Salahis: We Didn't Crash the White House Dinner

Joyce Eng — Tue, 01 Dec 2009 12:35:00 -0500

The couple who got into last week's White House state dinner denied being party crashers and said they are "shocked" and "devastated" by the tag.

"I can tell you we did not party-crash the White House," Tareq Salahi said on Tuesday's Today show, where he appeared with wife Michaele.

The Salahis — who maintained they were not being paid for the interview contrary to previous reports — said they have e-mail proof that they were invited to the dinner. "I am certain we'll be completely exonerated," Tareq Salahi said.

Amazing Race's Flight Time and Big Easy: No Regrets About Taking Penalty

Joyce Eng — Mon, 30 Nov 2009 16:53:00 -0500

Being unable to unscramble five letters to spell "Franz" (as in Kafka) turned out to be quite the trial for The Amazing Race's Big Easy. The 28-year-old Harlem Globetrotter (real name: Nathaniel Lofton) struggled with the letters for almost three hours and was dealt a blow when Dan, after agreeing to work together, refused to give him the answer, offering up only the first letter. "That was his strategy. He felt like we were one of the strongest teams and he saw an opportunity to get rid of us and he went for it," Big Easy tells TVGuide.com. Rather than toil any longer, he and teammate, Herbert "Flight Time" Lang, 32, opted to incur a four-hour penalty, which ultimately led to their metamorphosis — uh, elimination. See why the pair had no regrets about the decision, what they think of Sam and Dan, and more.
