Get ready, wedding crashers! Michaele Salahi, who gained notoriety in 2009 for crashing a White House state dinner, may not have known, but her boyfriend Neal Schon, is likely close to popping the question.
“He’s having a 11.42 carat diamond ring shipped to Florida that will then be delivered to him by armored car Friday morning,” a friend of Neal tells me. “Michaele has no idea yet, but he’s confident she will say yes.”
Michaele and her ex-husband, Tareq Salahi, signed a confidential divorce settlement in August after she left her husband for Neal. Tareq filed a $50 million personal injury suit against his ex and her new boyfriend that has since been dismissed.
“I’ve known Michaele for more than 15 years, having met her in the 1990s,” Schon told me a few months ago. “But nothing romantic ever happened between us, even though I secretly wanted it to, until she left her husband.

Erstwhile White House State Dinner crasher and "Real Housewives of D.C." star Michaele Salahi was on hand Wednesday (June 6) for the Cmt Awards in Nashville with boyfriend Neal Schon.
Schon is the bassist for Journey, one of the evening's featured bands. He and Salahi began dating in September 2011. The world found out, along with Michaele's husband Tareq Salahi, when the couple -- who had dated years before -- basically ran away together just 10 days after running into each other at a Virginia concert.
"I'm very happy, very happy after waiting for her for 15 years," Schon told The Daily Beast at the time. "Now I want to get beyond all this media hype that Tareq has put out there. It's really quite embarrassing."
In April, a judge dismissed a $50 million lawsuit brought against the couple by Tareq Salahi, who alleged he was embarrassed in the process of Michaele's transition from one relationship to the other.

TV personality and White House party crasher Tareq Salahi "has the dubious designation of being one of the least popular people we've ever polled," according to a survey released Thursday by Public Policy Polling.
Salahi, who announced in April that he was considering a campaign as a Republican candidate for Virginia governor, garnered positive reactions from just 2 percent of Virginians polled. Over a third said they held an unfavorable view of him.
The poll did contain some good news for Salahi, however. His name recognition among the general electorate was 34 percent, higher than that for Lt. Gov Bill Bolling (R), who has served in that position since 2006, as well as former DNC chair Terry McAuliffe and former Rep. Tom Perriello (D-Va.). State Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli (R) and Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.) are both better-known.

Richmond, Va. — Tareq Salahi, a Virginia vintner who achieved notoriety for crashing a White House party and later saw his wife run off with a guitarist for the rock band Journey, now says he will run as a Republican for governor of Virginia.
In a move that provoked rolled eyes and guffaws within Richmond's political chattering classes, Salahi filled out and submitted a candidacy declaration Tuesday. It came one day after another Gop candidate for governor, Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli, sued Salahi and his winery. The suit claims they cheated customers who bought winery tours.
Salahi's declaration of candidacy is meaningless until Jan. 1. Virginia law prohibits the State Board of Elections from accepting the declarations until the year in which the elections are scheduled, said board senior official Chris Piper.
Salahi and his wife, Michaele, breezed in uninvited to a White House state dinner in 2009, and were able to meet President Barack Obama.

It’s healthy for him to move forward. I’m happier than ever, I'm not coming back and he just needs to be at peace with that and move forward with his life and let me go.

Schon & Salahi's Love Story Turned Music Video
On Monday, the Circuit Court for Warren County found Tareq's $50 million alienation of affection lawsuit to be "deficient" and dismissed all counts without prejudice.
Tareq will have 21 days to amend and re-file, but it is unclear whether or not he will take advantage of this opportunity.
However, Michaele's counterclaim for defamation against Tareq continues forward.

On Monday, the Circuit Court for Warren County found Tareq's $50 million alienation of affection lawsuit to be "deficient" and dismissed all counts without prejudice.
Tareq will have 21 days to amend and re-file, but it is unclear whether or not he will take advantage of this opportunity.
However, Michaele's counterclaim for defamation against Tareq continues forward.

