Wannabe Reality TV Couple Crash White House State Dinner; Security Breach Under Investigation

On a night of elegance designed to welcome the prime minister of India and his wife to the United States,a northern Virginia couple managed to upstage the entire affair and even the First Lady's stunning gown... and are now under investigation for a possible security breach. The wannabe reality TV couple is being investigated by the Secret Service and top White House officials after it was revealed that they crashed the private White House state dinner affair. Tareq Salahi and his wife Michaele, slipped into the White House state dinner Tuesday night honoring the prime minister of India, Manmohan Singh and his wife. The couple, rumored to be in contention for Bravo TV's latest housewives franchise "The Real Housewives Of Washington DC", entered along with 300+ other guests on the southeast side of the White House and were subject to the same security screening as all other guests; the only thing missing from this couple: an invitation. With the gaffe on the part of the White House, the Salahi's managed to get into the gala and would have gotten away with it...except...the celeb-u-nots bragged about attending the dinner on their Facebook pages. One posting read "Honored to be at the White House for the state dinner in honor of India with President Obama and our First Lady!" Another posting read "A Sensational Night honoring India". The no-list couple even managed to snag a few photo-ops in between. One with CBS Evening News anchor Katie Couric, one with White House Chief Of Staff Rahm Emanuel and even one with Vice President Joe Biden. The Secret Service learned of the possible breach after a flood of media inquiries questioning who the Salahi's were. Producers from Bravo were also at the White House gala hoping to use the event as footage for the new Housewives franchise and the Salahi's in particular who they believed to be an A list power couple. Producers of the mega hit show are stupified as to how they could have been conned by this powerless, no-list couple. With the Secret Service and White House officials investigating, it's unlikely this couple will be in contention for the show anymore. It is unclear if the Salahi's had any interactions with the President or the First Lady. It is also unclear if anyone from the Secret Service stands to lose their job as a result of the incident.
