So, It Was Sort Of Her Version Of The Sat’s

Compiled By Staff Writer Rick Bo

You may remember reading here how Joey Buttafuoco has moved to California to pursue an acting career.

But things aren’t going quite so smoothly for his former teen lover, Amy Fisher, who’s serving a prison term for shooting his wife, Mary Jo.

Fisher said in Sunday’s New York Times magazine she’s been raped repeatedly by guards at Albion prison, and smuggled out a pair of semenstained panties as proof. A court action is underway to have her transferred.

The former “Long Island Lolita,” 16 at the time of her affair with Buttafuoco five years ago, still insists the shooting was his idea.

“I was so lonely and so scared of my father,” she says, “and here’s this older man (who) tells me I’m beautiful … I was graduating and I didn’t know what to do and he said if I did this he would take care of me.”

Loose talk

Brooke Shields, on boyfriend Andre Agassi (in Cosmopolitan): “I have to fight off the 40-year-old women who are after him AND the 12-yearolds. I told him the other day, ‘You just tell those girls that I’ll beat the (crap) out of every single one of them.”’

His birth, of course, was completely natural

Woody Harrelson turns 35 today.

The question is, how much lower can he go?

Actor Robert Downey Jr. was arrested Saturday for the third time in a month, this time for jumping bail by walking away from a court-ordered drug treatment program. Downey faces drug and weapons charges from a June 23 speeding stop, and trespassing and more drug charges after being found asleep last Tuesday in a child’s bed at the home of one of his Malibu neighbors.

He can always fall back on the family business

Prince Andrew, who was divorced from the Duchess of York (formerly Sarah Ferguson) in May, has announced he will retire from the Royal Navy in 1999, when he’ll have finished his 20-year stint. Said a Buckingham Palace spokeswoman: “He’s looking at his long-term working future. He feels it’s time for a change.”

Sorry, but you’re married to the media for life

And speaking of Fergie, she and the soon-to-be-divorced, Still-the-Princess Diana filed charges against two photographers for trespassing at the secluded estate where they’re vacationing in the south of France.

What, he expects to be treated with kid gloves?

Tom Arnold tells TV Guide that ex-wife Roseanne has gone too far by likening him to O.J. Simpson and saying she “would be dead if I stayed with Tom.” Said Arnold: “I said many stupid things; I did many dumb things. But her comparing herself to Nicole Brown Simpson, who was brutally murdered, is … it’s an abomination. And that hurts me.”

Hey, somebody needs to keep an eye on Nicole

And what’s O.J. Simpson up to these days? During an appearance at a Los Angeles church Sunday, he told the congregation: “I’m not trying to restore an image. I’m not trying to get back what wealth that I lost. I’m trying to do one thing. I’m trying to go to heaven.”
