Embracing the Salahi, Journey story with 'Open Arms'We can hear you groaning. Wednesday was all about the Salahi drama as the former "Real Housewives of D.C." cast members found themselves front and center in the press. It all started when Tareq Salahi claimed that his wife, Michaele, was missing, and said he suspected that she had been abducted. The pair first came to fame after the "White House gate crashing" incident in 2009 when they dropped in on a state dinner. So it was expected that after news of a "missing" Mrs. Salahi broke, the blog OMG mused "Um, has anyone checked the White House?" The fun really kicked off after it was revealed that Mrs. Salahi was actually on the road with Journey guitarist Neal Schon and the Web exclaimed a collective "What?!" Twitter user @Matt_Carlyle tweeted "Looks like Michaele Salahi took the 'Midnight train going anywhere'" while Nancy Toby tweeted that it was the "Best story of 2011." Another Twitter user, @sportsyack, asked, "Did Michaele Salahi run off with the Phillipino [sic] Neal Schon, or the 'real' Neal Schon?" (Filipino singer Arnel Pineda now sings lead for Journey which was once helmed by lead singer Steve Perry). And the hits just kept on coming. We haven't seen this much interest in Journey since "Glee" premiered and sent "Don't Stop Believing" soaring up the charts. What Journey tune or lyric do you think best describes this story?

Didn't Neal Schon just marry Ava Fabian (former Playboy Playmate) in July??
Wonder how she feels about his new little honey?
be careful what you ask for ring a bell mr? you wanted fame too. do you see many celebrities stay married? you got your 15 minutes of fame, she became addicted to pretending a high life and now you lost your wife. although you may not have lost much.
All this couple knows how to do is lie and apparently they're not even good at that. Please someone advise both of them to get real jobs and get lost.
REALLLLLLLY disappointed in Neal.....is he that hard up?
Michelle should... BEWARE – she obviously knows nothing of Sharia Law!
I'm so sick of these famous for nothing people. Get jobs and get a real life. Missing? Maybe she's lost in the Whitehouse. We could only hope she's been abducted. What a publicity stunt. shame on both of you.
She's a ho!
Eww. That's all I have to say about Neal's choice to be with that ugly woman and throwing his wife under the tour bus.
People used to get famouos because of something they did, some talent they had, some ability. These days it is all about shock value .... as long as we watch this type of junk, Hollywood will continue to make them .... I never watch and never will.
they're all retards ! who cares !
I just popped my neck. That bit of news is way more interesting than this crap.
I'd bang her.
I have a picture of Tareq partying in Miami with Michael Lohan last night at about 1am. He doesn't seem too concerned.
Those guys probably were hard at work developing their new "Reality" show. It's going to be called "Drama Dudes". There will be scenes getting their hair cut and manicures, hanging out at the best parties and in general, trying to convince everyone that they are valuable members of society. LOL.
tareq is such a attention w***e...the media did not need to know your wife was missing...if you really cared....i'm sure you're reading every single post on here and everywhere else google can take you...
A day will come when this woman is old.
Her bleached hair won't be appealing.
Her fake boobs and face will have sagged.
Her enameled teeth will have dulled.
And she'll just be an old hag, sitting alone.
Nobody will take her picture.
She won't be on a reality tv show.
She'll just be an old hag....sitting alone.
And when people ask her about her life, she'll tell them what she's done with her life...
...they'll have to turn away, because it's not polite to laugh in the face of an old lady.
Any Way You Want It
I also like salsa covered fist fcks.
The Salahi's should be begging for attention from behind bars for compromising White House security, along with those who let that happen. These people are a disgrace.
You are soooo right!! I'm so very disappointed that they did not see any jail time for their White House visit. Sad People.
As soon as Schon dumps her, she'll run back to her loser husband and there'll be another round of media coverage we'll all have to suffer through.
*cough* Bottom Feeders *cough*
Freaks, all of them.
All the "REAL HOUSEWIVES" are like bed bugs. They keep multiplying, and they're hard to get rid of.
OMG! The DC housewives were cancelled, so they had to do something to keep thier name out there in the media. Please!! And what the hell, she had to show up on television giving her views when the Beverly Hills housewives spouse commits suicide?!?! Shes in DC not CA....I hear another show spin off....go away please!
She and Kate could get together and star in a show called......How To Be the Biggest Piece.......
Neal Schon needs to raise his standards. A lot. Unless of course, he's into needy whack jobs.
"Dude, I said no more Journey psych-outs!"
Journey was a good band for about 5 minutes.
Stephanie Perry...a girl.
Ross Valerie...a girl with a weiner.
Neil Schlong...nuff said.