Neal Schon of Journey was one of the most anonymous rock stars in the world until he started dating accused White House gatecrasher and "Real Housewives of D.C." star Michaele Salahi. Although he still shies away from interviews, Neal did sit down with me on my HDNet talk show "Naughty But Nice" to set the record straight about all the rumors and the ugly allegations that Michaele's ex, Tareq Salahi, has thrown at him.
"I never sent Tareq a picture of my penis, and I didn't call him on the phone to tell him I was f**king his wife either," Neal tells me. "I've always taken care of situations like this behind closed doors, and this is the first time in the last five months that I have been in the media ... so it's hard. But Tareq chose to put it out there."

Richmond, Va. -- Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli's office says officials have reached a settlement with a charity run by White House party crasher Tareq Salahi for allegedly making false statements, submitting inaccurate financial statements and soliciting donations without being registered with the state.
The settlement with the Journey for the Cure Foundation and Salahi follows an investigation by the state Office of Consumer Affairs. Under the settlement, the charity must pay $32,500 in civil penalties and attorney fees. Salahi also must pay $2,500 in penalties.
Salahi and his wife, Michaele, gained notoriety in 2009 when they crashed a White House state dinner. Earlier this month, Tareq Salahi filed a $50 million lawsuit against his wife claiming she had an affair with Journey guitarist Neil Schon in an attempt to make money for herself and the band at his expense.

His wife may have been the Real Housewife, but Tareq Salahi isn't ready to give up on what reality-tv had to offer. After filing for divorce from wife Michaele Salahi when she cut, run and hooked up with Journey rocker Neal Schon, the former Real Housewives of D.C. hubby is suing Michaele and Schon for $50 million, claiming the breakup cost him lucrative TV digs.

Michaele Salahi and her boyfriend, Journey guitarist Neal Schon, intended to spend a romantic Valentine's Day together in New York, celebrating the band's new "Resonate" video, which features the happy couple. Instead, they are spending the day dealing with a $50 million lawsuit from Michaele's ex-husband, Tareq Salahi.
"Never a dull moment," Neal tells me. "You can try to do whatever you want to do, but you can't take away the love that I have for Michaele. We are going to be together in New York City on Valentine's Day, loving the city and being in love with each other."
The couple believes that Tareq waited until Valentine's Day to serve Michaele, Neal and Journey with the lawsuit -- which alleges that she left him for Neal and embarrassed him in the process -- in an attempt to sabotage their day of romance. Tomorrow, the couple is scheduled to sit down...

Michaele Salahi will neither confirm nor deny she banged Journey guitarist Neal Schon behind her husband's back ... this according to new legal docs.
Turns out, adultery is a Crime in Virginia ... and if Michaele admits that she slept around with Schon while she was married to Tareq Salahi, she could be punished by the law.
So, instead of responding to the adultery accusations Tareq included in his divorce filing -- Michaele has now filed documents in which she "asserts her privilege pursuant to the Fifth Amendment of the United States Constitution not to respond."
Additionally, admitting to adultery could put Michaele at a serious disadvantage in her divorce proceedings -- because as we first reported, the couple's pre-nup stipulates ... if Michaele commits adultery, she gets zilch for spousal support.

Just days after Tareq Salahi's wife, Michaele Salahi, left him for Journey guitarist Neal Schon, insiders claim that Tareq had already begun profiting from the split. Since September, he has reportedly earned an estimated $100,000 in paid interviews.
"Tareq emailed me days after Michaele left saying Neal was going to suffer huge from this financially and that we needed to figure out how to make millions off of [the split]," a source close to Tareq tells me. "Tareq was the controlling and the calculating one. Everyone close to Michaele is very happy she got away from him."
"When they were together, Michaele was not allowed to handle any of her own business dealings," the source says. "Tareq would do anything for money, and now that Michaele is gone, he lost his paycheck and is desperate. Tareq put his own divorce documents in the press just so he could comment for money."
But Tareq denies these allegations.
