Report: Potential Reality TV Stars Crash White House State Dinner
Copyright 2009 / Michaele Salahi Facebook
Two aspiring reality TV stars for the upcoming installment of "The Real Housewives" reportedly attended the White House's state dinner Tuesday night without an invitation.

Polo-playing socialites Tareq and Michaele Salahi posted a pic on their joint Facebook of Michaele mingling with Vice President Joe Biden among other photos, but a White House official told the Washington Post that the couple was not invited to the dinner and were never seated at a table in the South Lawn tent.

The couple wrote a Facebook post about the VIP evening, reading, "Honored to be at the White House for the state dinner in honor of India and President [Barack] Obama and our First Lady!"

The publicist for Tareq and Michaele denied that the two crashed the dinner, sending a statement to the Post that read, "The Salahis were honored to be a part of such a prestigious event."

The newspaper contacted the couple via Facebook and asked how they were able to attend the state dinner. Tareq responded, "India is the challenger in the America's Polo Cup World Championship ..., and they are very excited in this first ever cultural connection between being hosted on the DC National Mall since Polo is one of the primary sports in India."

  • Considering the economic depression we are in, it would have more thoughtful for the White House to invite some homeless/unemployed families over for dinner so the kids could get a good meal. I am disappointed in the stardom these modern day politicians seem to crave.
