For love or money? That is the question as Joey Buttafuoco and Amy Fisher are planning a romantic rendezvous for tomorrow night.
Fresh from the pen and soon to be single, Buttafuoco will wine and dine Long Island Lolita Amy Fisher over a candlelit dinner at a restaurant overlooking Central Park, The Post has learned.
The pair - whose yearlong affair ended in 1992, when Fisher shot Buttafuoco's then-wife, Mary Jo - plan to meet a couple of times during the week in an effort that TV producer David Krieff hopes will rekindle old feelings. And attract interest in a reality show.
Krieff, who will film the courtship, said Joey will come bearing flowers and a gift.
"If Mary Jo and Amy can be friends, then why can't Joey and Amy be lovers?" he asked.
But Buttafuoco said he has his own agenda - and wants to apologize for his on-camera blowup during their televised reunion last year.
"I need to be able to meet her, to be able to go on," he said. "And if it takes a turn to something else, well, there I am. You never know."
According to Krieff, Buttafuoco has been head over heels about the planned hookup.
He said Joey told him: "I still have feelings for her. I can't wait to have dinner with her. I can't wait to be with her. I can't wait to touch her."
Buttafuoco, citing the off-again, on-again Hollywood romance of Ryan O'Neal and Farrah Fawcett, said kissing and making up might not be so far-fetched.
"God bless them. Maybe I can be like them. If things can happen for them . . ." he said.
Krieff said he arranged the date because Buttafuoco is still hung up on his old squeeze.
"Joey's traveling 3,000 miles," Krieff said. "He still has feelings for her." |
