JOEY AND AMY GET MUSHY

TALK OF MARRIAGE & GIGGLE: 'WE'RE FUN!'


By CATHY BURKE


RELOADED FOR LOVE: Joey Buttafuoco and his now legal Lolita, Amy Fisher, give each other a juicy smack at dinner last week.

May 20, 2007 -- Hottie Long Island Lolita Amy Fisher and her aging auto-body hunk, Joey Buttafuoco, didn't just have dinner last week - they kissed, canoodled and carried on like it was 1992.
The infamous mismatch that neither a bullet to a spouse's head, prison time, divorce court, 3,000 miles nor 15 years could break up is more than heating up.
There's even a hint that the two might eventually wind up at the altar, the TV show "The Insider" reports in an interview with the reunited couple airing tomorrow through Wednesday.
"We're dating," proclaimed Fisher, who was all of 17 when she shot Buttafuoco's first wife, Mary Jo, in the head while having her illicit affair with the then-38-year-old Joey.
"He doesn't kiss all his friends like that," Fisher told "The Insider."
At their not-so-secret date last week at the swanky Pace's steakhouse in Hauppauge, L.I., Joey tenderly reached out for his finally legal-age love and planted a big wet one while confiding, "I'm happy."
Fisher told the TV show, "We know we're unconventional and a lot of people think it's sick and strange. We're very hesitant about what people think. We care about what people think. We're nice people. We're a lot of fun."
She added: "We're going to start off slower than we did last time - although not too slow."
It has been a long, strange trip for Fisher, now 32, and Buttafuoco, 53.
She served seven years in prison for shooting Mary Jo - yesterday was the 15th anniversary of the bloody assault. Buttafuoco did four months for statutory rape. Since then, Fisher got married and is now in the middle of a divorce, while Buttafuoco divorced Mary Jo and married a second time, but that union is also on the rocks.


He has also gone to jail three more times for various run-ins with the law, including soliciting a prostitute.
Yet this new/old love of theirs is for real, they insist.
"Stunt for what?" Buttafuoco fumed during the TV interview. "I could walk out of my home in California and everybody follows. I could be in Hollywood, I could be in Vegas, and it's going to happen."
He said it was not about the money - well, not all about the money.
"I don't need the money," he declared. "I'm really OK emotionally, physically and financially. But if the money comes along with the reality show that they're talking about, fine. I think we'll have an incredible show. It will be a wild show."
America needs a good love story, Fisher claims - and so what if they're sharing their relationship with the world?
"I love it, so I would do it," she said of the idea of a reality-TV show. "We have so much fun. He's so funny. People don't know that."
"We have dynamite dynamics," Joey quipped.
Though at first the couple demurred that they were both "going through things in our own lives and we're friends," Fisher and Buttafuoco finally realized something after their night out on the town, they said.
"We have a bond," she said.
"We're working on it and taking things one day at a time," he reiterated.
After all, why would Buttafuoco fly all the way from L.A. to New York?
"I didn't come . . . to have a good dinner," he said. "I flew in to have dinner with you and to continue . . . We're friends now."
The dinner, his comely date added, was "very nice . . . with a lot of wine."
And, yes, the kiss. "There might have been one or two," Fisher allowed.

"I was really just glad to be there," Buttafuoco said. "She's absolutely beautiful, and I was really glad to be there."
She said their bond was unmistakable, even after 15 years and a near-fatal shooting.
"I think once you date people, you [may] not see them for a long time but you always feel something when you look at them and you like that person," she said. "He flew here for sparks. He's getting a divorce, I'm getting a divorce, people talk - and, all right, we're dating!"
He echoed: "All right, we're dating!"
No matter what the world thinks, it's clear the attraction is still strong between this couple that some people love to hate.
"I enjoy talking to Amy; I really do," Buttafuoco said. "I like being friends with Amy."
Fisher said the date had been a long time coming.
"We started talking a few years ago," she said. "He called to apologize, and he kept calling and calling."
Buttafuoco said, "She kept hanging up and hanging up. The last time we tried to make something happen, the last time we spoke, I was a really big ass and off the hook with it, so I wanted to apologize to her.
"A year ago I was really angry. I had a medical situation, and I was on heavy meds. I needed to release that part of my past and have some closure on it."
He was referring to his meltdown aimed at Fisher during a reunion "The Insider" staged last year among the participants in the doomed love triangle. "That's very painful for me," he said. "I feel really terrible about it. I reached out to her from jail because I needed to put it behind me . . . I was looking for closure.

"Mary Jo claims to have closure, and Amy obviously has done well with it, and I can't move on until I release it and see where the future goes."
Buttafuoco said his kids - now 27 and 24 - are old enough to handle the romantic shift. Fisher has two small kids of her own.
Buttafuoco said he believes his former teen honey is definitely different.
"I don't believe for one second that Amy is the same person she was 15 years ago, even five years ago," he said. "I just don't believe it, or I wouldn't be here. It's as easy as that."
"Insider" interviewer Lara Spencer posed the question: Would they ever consider getting married?
"It might be a bit overdue," Fisher said.
Buttafuoco added, somewhat hopefully: "We'll take it one day at a time, but yes."
"He might not be dependable, but people change," Fisher said.
And besides, she added, "I'm going to help him now."
Quizzed by a peanut gallery of housewives from New York City, Fisher and Buttafuoco also revealed that she doesn't want more kids after having two with her estranged hubby - but that he does.
"I think I would enjoy children at this age, kind of raise them differently," Buttafuoco said.
As for Mary Jo, who was disfigured in the shooting, she's moved on. She now goes by her maiden name, Connery, lives in California and runs a small business with fiancé Stu Tendler, called OriginalPartyPosters.com, which designs posters.
"Why do we like train wrecks? Why do we like to watch? Why do we slow down when we go past an accident scene? It's the nature of the beast, I guess," Mary Jo Connery told ABC's "Good Morning America" last week.
Her ex-husband's motivation? "One word: money. Money!" she said. "Joe has lost everything. He doesn't have a business. He's been in jail more times than I can count. He has nothing. There's nothing in his life, and he's hit rock bottom - and so this is what he does."

Whats messed up is that I actually knew both these people. Joey swore on his wife's life that he never had sex with Amy. Amy was a whore since she was 13.
