Fame! Puts You Where Things Are Hollow

So all you have to do is crash a formal dinner at the White House in order to complete your audition for a popular reality show franchise and of course score a paid TV appearance on one of the major morning network shows. Unfortunately we are now familiar with the faces of Tareq and Michaele Salahi. Those are not names that will necessarily inspire any casting director so I guess they did what any fame seeking loser couple would do - CRASH A STATE DINNER AT THE WHITE HOUSE. Never has the words to David Bowie's 80's hit FAME made more sense than now. It looks like America's "Most Uninvited Guests" are almost guaranteed to star in the newest installment of the Real Houswives series, which will be set in D.C. What a Shocker! They are reportedly under contract with BRAVO, the network reponsible for the Houswives. That explains why they chose NBC as the place to air their dirty laundry. NBC and BRAVO go hand in hand so doing one is like doing the other. They canceled their appearance on Larry King and fielded offers from ABC and CBS but the Salahis demanded to be paid a lot more than they were worth. An investigation is now under way to help solve the mystery of how they managed to swindle The Secret Service and smuggle themselves into an ultra exclusive event. It will be interesting to see how things unfold in the weeks to come. I for sure will be watching!
