He still loves his old ball and chain.

Despite e-mailing a mystery woman to find out about his pole-dancing wife’s Twitter feed, jailed fraudster Kenneth Starr’s “love and affection” for ex-stripper Diane Passage remain “undiminished,” his lawyer said yesterday.

In court papers, defense lawyer Flora Edwards denied prosecution claims that Starr’s jailhouse computer correspondence raised a “risk of flight” if he’s released on bail pending sentencing.

“Indeed, the fact that the [unidentified woman] made a few disparaging remarks regarding Mr. Starr’s wife should neither disqualify her as a surety nor is it probative of any change in Mr. Starr’s relationship with his wife,” the Manhattan federal court filing says.
