'Donnell was bilked out approximately $70,000 by someone passing stolen checks from her production company account. It was nearly a non-story until we read the culprit's Mom's reaction: '"He's a very good boy," Mitchell said. "This is out of character."'
  • A portion of the East Village was left waterless after a water main break flooded 2nd Ave. Do you live on 7th St. between 2nd and 3rd Aves.? Send us your pics!
  • The NY Post can only pray so hard: are Amy Fisher and Joey Buttafuoco back together as a couple? Shot-in-the-face-former-wife Mary Jo doesn't care and we applaud her indifference.

Joey Buttafuoco and Amy Fisher are going on a date and it is going to be filmed. Fifteen years ago, the two came to the public's attention after a year-long affair between Buttafuoco and a then-teenaged Fisher culminated in Fisher shooting Mrs. Buttafuoco in the head on the front steps of her house. Mary Jo Buttafuoco miraculously survived the head shot and Fisher was soon dubbed the Long Island Lolita. It was a tabloid tale of epic proportions at the time, and the story apparently still has legs.

  • We're not sure who should be most offended by this: Muslims for having their traditional dress scorned, Elizabeth Wolff, whose editor forced her to dress in a chador all day and then write about it, or NY Post readers, who will soon be asked to fork over an extra quarter to read articles like this.
  • Heads up for the young ladies: Joey Buttafuoco has been released from prison, again. If you're a woman too young to know who Joey Buttafuoco is, we are talking to you.
