This 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.

I 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?
