The story of the White House gate crashers, Michaele and Tareq Salahi is getting bigger and bigger now, and more details are starting to emerge about the Salahis' past, including their history of being celebrity chasers.
In a New York Daily News photo gallery, the Salahis are seen at the White House state dinner, but they are also photographed with a ton of other celebrities in the past, leaving the reader to wonder how many other parties they may have crashed.
They have been photographed with former President Bill Clinton, Oprah Winfrey, Buzz Aldrin, Huey Lewis, Forest Whitaker, Jose Canseco, Quincy Jones, Willard Scott, Will.i.am, Jack Black, Bill Cosby, John McCain, Omarosa, Tim Gunn, Seal, Ashley Judd, Matt Damon, Donnie Osmond, Betsey Johnson, Fergie, Prince Charles, Obama before he was President, and Star Jones.
Some of these photos come from a charity event, although that may be a scam.
Aside from possibly being celebrity chasers, and although they have denied crashing the White House state dinner, they do have a tie to America's Polo Cup and they seem to be part of a charity scam.
Tareq and Michaele Salahi present themselves as Virginia-area socialites and philanthropists. They even run their own charity. It turns out the charity, at the US polo tournament that served as a fundraiser, may not be entirely above board.
What do you think? Are they celebrity chasers?

Tareq's father Dirgham Salahi is an Arab from Jerusalem. His mother Corinne is from Belgium. Dirgham was educated as a petroleum geologist and worked in the Middle East and United States. He retired and settled in Virginia where he became manager of an estate farm which he then subsequently bought. Corrine Salahi is the founder and director of the Montessori School of Alexandria, Virginia.
Tareq is a graduate of the University of California, Davis with a bachelors degree in business management and oenology[3][4].
Tareq met then model Michaele Holt at the 2000 holiday party thrown by McLean, Virginia real estate developer N. Casey Margenau and his wife Molly. Tareq married Michaele in 2003 in a lavish ceremony at Cathedral of St. Matthew the Apostle in Washington DC with 28 bridesmaids, 28 groomsmen, and, according to a video posted on YouTube and her Facebook page, enjoyed a reception at the Tareq family winery prepared by 46 chefs hosted in a 36,000 square-foot tent, capped off with a 30-minute fireworks display and an eight-foot wedding cake. The guest list included 1,836 guests featuring Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy and former U.S. Ambassador to Ireland Margaret Heckler. The wedding originally scheduled for October 2002 was postponed numerous times prompting Kennedy to quip that he needed to issue "subpoenas" to the bride and groom[2][5][3].

This conjures up all kinds of inappropriate thoughts. My tongue is bleeding from the bite.
