The ShamWow guy...made a movie?!?

Vince If you loved the Slap-Chop guy's nuts, then chances are you'll love his movie.

Vince "ShamWow guy" Offer (we soon learned his real last name is Shlomi, thanks to his arrest record for fighting a prostitute) was one of the minds behind the infamous Underground Comedy Movie, a lame attempt at a Kentucky Fried Movie-style film that will live in infamy for reasons other than its attempt at comedy.

You might remember the film (or you may not want to) from the late night infomercials and commercials that aired for it back in the late '90s and early '00s. The film has a long and sordid history full of more litigation and despair than an E! True Hollywood Story, assuming that Vince Offer has not yet become the focus of an E! True Hollywood Story.

Amy Fisher and Buttafuocos to talk it out -- UPDATE

Amy Fisher Pay per viewThis just goes to show how much we don't care about Amy Fisher or Joey Buttafuoco. Last week, Joel told you how producers were shopping around a show where Amy, Joey, and Joey's ex-wife Mary Jo meet on national television. For all you youngsters out there, Amy Fisher is known as the Long Island Lolita. As a teen-ager in the 90s, she had an affair with Joey Buttafuoco and then shot Joey's wife. It became a media circus and there were no less than two made-for-tv movies about it (one starring Drew Barrymore). Someday I'll tell you about Lorena Bobbitt.

I don't know about you guys, but when I heard about this reunion, I was picturing a Jerry Springer-style throw down complete with hair pulling and body guards pulling a flailing Mary Jo off Amy and Joey. Instead, the cast of the Long Island Lolita will play second fiddle to mostly-naked girls in the Lingerie Bowl on Super Bowl Sunday. And, Mary Jo isn't even going to be there! Amy and Joey will meet face-to-face to toss the coin to start off the Lingerie Bowl, which is pay-per-view. Hmmm... something tells me Amy and Joey won't be the reason people will be paying to watch the Lingerie Bowl.

Amy Fisher and the Buttafuocos to talk it out on TV special

Amy Fisher on the Today showI just heard a tidbit about this on the Howard Stern Show this morning, but this article confirms it in print.  According to the New York Post, former Long Island Lolita and current author Amy Fisher, her older paramour Joey Buttafuoco, and Joey's ex-wife Mary Jo will reunite for a television special that is being pitched around to networks as we speak.

As you remember, in 1992 the teenaged Fisher shot Mary Jo in the head while she was having an affair with Joey, who is 18 years her senior. During the special, Joey wants to ask Amy why she shot her then-wife, but I'm sure Amy has a few questions for Joey, too.  Like, for instance, did that big gut of his come from too much manicotti or too much beer?
