Joey Buttafuco: Ice Cream Connoisseur

[Blackend]

Joey Buttafuoco is bringing a whole new level of desperation to the Desperate Housewives set.

The man at the center of the '90s era "Long Island Lolita" case can be found manning a studio lot concession stand, serving up frozen treats to the casts and crews of Housewives and Crossing Jordan, Inside TV magazine reports.

Buttafuoco, 49, made national headlines in the early 1990s after his 17-year-old girlfriend, Amy Fisher, shot his wife, Mary Jo, in the face, leaving her severely injured and partially paralyzed--an incident that provided the inspiration for no fewer than three made-for-TV movies.

The first small-screen reenactment, Amy Fisher: My Story, starred Noelle Parker in the Fisher role and provided a rundown of events from the lovesick teen's perspective. The second, The Amy Fisher Story, starred Drew Barrymore in the title role and examined the incident from the public's point of view. The third, Casualties of Love: The Long Island Lolita Story, starred Alyssa Milano as Fisher, and provided the Buttafuoco family's version of events.

The real Fisher was convicted of reckless assault in 1992 and served seven years behind bars. She has since married and had two children and has gone on to become a successful writer, as well as an active crusader for prisoners' rights. Her tell-all book of her experiences, If I Knew Then, was published in 2004.

Buttafuoco, a former auto shop mechanic, pleaded guilty to one count of statutory rape and served four months in prison. Hoping to capitalize on his newfound infamy after his release, he and Mary Jo moved to California to pursue show biz dreams and later divorced.

Last year, Buttafuoco was sentenced to a year in jail and five years of probation after pleading guilty to auto insurance fraud. In August, he was charged with illegal possession of ammunition and pleaded not guilty.

The mechanic turned ice cream man, who reportedly charges $250 an hour for his Mister Freeze services, is said to be working on a screenplay based on the events of his life.


This guy just won't go away, will he? I mean, come on, his last name is Buttfuck for crying out loud! And he's a chimo!
