Real Househusband of D.C. Tareq Salahi considers running for governor of Virginia

Former Real Housewives of D.C. star Tareq Salahi is considering running for governor of Virginia, reports CNN. It’s an interesting choice considering Salahi was catapulted into the public spotlight for crashing a White House State Dinner while filming Housewives in 2009. The incident created a national scandal. Though neither Tareq nor his then-wife Michaele were ever charged for any crimes Salahi was asked to resign his post from the Virginia Tourism Board.

Salahi explained his potential for office in a statement, writing, “As a Virginia native for the last 42 years, I am troubled to see how our current political figure heads continue to waste tax payer dollars during these difficult economic times! I’m a big believer in limited government, keeping taxes, regulation, and litigation low.” As such, Salahi ticked the box marked “Republican” on his campaign application. Unfortunately, he also filled in the wrong date for Virginia’s 2013 election, rendering his application faulty, though he has until next January to correct the error. READ FULL STORY »

Man sues Steven Seagal over 'staged' arrest

Actor Steven Seagal and the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office are being sued over a 2011 arrest that a Phoenix-area man says was staged for a reality TV show. Jesus Llovera says Seagal and deputies unlawfully raided his home because they thought Llovera was raising fighting roosters. Llovera says the birds on his property were for show and not for fighting. The civil suit asks for a jury to determine unspecified monetary damages.

The Arizona Republic reports the Sheriff’s Office was participating in the creation of a reality show, Steven Seagal: Lawman, that followed Seagal’s exploits as a deputized officer. The Sheriff’s Office insists in court documents that the use of a tank, a bomb robot and 40 deputies was part of its normal course of duties.
