Michaele Salahi has been located and it turns out she wasn’t kidnapped after all, as her husband Tareq had feared, just having an affair with Journey guitarist Neal Schon.

Yesterday, Salahi had alerted the news media that she “may have been kidnapped or abducted and being held under duress” and called upon the public to “be on the look out for her, and if found please contact the authorities and please approach her and contact the authorities to intervene and that she may be forced to say she is okay, when in fact she is not and being held under possible abduction.”

Tareq Salahi has contacted the press to alert them that his wife, Michaele, has been missing for more than 24 hours and he fears that she has been kidnapped. He explained to TMZ that she called him last night from an unknown number last night and said she was going to her mothers. Thinking that odd, he contacted the mother who said she had no knowledge of the plan. He explained that he was going to the press because he doesn’t feel the local police are taking the matter seriously enough.

Michaele Salahi, my seventh favorite product from Bravo’s “Real Housewife” franchise, is back! She’s a pop singer this time, which is great, because now everyone will most certainly forget about the time she and her husband crashed a party at the White House.

There’s not much I can say that competes with actually watching Salahi’s performance.

The Washington Post offered an interesting little tidbit about Michaele Salahi, the woman best known for 1) crashing the White House’s 2009 State Dinner and 2) being filmed crashing the White House’s 2009 State Dinner on Bravo’s The Real Housewives of DC. According to the paper, Salahi was inspired to pursue a career in pop music by none other than Oprah Winfrey.

There’s an awesome bit of pop culture trivia! Only… it ain’t true.

Oh, those Salahis. Always showing up where they don’t belong. Of course, going to a party at the White House when you don’t have an invitation is one thing. Who wouldn’t want to go to a White House party? However, going on a reality show for people suffering from drug addiction when you’re not actually addicted to anything? Yeah, that’s kind of taking it a step too far.

Yesterday after a taping of The View, Whoopi Goldberg got into a screaming match with guest Michaele Salahi and her husband Tareq after Michaele accused the host of hitting her. Goldberg responded to the allegations on the show this morning and readily admitted to using some “choice words” with the publicity-loving couple. She also showed video which proved that she never hit Michaele which is weird because we all know that the Salahis would never ever lie about anything.

In a totally unrelated note, the clip below ends with a statement from the Salahis’ lawyer once again stressing that they were invited to that White House party.

Ah, the Salahis, they’re just universally beloved, aren’t they? Michaele Salahi was on The View with the cast of whatever stupid show she’s in (yeah, I’m just gonna put the “Columnist” tag on now, ok) and was not well received. After a brief on camera altercation with Whoopi Goldberg, Salahi and her equally ridiculous husband got in a fight with The View host and are now accusing her of attacking Michaele. I’m going to side with Whoopi. Not because I have any facts. Just because I like to side with people who have actually managed to contribute something to humanity during their time on earth.

Hooray for the “Columnist” tag!

The infamous White House party crashers, Michaele and Tareq Salahi, are now planning the one thing they have left to do: write a book. According to the New York Post, the couple is writing a tell-all book “about the security breach that sparked a national furor.”

Confirming what many believed was an inevitable outcome, Bravo will announce today the first season of Real Housewives of D.C. will debut August 5, and Michaele Salahi is part of the cast (and her husband Tareq Salahi is part of the show too).

What may surprise some, but not the cynics, is the Salahi’s White House crashing was filmed for an episode, and will be part of the show too.

Today Michaele and Tareq Salahi were on MSNBC to talk about their latest run in with the Secret Service. Considering all the rumors that the Salahis will be starring in a series on MSNBC’s sister network Bravo soon (coincidence!: they also showed up on the Today show this morning), the Salahis were probably expecting a puff piece interview. But that is not what MSNBC’s Lynn Berry gave them. Things got very uncomfortable, very quickly.

David Carr’s latest New York Times column, “Reality TV’s Glare Hits High Office,” has more zingers than Obama has photo ops, as he suggests the president scale back on the “oversharing.” The White House-crashing Salahis are after reality TV fame, but the Obamas have it locked down. But in his criticism of the “Celebrity in Chief,” isn’t he forgetting an important player — namely the press club he’s a valuable member of?

Looking back over the last few days at the events surrounding Tareq and Michaele Salahi — the Virginian couple who crashed last week’s White House state dinner — it’s hard not to wonder whether we haven’t just witnessed the invention of some brand new type of reality game show: extreme reality. Unlike Balloon Boy all signs point to the Salahis wanting to be caught. Now they get to tell their story to the Secret Service.

Some media outlets see the news that socialites Michaele and Tareq Salahi were able to get past state dinner security and even snap photos with President Obama as an alarming sign of poor security, some find fault with the Obama administration itself, and some think that the whole affair is funny. A poll: where do you come out?

An uninvited couple crashed President Obama’s first White House state dinner Tuesday night breaking through layers of security. The couple, according to the Secret Service, are Tareq and Michaele Salahi, they are also reportedly being considered for Bravo’s TV show “Real Housewives of D.C.” The security breach is sure to be fodder for the late night talk shows, but raises some rather significant concerns over White House security detail.
