On the same day that Khloe Kardashian dismissed rumors that she may get divorced, and chatter spread that Kim Kardashian might wed Kanye West , a new tabloid story says Kourtney Kardashian is about to tie the knot with Scott Disick, In Mexico. At friend Joe Francis’ estate. “They signed a $1 million deal with E! to get married on TV,” an insider tells In Touch Weekly , adding that Kourtney and Scott will soon get engaged “in an orchestrated, well-publicized manner.” The only problem with this report? Kourtney’s rep says it isn’t true. Then again, isn’t that exactly what Kourtney’s rep would say if the engagement were meant to be a surprise?!?
Tareq Salahi ‘s lawsuit against his estranged wife Michaele Salahi was recently dismissed, but he’s instead turned his focus to her lover, Journey guitarist Neal Schon, the band’s personal recording label and their publicist. Yep, he’s re-filing a lawsuit against all of the above. Tareq alleged that Michaele and Neal’s 2011 affair was a calculated attempt to re-launch the struggling rock band, ruining Tareq in the process. The male Salahi says that when he was doing Michaele, Neal Schon was also screwing him out of a deal with Oprah Winfrey (!?), a $300,000 gig on Dancing With the Stars and a big-screen adaptation of their life. Mmm hmm. The pair was to receive 40 percent of the sale, he claims … so approximately $8.00 total gross, assuming the two of them even bought tickets. Tareq also alleges the affair also cut off paid interviews and appearances, despite the fact that he got quite a lot of mileage out of whining about it. He also modestly calls himself and Michaele “instant international celebrities” and “household names” after crashing a White House state dinner. Their “gate-crashing” resulted in the Salahis “being offered regular paid appearances as ‘The Salahis,’” he claims … and they’re no longer. Tareq added: “The Salahis” became a “financially prosperous enterprise.” Sadly for him, that ship has sailed, along with any hope of winning this case.
Tareq Salahi claims that Neal Schon ruined his entire life and is suing the Journey rocker, who ran off with his reality star wife Michaele, for $50 million dollars. The lawsuit was just filed by Salahi in Virginia. Tareq says he and Michaele Salahi were on track to make a huge fortune together from multiple reality TV shows including Dancing with the Stars … yeah right. According to the suit, they had an offer to participate on the Australian DWTS in 2011 … for $150,000. Not a bad chunk of change, but a fortune? Really? Plus, he claims, the White House party crashers also had an offer to appear on another network TV show in the U.S. Which he does not name, of course. Tareq claims the TV shows pulled their offers when Michaele Salahi ran off with Neal Schon last fall, and that Schon waged a campaign to humiliate him . Tareq says Schon used the affair to inflict suffering upon him, emailing a pic of his penis and calling him on the phone to tell him, “I’m f**king your wife!” In the suit, Tareq claims, “The act was a metaphorical slap in the face.” Negative points for filing a frivolous lawsuit, but bonus points for not saying “literally.” Tareq claims Schon humiliated him in public, too, as the publicity would increase interest in Journey’s tour … which resulted in a major attendance boost.
Taxi and Grease star Jeff Conaway, who passed away at age 60 last May, died of a major internal infection. Coroners released his official cause of death Friday. A toxicology test was not conducted on the body of the actor, who publicly struggled with addiction, because he was hospitalized for weeks before his death. His blood would have tested clean in any case. Jeff Conaway was taken off life support on May 27 after being hospitalized with pneumonia and sepsis. The troubled Conaway fell into a coma in May and was eventually allowed to pass away by his loved ones when hope for his recovery became non-existent. He worked with Dr. Drew Pinsky, who called him “a terribly complex case with chronic pain, opiate addiction and severe childhood trauma” on Celebrity Rehab .
Who wants to date Tareq Salahi. [Crickets] Hello? Anyone? Well, if you change your mind, he’s trying to pitch a reality show where you can do just that! Sources close to the jaded husband of Michaele Salahi say that Tareq he is pitching a dating show to various networks, with the title … wait for it … Seducing Salahi. In case you missed it, Michaele Salahi ran off with Neal Schon, the guitarist from Journey, because he’s her soulmate and her husband was too controlling. Tareq says he chose the house over boobs . The proposed show would be filmed at his Virginia winery and would be of The Bachelor / Flavor of Love variety, with 14 women competing for Tareq’s affection. Several networks are reportedly interested, which is probably the saddest thing we’ve ever heard, but you know if it comes to fruition we’ll be all over it. [Photo: WENN.com]
Tareq Salahi has “gone through so many emotions” since his wife Michaele Salahi and Neal Schon ran off together, he doesn’t even know where to start. But trust us, he’ll talk you through every step as he picks up the pieces. During a press conference for Celebrity Fight Night: An Alki David FilmOn Production , in which he’ll be throwing down, Tareq spoke about why he’s getting involved in celebrity boxing and, of course, Michaele ditching him. “After Michaele abandoned our home and our marriage, the house was just empty,” he explained. “I think it’s very good for the heart and the mind.” “I’ve gone through so many emotions from sadness and crying, ust trying to understand what went wrong with the marriage and her double life.” Asked whether money played a role in their split, Tareq said : “Yes, I think that played a part in it because here is the thing. We all have – in marriages, in relationships – we all have to have conversations about money and paying bills. So let’s say you have a pot of money sitting there.” “Well, Michaele would say, ‘I want to go to plastic surgery on my lips, face and boobs,’ versus, ‘Well we got to pay the mortgage!’ I chose the house.” “If she is going to say I am controlling, I will own up to that because if she is going to turn around and say I am being controlling over money, then yeah, let’s keep the house over boobs. You know what I am saying? Am I right? It is what it is.” Tareq says he’s still trying to figure out what went wrong. “I just don’t understand how anyone can run away from a home and turn their back on what I considered a beautiful marriage. She wasn’t just my lover. She was my best friend. So, who does that and who flaunts it? It’s disgusting.” “Who does that? Nobody does that. It’s a disgraceful, disgusting thing that they’ve done … The rocker guy sent a picture of his penis. Well, that’s why I’m fighting.” “I’m fighting for anybody that’s been cheated on.” Amen, brother.
