Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Did not choose their wedding date for any historical significance ... that is unless they're both huge fans of the Kennedys or the Buttafuocos. Ya never know. We did some research, and the May 19 date of the Royal nuptials has a past that could be labeled rather macabre. It's the date Amy Fisher shot and severely wounded Joey Buttafuoco's wife in 1992. It's also the day the first person died from the bird flu,...

Mary Jo Buttafuoco is speaking out in a new interview — and she has some choice words to say about Amy Fisher, the “Long Island Lolita” who shot her in the face on May 19, 1992.
“You know, it’s been 25 years,” Buttafuoco told Dr. Oz on a Tuesday episode of his eponymous TV show.
“She’s in her 40s now,” Buttafuoco continued of Fisher. “She hasn’t made good choices, that’s her decision. I wish she hadn’t. I forgave her. I forgave her more for me, because again, like I said, when you got this anger and this bitterness you have to say,...

On May 19, 1992, Mary Jo Buttafuoco was shot in the head on the front porch of her home in Massapequa, New York. The shooter: 17-year-old Amy Fisher, a high school student who was having an affair with Mary Jo’s husband, Joey.
Miraculously, Mary Jo survived the attack. She moved on with her life. She divorced her husband in 2003, and began living a quiet life away from the spotlight — except for the occasional TV appearance.
She married Queens businessman Stu Tendle in 2010 — the same year she released a book, Getting It Through My Thick Skull: Why I Stayed, What I Learned,...

Who is Alki David? The eccentric Greek billionaire made news (and late-night monologues) in 2010 when he offered $1 million to any person who streaked in front of President Obama, but he's also the owner of several businesses, including the Internet-based TV provider FilmOn, 9021go.com, modeling agency Independent Models and HologramUSA, which once planned to tour a hologram of late soul singer Amy Winehouse. But he's perhaps become most notorious as the purveyor of streaming video site BattleCam.com, described as "a bizarre playground that’s like YouTube on acid": "For five years Greek billionaire Alki David has presided over this mayhem, issuing potentially deadly dares, paying out huge sums of cash, and enjoying as stars of all kinds dropped by to join in." Does this sound like your thing? Do you get a kick out of watching infamous celebrities like Fred Durst, Kato Kaelin, Amy Fisher, Corey Feldman and Bai Ling do wacky stuff?...

Bippity Boppity…Boo: Branagh’s Fairy Tale for Hire
Does anyone remember when Kenneth Branagh was directing superior cinematic adaptations of Shakespeare before eventually becoming the director known for Thor (2010) and Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit (2014)? Well, in the mix of recent live-action fairy tale adaptations from Disney, he’s scored another cookie-cutter dud with Cinderella, a film so pronouncedly square and resolutely mimed that it could only possibly feel relevant to those severely and distantly removed from the classic fairy tale.
Without any sort of modifications to the culturally prolific tale, whatsoever, we meet a young girl named Ella (eventually played by Lily James), who has rich parents (Ben Chaplin, Hayley Atwell). They’re not royalty, but they are rich, and treat their little girl as perfect as she could be treated. But the mother dies from some kind of a disease, but looks ravishing right till the very end.

“We didn’t get mad, we got smart,” HBO CEO Michael Fuchs said about hitting The Wall, looking back at HBO stalling in 1984 from the vantage of the early 1990s. Actually, a lot of the rank and file didn’t get mad or smart; we’d seen 125 of our friends and colleagues get shown the door when the company had suddenly flatlined after eight years of phenomenal growth, and what we got was scared.
But it’s to the credit of HBO’s execs that whatever anxieties they may have had, they showed no panic or even nervousness in public. Instead, they poured any concerns into energetically and immediately addressing the question of, “What do we do now?” The world we knew had changed and there was no going back to the Gold Rush days of the late 1970s and early 1980s. The company required a humongous...

With stories from the Nsa scandal to Paula Deen’s downfall to the George Zimmerman trial, we’re in the midst of what is already destined to be remembered as one of those great viral summers. It’s reminiscent of the summer media frenzy of 1992, when Long Island Lolita Amy Fisher shot Mary Jo Buttafuoco, Woody Allen bedded stepdaughter Soon Yi Previn, and thousands rioted in Los Angeles after the cops who beat Rodney King were acquitted. But in both cases, the cultural contagion and resulting confusion may have had less to do with the stories themselves than the new technologies through

Joey Buttafuoco says he has been inspired to write a memoir of his affair with the Long Island Lolita, Amy Fisher, after surviving an almost fatal illness. But he warns, not everyone is going to be happy with what he has to say, especially police on Long Island.
“My motivation to write the book is the life-threatening illness I had, diverticulitis. I was bleeding black blood like a dumper on a hot day on a New York City Street. The doctor told me I had 48 hours to live. I was writing things down like a knucklehead on a napkin. I cried for three months trying to recover. I was always the strongest guy I ever knew, emotionally and physically but this took me to my knees.”
Buttafuoco became infamous in 1992 after an affair with Amy Fisher. Now, 20 years later, he’s ready to break his silence. Fisher has released two books,...
