White House Crashing Salahis to debut in “Real Housewives” starting Aug. 5

(HMG) – In another case where outrageous inappropriate behavior seems to be the ticket to reality TV stardom, White House party crashers Tareq and Michaele Salahi appear to be set to crash a living room near you. The social-climbing Virginia couple used their White House gate-crashing escapade last November to raise their profile, with the side-effect that their prank ultimately cost presidential Social Secretary Desiree Rogers her job.  But that’s part of social climbing right?

The were last seen refusing to answer questions from members of a House panel about how they got into President Barack Obama’s first State Dinner. “The Real Housewives of D.C.” will be debuting on Thursday, August 5 at 9 p.m. — with Washington’s favorite White House state dinner crasher Michaele Salahi on board as a “real housewife.”  Bravo cameras were on hand as the Salahis arrived for that ill-fated White House event, and the couple has now been fully embraced as the focal point of the series, which was set to premiere in July originally.  Michaele and Tareq Salahi’s crashing of Obama’s dinner party won’t be shown until near the very end of the first season of the show according to the Washington Post.
