Holy misleading headlines! The New York Post posted an article two weeks ago, with a headline that Bravo was “testing the waters” for infamous White House party crashers Michaele and Tareq Salahi. The pair was being followed by a production company filming scenes for the upcoming Real Housewives of Washington, D.C. the night they crashed a VIP dinner at the White House.

Many of you sent me the link to this incredible story of Michaele Salahi, future “potential” cast member of Real Housewives of Washington, D.C., crashing President Obama’s super VIP state dinner with her husband (pictured right) and just strolling in like she owned the joint. Forget foreclosures, naked pictures and married boyfriends: this shit just got REAL.
And, even better, a Bravo camera crew went with them (they weren’t allowed inside) to potentially document the couple hob-nobbing with …read more