By all accounts, Tareq Salahi had no idea wife Michaele was cheating on him and secretly running into the “Open Arms” of Journey guitarist Neal Schon. He seems legitimately crushed and heartbroken. Still, we are talking about Tareq and Michaele Salahi. There’s always an angle waiting to be worked. Had he not erroneously reported her KIDNAPPED last week, Michaele’s affair with Neal might not have gone public so humiliatingly for him. So sad. But hey, now that it has, might as well milk it for publicity! Less than a week after being “devastated” and “blindsided,” Tareq Salahi sat down with E! to discuss the oh-so-public betrayal in an interview airing tonight at 7. The party crasher/Real Housewives husband described his marriage prior to last week as “happy” and “perfect,” and said he absolutely never saw this coming” “Michaele came into this marriage with love. She’s leaving with at least one broken heart, because she’s a lying, cheating woman. She’s a liar and a cheater.” As for Schon, who he previously considered a friend, and who is also married (to Ava Fabian ), Tareq says he “should be ashamed of himself for doing this.” The one potential bright spot for the male Salahi? “We did have a prenup,” he confirmed. “So the winery and property are protected.” Essentially, Michaele screwed herself over the second she started screwing Neal. Under their pact, if Michaele is found to have cheated on Tareq, she loses her anything accumulated during their marriage, as well as future spousal support. That seems like a given. Whether Tareq even has any money to pay support? That’s another story. As is how long Michaele’s Journey has been going on. Part one of E!’s interview with Tareq airs tonight, and the second part tomorrow. You don’t want to miss it. Seriously, folks. It’d cheer Tareq up. Watch. [Photos: WENN.com]
Apparently Neal Schon is also married. As if the fact that Michaele Salahi was reported kidnapped , only to have left her husband to run off with the guitarist from Journey, wasn’t bizarre enough, it turns out Neal himself is a married man – as of THIS JULY! Somebody’s not taking the lyrics to “Faithfully” to heart … Neal Schon: Play on, player – and we’re not talking about guitars. Ava Fabian, a former Playboy Playmate, married Neal this summer in Paris, and the entire band was present. Now unlike Tareq Salahi, she says she was shocked and is completely devastated by Neal Schon’s affair with Michaele Salahi . “This is very painful for me. I’m very hurt,” Ava told TMZ . Asked if she would ever consider taking Schon back, Fabrian replied with a firm, “No.” Big stunner right there, given that White House party crasher Michaele is now a full-blown Journey groupie, traveling to all of Neal’s concerts. Tareq Salahi says he’s divorcing her ass ASAP. We know one former Playboy centerfold who also sounds like she could be available, T. Just sayin’ … [Photos: WENN.com]
Tareq Salahi says he’s had it with wife Michaele’s betrayal and will be divorcing her. You can’t take anything he says at face value, but who could blame him. As we reported yesterday, a crushed Tareq says he was blindsided by Michaele’s affair with Neal Schon of Journey fame – and a new video is the final straw. A video he shot, featuring Michaele and Neal kissing, playfully, over Labor Day. All while Tareq watched, oblivious to the long-term affair going on. Brutal. Michaele can go ahead and pack her bags … wait, she already did . Tareq is telling friends he can never trust Michaele Salahi (a realization some of us came to long ago) and will never take that hoe back, no matter what. He feels she’ll eventually tire of her special Journey and try to come home. Nevertheless, the divorce is on like Neal’s schlong … which strangely made its way into his divorce filing. Really. We cannot make this stuff up. According to Tareq’s divorce papers , adultery and abandonment are the reasons for the divorce. And this: “The paramour [Neal] sent to my email account … a email with an attachment of a penis” – presumably his. Tareq blasts his wife, claiming: “She continually exposes our friends and acquaintances to her adulterous relationship and has flaunted it throughout the community, the nation and the world, and thus caused me to suffer great harm, humiliation and embarrassment.” The nation and world? We feel bad for you dude, but come on now. Tareq says his wife’s been boninh Schon “for a period of months.” The locks on the homestead and winery have already been changed, so Tareq is clearly moving forward with plans to divorce his cheating spouse. Looks like he did stop believing after awhile. Sorry, we couldn’t resist. On a related note, wonder if Michaele rocks out to this while nailing Neal … Journey – Faithfully
