Recently the two were spotted having dinner at a Port Jefferson, Long Island restaurant. Both have separated from their spouses less than a month ago. Amy separated from her husband with whom she has two children and Joey from his wife of two years, Evanka.

In April of this year, Joey Buttafuoco was released from jail, he was charged with illegal possession of ammunition. Oddly enough, like his ex wife Mary JO; the current Mrs. Buttafuoco stood by her man's side during his incarceration.

Amy Fisher dubbed the Long Island Lolita; made headlines nearly 15 years when she shot the wife of her much older lover in the head. The tale of a 17 year old girl, prostitution, a 36 year old mechanic and a victimized forgiving housewife gripped the nation. Three television movies were made about their dysfunctional relationship.

Fisher was released from prison after serving seven years for attempted murder. Mary Jo Buttafuoco, (Fisher's victim) whose face is partially paralyzed played a key role in Fisher's early release. Mary Jo and Joey finally divorced in 2003 after 26 years of marriage.

In recent years the players of this real life soap opera have made talk show appearances and 'reunited" on more than one occasion. Mary Jo mentioned on Oprah that she suffers from nerve damage and blurred vision

So now Amy and Joey are making the tabloid rounds displaying their "friendship". Not only is this a slap in the face for Mary Jo, but also all the women who have been brutally victimized because of the actions of their spouse.

Are they really dating or is this just a stunt for an upcoming reality show? To answer that; I say WHO CARES! They both are tacky individuals who have NO concern for their children what so ever. I can not imagine the words Amy uses to tell her children about her "relationship" with Joey. If a reality show does come from this madness just imagine the impact on Joey's adult children and Amy's small children.

Yep, Pigs in a Blanket would a fitting name for a show based on those two.
