CRASHING THE PARTY
Michaele & Tareq Salahi: The Real Whores Of Washington, D.C.
MICHAELE AND TAREQ SALAHI CANCELLED THEIR INTERVIEW WITH LARRY KING LIVE, apparently holding out for money like the sucking vultures that they are.
Aren't they the living example of the real Real Housewives of Any County U.S.A.? The fact that most of them are poseurs? Just some nouveau riche who use profanity in public, flaunt their many shoes and handbags and never neglect to tell you how much their yacht cost?
We were promised the lives of socialites when the series was first buzzed about. Real ladies who lunch exposing their inner lives. That faded fast as we saw that all we were exposed to were price tags and boob jobs of people we’d never heard of.
The Salahis have taken the famewhore game to a whole 'nother level though. Their situation is both scary (how do you get that close to the president uninvited) and awesome (they got to meet the president!).
But as the Los Angeles Times' points out, "Social climbing is as American as cherry pie."
When I saw them posing with Fergie, VP Biden, Rahm Emanuel and others, I was not surprised to find out that they wanted to be reality stars. But I was surprised that it was the Housewives of D.C. that they were gunning for with their stupid stunt.
Although Michaele wore a beautiful sari and Tareq was all tuxed up, it seems they are being sued by their own family and their home is in foreclosure. And the couple are reportedly involved in more than a dozen lawsuits.
Tareq’s parents, Corinne and Dirgham, have said they’re being forced to sell off the vineyards to pay back more than $1 million in debts racked up by their son and his wife.
Despite it all, the New York Daily News reports the couple are still under consideration for the show. Bravo, I don’t think I want to see any more of this couple.
