Today seems to really have just two themes, in terms of celebrity gossip. Crazy people and sex tapes. Though to be fair, that tends to be how most days are in the celebrity world, it’s just normally not so obvious. In slightly more random “celebrities,” remember Amy Fisher, the Long Island Lolita? Well she’s got her own sex tape. It turns out she recently reconnected with all-around catch Joey Buttafuoco. He’s the mechanic who she dated as a sixteen-year-old in the early nineties, and then shot his wife Mary Jo in the face.

Fisher’s husband filed for divorce and released their sex tape in retaliation. The pair have reconciled, and instead of going through the hassle of getting the tape removed from circulation, Fisher chose to just take some cash and roll with it.

When Amy Fisher publicly rekindled her romance with Joey Buttafuoco, her then-estranged husband, Lou Bellara, released a sex tape of himself and Fisher in retaliation. The sex tape video has already been leaked all over the net and is number one in porn tape downloads, so Amy Fisher has decided that instead of fighting a losing battle, she is going to make the best of the situation and endorse the sex tape so she can make some money.

“My husband, you know, released this. And you know what? It’s out there. I have two choices. I can sit there and say, it doesn’t exist, which it does exist, you know. Or I can do the intelligent thing.” Which for Fisher means making the best of the situation and making money.

Well, I guess there’s something to be said for just going with the flow. I had no idea that Amy had hooked up with Buttafuoco again. Two years ago Entertainment Tonight or the Insider (they all blend together anymore) did some really annoying series of interviews where they brought Fisher and Buttafuoco together for the first time and taped their ranting confrontations. They managed to stretch it out into segments over two weeks or something. Apparently hiding under all that anger was a lot of love… or a lot of psychosis. I can’t really blame Fisher’s husband for being pissed. It really is making the best of the situation: now they have her bail money for the next person she shoots in the face.
