Michaele Salahi Kicked Off 'Celebrity Rehab' for Not Being Addicted to Anything
By Mary Phillips-Sandy - AOL NewsThere are just a few key requirements for appearing on "Celebrity Rehab." One: be a celebrity (or at least someone whose name has been in the news for one reason or another). Two: be addicted to something. Three: be able to withstand large doses of Dr. Drew. Seems Michaele Salahi failed to meet the second of these criteria. People reports that the "Real Housewives of Washington, D.C." star has been booted from "Rehab" because she doesn't have an addiction, although she has said she suffers from stress and multiple sclerosis. In a statement released to the magazine, VH1 said that "Celebrity ...
The 'Real' Michaele and Tareq Salahi? New Book Will Tell Alleged Crashers' Tale
By Annie Groer - Politics DailySo . . .Nearly 10 months after Tareq and Michaele Salahi burst onto the global stage by allegedly crashing President Barack Obama's first state dinner, investigative reporter Diane Dimond has whipped out "Cirque Du Salahi: Be Careful Who You Trust." Starting Wednesday, you can wallow in all things Salahi via a $15.99 paperback. Or you can just watch a promo video, complete with ominous music and popping flashbulbs and Salahi photos, which promises "the truth about this most compelling couple. Are they squeaky clean? Not by a long shot." But in screaming red letters, perhaps to echo ...
Bravo Considered Axing 'Real Housewives' After Salahis' Gate-Crashing
By Annie Groer - Politics DailyMichaele and Tareq Salahi's White House gate-crashing last November -- and the possibility of criminal charges being brought against the couple -- almost drove Bravo officials to kill "The Real Housewives of Washington, D.C." Shooting was nearly finished at the time the couple breached White House security without an official invitation. "It was either going to be, we kill the show altogether or we do it with Michaele," Andy Cohen, a Bravo vice president told the New York Times. "Her story from the beginning is so intertwined with the other five that it would not have been possible to cut ...
Michaele and Tereq Salahi Reveal Mom-Dad Lawsuit at Ritz Luncheon
By Annie Groer - Politics DailyPublicity magnets Michaele and Tareq Salahi, who don't actually debut on Bravo's "Real Housewives of DC" until the dog days of August, sat still for a probing hour-long interview Thursday in which the alleged White House party crashers didn't make much news except to reveal his mother is now suing his dementia-impaired father over the family's troubled Virginia winery and "every family has some dysfunction." Oh yes, and they also promised to give free tickets to veterans, while charging everyone else $20 to $100, to attend the Aug. 5 screening party they're throwing for the "Housewives" ...

This Week's Other Salahi Scandal: Party Crashers Turn Nightclub Crashers
By Joe Keohane - Politics DailyAfter remaining dangerously out of the public eye for several days, Tareq and Michaele Salahi turned up in the Washington Post for their antics outside an exclusive DC club late Wednesday night. The notorious White House gatecrashers/dubious philanthropists/soon-to-be reality-tv fameballs rolled up to the club, Eden, in a limo, accompanied by a mini-entourage. They were there to see a special performance by the Backstreet Boys, which is evidently a thing that is still happening. The trouble began when the insolent, low-born cur of a bouncer asked them to pay the $20 door charge like everyone ...

Tareq and Michaele Salahi on 'Inside Edition': The Bleat Goes On
By Annie Groer - Politics DailyBy Friday, the fourth day of what already feels like a years-long publicity marathon, Tareq and Michaele Salahi -- aka the White House gate crashers and federal grand jury subjects -- sought to clarify a few things. "I know who I am and that's what helped me get through all the name-calling, 'fame whore,' and all that," Michaele told "Inside Edition," the celeb-heavy syndicated interview show that aired in Washington on Friday morning. The Fun Couple had gone party-hopping Wednesday night in a stretch limo with the requisite camera crew in tow for a short segment that took the ...
Salahis' Limo Stopped Near White House During State Dinner
By Tom Diemer - Politics DailyIt's sketchy, but are they back? The Secret Service reportedly stopped a stretch limousine carrying Tareq and Michaele Salahi for running a red light near the White House on Wednesday night -- while a state dinner was underway for Mexican President Felipe Calderon, another grand event to which the Salahis' were not invited. ABCnews.com quoted Secret Service Agent in Charge Edwin M. Donovan as saying the limo ran a red light at Constitution Avenue and 15th Street, then signaled "that it was turning into the Ellipse parking area at 16th and Constitution, a restricted area." That's within ...
White House Party Crashers Launch PR Blitz
By not in system - AOL News(May 19) -- Brace yourself, America. Tareq and Michaele Salahi -- brazen White House gate-crashers in the eyes of many, and the world's most misunderstood and maligned presidential invitees in their own minds -- have kicked off a nationwide ubiquity tour, presumably to gin up interest in their newest vehicle to fame if not fortune, Bravo's "The Real Housewives of DC." ...
