| 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." |

| #12 Hmm. Must be a slow day in Iraq or something. Can't even make up stories about innocent civilians or something? How's the search going? Any schools built lately? Ahh, too boring. No blood. Silly me. |

| #10 I'ma hoping that restaurant's food has botulism issues. And we've got a hot contender for Rantburg's Snark of the Week Award™. It's nice to note that I am not alone in viewing this abortion of entertainment as yet one more searing indictment of America's ever-diminishing attention span. Let's take a quick inventory; A philandering rectal cavity and murderous adultress. This sort of moral vacuum could pump down a deep-space simulation chamber. Both of these worthless shits should have gone over the event horizon of being newsworthy within seconds of their debut. Here's hoping that this travesty by producer David Krieff winds up looking like "Ishtar" on his resume. |

| #8 And attract interest in a reality show. Anybody looking forward to a reality show featuring these pathetic, sorry loser's might best do themselves a favor and shoot themselves in the friggin head. And I wonder if TV producer David Krieff feels the need to shower about every thirty seconds? |

| #1 Thought this pairs 15 minutes were up long ago. Hey news people, aren't we fighting a war? Didn't something important happen like Mullah Dadullah buying the farm, and Al Qaeda being chased out of Al Anbar? Naaah, those thigns dont fite your agend of "USA/Bush Losing", and this sells more detergent ads. More America's Military goes to war and America goes to the the mall. I am so f**king tired of this. |
