White House-crashers’ ‘charity’ premier party fails to raise money

NEW YORK - White House-crashers Michaele and Tareq Salahi’s charity premier party for ‘Real Housewives of DC’ has reportedly failed to raise money for donation.
Guests were told proceeds from the Salahis’ party would go to the charity Honor n Remember, but a charity organizer tells us they’re not getting squat.
Tickets for the bash held at a DC gay bar ranged from 25 dollars for general admission to 500 dollars for access to the VIP room.
The organization said it was promised 40 percent of the profit but was told recently the packed, cash-bar event didn’t make any money.
A rep for the Salahis claims they were merely guests of honour:
“This was not a Salahi event. They were not privy to the operational and management aspects of this event, nor were they compensated for their appearance,” the New York Post quoted the rep as saying. (ANI)
