LOS ANGELES – Not only has Joey Buttafuoco turned Hollywood, he’s gone soft – like ice cream.
“I’ve turned over a new cone, baby!” Buttafuoco told The Post yesterday, explaining his soft-serve business. “I love what I’m doing right now. I have the best soft-serve ice cream in Southern California!”
The 49-year-old Buttafuoco, who made headlines more than a decade ago with his affair with Long Island Lolita Amy Fisher, is now making his living selling “Mister Frostee” soft-serve ice cream on TV lots across Hollywood.
“The stars don’t lie. They keep coming back for more,” boasted Buttafuoco, seen here hosing down his van. The former Long Island lothario declined to drop names of his clientele, but was recently spotted on the sets of “Desperate Housewives” and “Crossing Jordan.”
Ice cream is the latest venture for the one-time mechanic and auto-body man, who needed a new career after pleading guilty last year to insurance fraud.
“We just figured, it’s southern California. It’s always warm and ice cream sells,” said Buttafuoco’s wife, Evanka Franjko.
Life’s not all ice cream for Buttafuoco yet. He still has a parole violation hanging over his head, after investigators allegedly found ammunition in his home.
