Congratulations, Michaele Salahi. You’re getting written about on EW.com. Why? Because you’ve announced that you’re auctioning off that red sari you wore when you (allegedly) crashed the White House state dinner last November. You’ve told the AP that you’re planning on putting the outfit on the block around the time your infamous door-busting gets screen time on that show you’re on, The Real Housewives of D.C. (Alas, we don’t know yet which blessed episode that will be.) I do applaud you for using your fame-whoring publicity-stunting elevated public profile to contribute to two excellent causes: victims of the Haitian earthquake and people with multiple sclerosis.
So now that you’ve set your mind to doing something admirable, how’s about you follow it up with another good deed? By which I mean: removing yourself from the public eye. Going away. Waving bye-bye. Come on — I know you have it in you to do the right thing. Think of the children!
Great post Missy. I’m making the effort to avoid Bravo at all costs now since they’ve put her on television. I hope advertisers follow the same mindset.
I’m shocked they were never arrested.
Uh, I’m so tired of everyone acting all high and mighty about Bravo casting this woman. It’s reality TV. The only way you get to be sanctimonious about it is if you’re not watching ANY reality TV at all.
that would be me and most of the sane intelligent people in the country who don’t watch. SO deal with it. Guess I get to sanctimonious as I want.
Oh and reverse snobbery-what you are doing is sanctimonious as well.
Put me on Mount Sanctimonious as well, I’ve never watched “reality” TV. Who cares about a bunch of fame-whores stabbing each other in the back.
Oh wow, people who still think it’s succinct to put “reality TV” in quotation marks are just huge hits at parties. I should have reserved some of my vitriol for the people who really do think they’re better for not watching any reality television at all. My point was larger…I’m a huge fan of almost all shows Bravo and I find it funny when fans of RHONJ suddenly decide to boycott the DC version because of the gate-crashing incident. It’s really all the same. I think wasting time condemning this version when you like the similar antics of Orange County or Jersey is silly. I don’t feel the need to explain my love of these shows to anyone. I’m secure enough in my intelligence that I don’t have to waste energy and fun pontificating about the fall of society caused by reality shows.
LOL! Love this post. That sari probably has cooties, anyway
Missy, never post, even for charity, about these fame whores.
REALLY? This post is insane.
First of all, I believe she was invited, because it would be impossible to get through 3 security check points in the white house without an invitation, WITH A CAMERA CREW FOLLOWING YOU AROUND. Dont you think they would stick out a little bit??
Here she is, donating something to charity, and your trashing her? I think the writer of this article is trash. Im sure the kids in Haiti who will benefit from this “fame whore” will be very glad to have drinking water because of her dress.
Oh gosh. Get over yourself.
Don’t you think you’ve done enough by not paying people you owe.All the nerve.
I bet you believe the Easter Bunny is real as well.
she was on the view this morning with the rest of her dc castmates and the hosts of the view clearly hated her because she was so strange. he doesnt answer any questions, just throws them back in your face for asking. hello? its their show and you knew that when you agreed to appear, they can ask you whatever they want.
furthermore, the other dc housewives clearly hate her too.
Aw, stuff your saris in a sack!
Right.
Michaele should donate the rag to the Smithsonian. That would be a lasting gift. No one trusts her to do the right thing.
Give it, and I mean give (no tax deductions — nothing) to any agency that can turn it into a cause for good.
Mostly, I’d like to to see it (the sari) and Michaele removed from the public stage.
That’s actually not a sari. A sari is 6 to 9 yards of fabric that cover over the petticoat and blouse. What she’s wearing is a choli-suit (aka lengha-choli). Also, I’m assuming they claim to be rich and that is definitely not a high-end choli-suit at all, nor is it a new style (although it is ‘classic’)… You could see far prettier ones at a wedding or even a 16th birthday party!!! My guess is she borrowed it from someone.
good to know. i recently went to India for the first time and i found the clothes so beautiful. i wish i could’ve afforded some of the more beautiful tunics and saris.
Glad that was useful! If you live in an area of the States or Canada(i’m assuming you’re in North America) where there is a high indian population, you can try the local Indian boutiques. They sometimes have gorgeous saris, punjabis, & choli-suits on sale! I just got two beautiful saris for me and my mom, only $20 each in ATL!
This story is so sari.
Thank you. She deserves to be put in jail, not rewarded with a “reality” show.
Who’s the bigger idiot? The fame mongering whore or the writer who feeds her addiction by creating this “story” in the first place?
thank you! thats basically what i tried to say above.
This really isn’t anything new. She announced the same thing on Australian TV back in February. I suppose she didn’t get enough publicity then, so now 6 months after the fact, she’s saying it again.
Just now she added an additional charity to Haitian earthquake victims. [The latter was all they mentioned on Australian TV, apparently because that was the "cause de jour" at the time.]
If it is anything like their [the Salahis'] past “charitable” endeavors, such as their “Journey for the Cure Foundation [currently under investigation by the Commonwealth of Virginia], most of the money will be claimed as “expenses” in the form of their own meals, travel, entertainment & bounced check bank fees, with little, if any $$ actually going to the purported “beneficiaries” of their proclaimed “selfless” acts.
Just makes me sick.
That shameless, social climbing, I will do anything to be famous, dead-beat wants you to “Come join DC’s MOST FABULOUS Magazine, star of Real Housewives of DC/Commander in Chic – MICHAELE SALAHI and invited cast members of the Real Housewives of DC, OC, Atlanta, New York and New Jersey as we welcome the newest member of the Real Housewives franchise.” Does that mean some cast members weren’t invited? I wonder how the other cast members feel about MIssy Salahi’s self-proclaimed title of “Star.” Join our Facebook page: Tell the White House Party Crashers to Go Away
