Get Yer Michaele Salahi Action Figure

Kate Torgovnick/Kate-Book.comSeptember 24, 2010 //

On this week’s “Real Housewives of D.C.,” Michaele Salahi brewed up a new controversy. She claimed that she was once a Washington Redskins cheerleader and headed to a rehearsal for an alumni performance. Several of her castmates called BS—as did Terri Lamb, the president of the Redskins Cheerleaders Alumni Association. Lamb said, “We have no record that she ever was a Redskins cheerleader. She was listed on our 1991 roster at Ms. Salahi’s request and based on her misrepresentation to us.” Michaele says that the mix-up comes from the fact that she was actually a cheerleader in the ’80s—she tried to change the roster to make herself appear younger. But wait, I feel like we’ve heard this one before.

Meanwhile, a Michaele action figure is now for sale. And, apparently, she’s the one who pitched the idea. Keep reading »

The Salahis are finding themselves unwelcomed once again. Reports are saying that the couple have not been invited back to season two of “The Real Housewives of D.C.” Bravo was hoping the attention surrounding the gatecrashing twosome would bring high ratings to the show, but now the network suspects that Michaele and Tareq are turning viewers off the series. I guess there is such a thing as too much self-promotion. [PopEater]

After the jump, other housewives who found themselves booted out when it was time for a contract renewal. Keep reading »

Quotable: Michaele Salahi Shares Her Lucky Charms And Salad Diet

Kate Torgovnick/Kate-Book.comAugust 19, 2010 //

“I’m a skinny girl. I always was. I’ve never had an eating disorder in my life. And it hurts to be called anorexic … I start the day with a hot chocolate and cereal—I love Lucky Charms or Kashi GoLean—then some fruit. I don’t really eat a lot in the middle of the day. I have an early dinner, which is always a salad, with plain chicken, grilled or broiled … Honestly, I can’t believe those women have so much time to devote to my weight. If they get out there and move, they will look like me and be thin, and it’ll all be good.”

—Michaele Salahi of the “Real Housewives of DC” defends herself against rumors of anorexia and spills what she eats in a day. Wait, so she consumes about 600 calories every 24 hours? I dunno, that sounds like an eating disorder to me. [Celebitchy] Keep reading »

Michaele Salahi And Shandi Sullivan Could Have Been Separated At Birth

Kate Torgovnick/Kate-Book.comAugust 16, 2010 //

This weekend, while catching up on “The Real Housewives of DC,” I couldn’t shake the feeling that I’d seen Michaele Salahi before, and not just from the White House party-crashing incident. The big, curly blond hair, the beaked nose, the thin, willowy frame. And then it hit me. She looks almost identical to Shandi Sullivan, from season two of “America’s Next Top Model.” If someone told me that Michaele had Shandi as a teenager and gave her up for adoption, I would totally believe them.

Jessica WakemanJune 15, 2010 //

Just as we suspected! Bravo officially confirmed today that Michaele Salahi, one of the White House party crashers, will star on “The Real Housewives of D.C.,” debuting August 5. Michaele, a blond socialite straight out of Central Casting, and her husband, Tareq Salahi, grabbed headlines internationally when they breached security at President Obama‘s first official state dinner. It turns out Bravo cameras were following the couple that night for the “Real Housewives” TV show. (The Salahis insist they were invited to the event). It was an embarrassment for the White House and Obama’s Social Secretary Desiree Rogers later stepped down. But no matter! Crazy people make for entertaining TV and that’s what matters, right?
