‘Real Housewives’ alum joins Australian ‘Dancing with the Stars’
While the American version of “Dancing with the Stars” may not be looking for “Real Housewives” this season, that apparently does not go for the Australian version of the hit ABC show.
So which Bravo reality star is heading Down Under? Ironically, it’s one who is not even a part of the show itself anymore. According to a new report, former “Real Housewives of DC” cast member Michaele Salahi (best known for attending a White House state dinner in controversial fashion) is getting set to make an appearance on the show along with her husband Tareq. It’s unclear on if both of these two are going to be dancing — but if so, that is certainly going to dominate a good percentage of their roster.
Here’s a fun fact — while the vast majority of the people who have appeared on the Australian version of the show are not familiar to American audience, one former contestant is none other than Chris Hemsworth (who has gone on to star in the big-screen adaptation of “Thor”).
Since “DC” ended its run after only one season, Salahi also attempted to join “Celebrity Rehab” — though that ended up not working out.
Do you think these two could end up helping the Australian show be a success this year?

Google “Salahi Sockpuppets” to read about their “fake” profiles. How they post glowing comments on articles about themselves and attack others claiming the others are the housewives. Salahi posing as sockpuppets call us bullys because they don’t like what we have to say. Exposings liars, scammers and thieves makes me an obsessed bully then so be it. But don’t take my word for it. Research the internet. But no matter what crap Debbie (aka Salahis or RJ) spins, the truth is out there.

Debbie, nice to know Salahis will have someone to visit them in jail!

The Question asks:
How is she going to dance with her penis tucked in between her legs?

So Debbie (Terd and CRAZY Missy) , there is nothing to love about you and your cons. Is it ok to wear white to your sentencing? No one is obsessed with you. We are just waiting for justice to be served. Your spinning out of control. Quite scary.

@Robyn: the real people who are obsessed with the Salami’s are you, Laurie and her loser husband Tony. Laurie and Tony are a joke. They have a Facebook page of their 2 year old daughter Lexi. Who exposes a 2 year old with a page.
The real bullies are Robyn and Laurie.
Get a life, losers.

Love everything about the Salahis.
Hope all the fake profiles that the same few create and blog everyday everywhere and bully the Salahis that Michaele Salahi exposes them for their bullying like I saw her say on tv and that the few that are so filled with hate and jealousy to bully her get help. Laurie was right . I agree Robyn. Using Michaele’s name above ‘Holt” desperate lonely people .
Michaele’s fans and friends don’t waste your time on this page – the obsessed bully women are here again and still waste time obsessed with jealousy of them- can you believe they are Mom’s too, these women? and they spend all day blogging. and sign on to hate pages to bully ? and they are Mom’s. sad.

To keep things in focus and some of the top reasons for disdain: no accountability, arrogance, a could careless attitude in the face of those they owe money, damage to charitable organizations credibility.
Oh My Goodness …. Robyn, please tell me how you can stand up for these two????

Can’t speak for the rest of you, but I “hate” liars and thieves. Majority of people do. But even OJ Simpson has some fans.

Mrs. Salahi has the makings to be a big star. After all, she has all of the grace, style, intelligence, talent, voice and beauty of Larry the Cable Guy, the body of Pee Wee Herman, and even Donald Trump envies her comb-over to cover up the fact she appears to be going bald.

I would like my car returned Terd and Messy. You know, the car you keep in your garage. What a loser my son and daughter-in-law are.

The Salahis are always the victims, always misunderstood. Anyone who is critical of their crimimal behavior is accused of “being obsessed” and “bullying” and we will soon see how that sort of defense holds up when indictments are issued for their Wine Tour fraud. Just wait. The IRS and the criminal justice system are the biggest “bullies” of them all. You ain’t seen nothing yet. The wheels of justice move slowly, sometimes imperceptibly forward. We shall see who needs to get a life then. Cheers & XOXO!!!

Hey Tareq…….or is it Howard……..or maybe Thomas………..why are you booking wine scams and weddings at a winery you don’t own………….

Hey Robyn: Do you help the Salami’s in their wine scam business!!! How about the wedding scam business. They don’t own a winery, yet they are booking weddings at Oasis.
Why don’t you get a life!!!!
It is all BS
August 5, 2011 @ 12:01 am
Tareq, get a job and get off the computer. Do you really believe that the other HW post here? No, they have all moved on with their lives. You on the other hand are still grasping for the gold ring. Your continued dishonesty is disgusting. You have unsuccessfully whore your crazy wife out and that did not work. Nothing has worked. No one wants your brand or your bs.

Seems that the Salahis are here tooting their own horn as usual. They are the true jealous haters, incapable of being honest.

Salahis I am a fan for sure. You are always fun to watch.
These wives are STILL posting about the Salahis and are really obsessed with them.
Haters will be left with only that which they came with… nothing but their own personal misery.
keep smiling and rising above !

Just google Michaele and Tareq Salahi. Read all the reports about their lies, scams, lawsuits, bankruptcies and charity fraud. Its public record for all to see. Then judge for yourselves. Salahis and friends can’t sweep that under the carpet!
Robyn

rachel didn’t Laurie already tell you that you are really looking scary obsessed with the Salahis. You, Greg and Jeffrey all need to somehow find your own lives and focus on your own families you started. You blog all day everyday about them. These last 5 postings are all of you. All of us talk about it and hope you all get help and find your own way in life. blogging all day hate – only consumes you.
laurie is right .

