Buttafuocos, Amy Fisher Plan TV Reunion

NEW YORK - More than a decade after 16-year-old Amy Fisher had a sexual relationship with a much-older car mechanic and shot his wife in the face, the one-time "Long Island Lolita" and Joey and Mary Jo Buttafuoco have agreed to appear together in a televised reunion.

All three have signed on for the appearance, which has yet to be sold to a network, television producer David Krieff told the New York Post for Monday editions.

"It's time to just put it behind us," Fisher, now 31, told the newspaper. "We played this all out in a public eye. It'd be interesting to let the public see the healing process at the end. They saw everything else — why not let them see the final product?"

Fisher spent seven years in prison.

Joey Buttafuoco, who was jailed for statutory rape following the 1992 shooting, said he planned to ask Fisher to explain her actions.

"I've been asked about a million times by Mary Jo, `Why did Amy shoot me?' I was never able to get that answer," said Buttafuoco, now 49.

"There's going to be a lot of shocking revelations, and that's why I'm excited to sit down to do this," he said.

The Buttafuocos moved to California and divorced in 2003. Mary Jo, who remains partially paralyzed from the shooting, is engaged.

Joey Buttafuoco, who has remarried, was sentenced in March 2004 to a year in jail and five years' probation after pleading guilty to felony insurance fraud. In August, he pleaded not guilty to charges that he violated probation by possessing ammunition.

I think Joey would get his a** handed to him.

I found this rather shocking. They stayed married even after the shooting? Very strange.

Hey,the Menendez brothers both have wives...and Die Schlickfrau is still with that piece of trailer trash...

But then,we know that it's always been about power for Die Schlickfrau.

They should have done this ten years ago -- when people still remembered who these characters were. Now, I bet most people are scratching their heads and asking themselves: "Amy Fisher . . . Amy Fisher . . . Who is that? Is she related to that crazy chess player who goes on those anti-Semitic rants overseas and gets himself in trouble with the IRS?"

Amy Fisher - Where is she now?

She claims she was raped by correctional officers in prison, filing a 220 million dollar lawsuit to that effect. She dropped the suit in 1999, she was released from prison that same year (probably just a coincidence ;)

As of 2003, she works as a columist for The Long Island Press, created a home based business selling arts and crafts and cares for her 3 year old son.
She married her longtime boyfriend and father of her son in 2003, whom she met online at match.com

September 04: Amy releases autobiography If I Knew Then, appears on Oprah, and single-handedly crashes the WEHT.net server and causes the biggest, longest slowdown on WEHT.net ever (3 days and counting, sorry folks, please bear with)

update Feb /05 Amy Fisher gives birth to baby girl.

"It's time to just put it behind us," Fisher, now 31, told the newspaper

"So I'm going to rehash it all on network TV. Where's my money?"

Sheesh...must miss TV

I could swear that, while writing her newspaper column, Amy said she had plastic surgery, looked nothing like she did before, and no one there where she worked knew who she really was.

From the "You just can't make this stuff up" department.

Well, millions of brain dead people disappointed that the West Wing has been cancelled now have something new to look forward to.