Ah, love the smell of BS in the morning! And thats what this is Australia, fresh from the Salahi BS factory. No one is better at manufacturing this crap than them. Salahis are well known for this in the US. This is just one other their planted lies hoping to generate enthusiasm with you Aussies. They have been desparate to get on the show in the US with no success. They probably think if they can generate enough interest here in Australia, DWTS will sign them.

Guess DWTS better demand a medical report from a “certified” doctor that Salahis is physically able to withstand the rigorous demands that DWTS puts on contestants. Considering she’s had MS for seventeen years! And by the way, I will not be performing a concert at the bankrupt (closed) winery despite Salahi’s claims at they Oasis Winery webpage. Another one of their lies.

Who are these people? Are they the same people that sell bogus stories to the tabloids and than dodge the q&a? Oh or the ones that have been ignored, mocked and sued? Oh im 100% positive they will NOT be on any tv show…..they are a wart on the nose of DC

Why would an austrailian show put a yank on? This smells funny kinda like desperation on the part of defunct fame whores, winery owners and human beings.

Oh my goodness. I met the Salahis years ago when my daughter had leukemia and they came in and saved the day. They instructed the oncologist on meds and the love we all felt from them cured my daughters leukemia. They seek world attention and they should be given it. After all the hard work they do. For instance today, they posted as four people on this site. Can you imagine what they could do if they actually worked for a living? Missed you guys in court today. Wanted to see Miissy’s new extensions. BTW Tareq, your Mom called and wants her car back.
Debbie
August 4, 2011 @ 12:12 am
Yes! The Salahis will give the show big ratings and media. love or hate we all talk
about them all the time. You couldn’t pay for the press they get. samrt move on Dancing with the Stars. World attention.

The Salahis are always entertaining, and the only reason I watched the dc real housewives with my wife. Michaele Salahi is the epitome of Grace under Fire.

Who in the world do they think they are kidding? She is nasty, old, worn out and ridiculous. I feel bad for Aussie’s having to associate the US with these two. Aren’t there any REAL celebrities out there?

Way to go! All the best with it !
I am so sorry to hear the Salahis have to be subjected to such horrible and unforgiving slander. Makes my blood run cold to think that there are people out there who make it their priority to let other human beings know how much hate they have.
I thank my parents for bringing me up with no hatred or Ill feelings towards others. You will both rise above this as the universe has a great way of dealing with people with the wrong intentions. My thoughts are with u both as u try and get through this “crappy part” of peoples jealousy and postings here.
Dancing with the Stars always get’s the very best!

And then, when the talentless horse gets voted off after the first episode, she will sue the show because it aggravated her “MS”. Wise up! Australia can have them, lord knows no one in America does. Watch out for her husband Sluggo, he is bad news.

I want to express how gratifying it was to see Michaele Salahi sit there and be proud at the re-union show of The Real Housewives. Those women were like a bunch of bitchy jealous teens!! Those other wives looking to each other for support, eye-rolling, i mean MY GOD! could they have shown any more immaturity? Michaele Salahi , under extreme pressure, a REAL woman with class and dignity held her composure and acted with compassion, as she did even whilst being attacked and outnumbered! YOU GO GIRL!!
Australia is lucky to have you and you will make the show shine Michaele!

What a joke. Apparently media and citizens of Australia have no idea who the Salahis really are. Suggest you do some research on google. They have two lawsuits currently pending in Virginia for alleged wine tour fraud. Multiple victims are filing criminal charges. Salahis are also under investigation for alleged charity fraud by the State of Virginia. Google Journey For The Cure Foundation. They filed bankruptcy for their Polo Cup, stiffing many vendors. Salahis owe thousands in unpaid credit cards. They rack up bills under numerous business ventures, file bankruptcy and skip out. What you saw on Bravo is just scratching the surface of they shenangans. Check out all the complaints for Virginia Wine Country Tours at Trip Advisor.

THAT is the most horrible news I have heard and know that I will not be watching that stringey
haired, lying, scammer who steals from people and businesses in America. If she goes to Australia, watch your wallets! Also, be careful about even touching her because she will say you have assaulted her and then want to sue you. You better check out these things. She accused Whoopi of hitting her; and she’s tried to do it to others. This will be more laughing stock news about them both. AND, if you use her; he is part of that package, so it will be like the GEICO commercial…it will take 3 to tango because he wants to be on screen just as much as her.

You have got to be kidding! Did you see her breathlessly try perform her ridiculous song – “Like I’m so hot and like your so not?” “Rhythm is the base?” This scarecrow woman and her obese husband are notional jokes and embarrassments. She has absolutely no talent. If her song performance and her attempt at crashing the Redskins Cheerleaders are any indications she should be booking her return flight after the first week. Let’s review her resume. Lied about being a model. Lied about being a RS Cheerleader. Lies about owning her husband’s family’s winery. Crashed the White House. What about her vast television experience the Robert mentioned above? RHODC – Cancelled because she was so hated and no one would work with her. After crashing the White House she went on talk shoes as a circus freak show and to this day all anyone cares about is “Were you really invited?” That is all they will ever be is the White House Crashers.
DWTS Australia will soon wish they never booked them when they have to start dealing with her husband that never leaves her side. And what about her 18 year history of MS? Talk to any person afflicted with MS and see if they could handle the physical demands of training. I hope she stays down under and spares.