It is really a desperate publicity stunt for JOURNEY as they are a bunch of washed up has beens and have been since Steve Perry left.
Neal Schon has short man complex anyway.
She should have stayed on the Dr. Drew show...she's addicted to always being in the limelight. Such trashy people!
See what you can accomplish when you have no gag reflex.
"I'm forever yours...maybe not...faithfully!"
@cogito – what's even more pathetic is you only got 2 inches.... fully erect. too bad you'll die a virgin....
Hhhhahahahahaaaa, its not funny but the word 'cuckold' does kinda ring true....
Think it was the Sopranos finale that sent Don't Stop Believing soaring up the charts.
Oingo Boingo was a better band that Journey.
Girl can't help it, she needs love
Hasn't found what she's looking for.....
Mr. Salahi says, "Send Her My Love". LMAO !!!!!
Lovin' Touchin' Squeezin' would be the Journey song of choice for this article. LOL.
That was my choice. But my question is, what would HE be doing with HER? Comeon, she follows the money and the parties...for real? So for now, she's on a Journey.
So does this mean Ms. Salahi is "Lovin', Touchin', Squeezin'" another?
I just saw JOURNEY and the only woman with him was his wife Ava Fabian.
She was standing right next to me watching him play.
obviously a publicity stunt..
couldn't you put this media form to better use than featuring this twerp? come onnnnnnn
....and yet you're commenting on it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!LOL!
Maybe he hurt her.
Maybe true love deserted her.
Maybe Neil Schon still loves her.
Though they touched and went their separate ways.
I think "wheels" best fits this ...she doesn't know where she'll be tommorrow!!!! hahaha
I wanna know what love is ...
Foreigner, dear. Sorry.
never really liked journey that much. loved the side projects neil schon did with other artists. kinda like guns n roses; coulda been better band with a different singer.
I can't believe that anyone took me seriously on that Guns n' Roses joke.
I would have never guessed that people would ever call that Axl experiment a singer, and I'm God, fer Chrissakes! (and yes, I can blaspheme all I want to, plebes – I'm GOD!)
Well, for irony Open Arms was not only the rare Journey song not co-written by Neal Schon, but the story goes he hated it at first.
I dont blame him for hating that sappy mess. Perry just wanted to take over the band and when Schlong wouldnt have Perry whined then quit like a little girl. Perry is a whiner and needs his buttHumped so he will stop with the crying.
It was actually that f ag Jonathn Caine that penned open arms.
The Salahis have gone their "Separate Ways"
Lyric: "Remember Me"
We know Who’s Crying Now, just Ask the Lonely Tareq Salahi whose woman can’t behave Faithfully. She fled into that guitarist’s Open Arms and now they’re Lovin’, Touchin’, Squeezin’ each other. Girl Can’t Help It, and neither can he, cuz When You Love a Woman you Don’t Stop Believin’ that you’ll love each other til the Lights go out. I’m sure Tareq will eventually be able to say “I’ll Be Alright Without You” after their Separate Ways...
that was AWESOME! you are a true Journey Lover, as am I!!!!!
Ummm, AMAZING!
LOVE IT!!!
u da bomb!!!
Awesome..
You are the MASTER! That is GREAT! You will soooo be quoted all over the internet!
Now that's clever! Nice job!!!
another publicity stunt. These two people make me sick.
best part of michaele salahi- her n!pples!
C'mon...obvious..."Faithfully"
Did she really leave her husband for a man named Schlong?
my god – is your life just one big salad?!
More likely tossed salad
Did anyone else read @sportsyack as @sportysack at first?
Just saw a photo of this dude in the band! Looks like he's on the edge of falling off. She obviously isn't with the dude for his looks! Sorry soon-to-be (ex) husband. For the band member, he obviously likes her for something other than her looks. I guess he likes items that have been used a lot.
One must however admit Steve Perry aka Stephanie Perry made a pretty girl
"Any way she wants it, that's the way she needs it"...
And it is truly pathetic that this liberal has to cuckold her husband in order to stay iin the headlines.
What's even more pathetic than these people getting ANY publicity at all, is how conservatard trolls inject their politics into everything...
Naw, what's pathetic is trying to use this story as some sort of sad shot at 'evil liberals.'
Thank a liberal, they're why you have the rights you do, shmuck.
@steve you are 100% correct about Steve Perry being irreplaceable and I forgot about Soto.
This woman is desperate to be famous. Publicity stunt, much?
This is funny stuff. One more thing to add to her resume.
Since when does Neil Schon have blonde hair?
These people will do ANYthing to get publicity... I guess it works though. *Sigh*
CNN get it straight! Arnel Pineda did NOT replace Steve Perry. He replaced Steve Auguirre who replaced Steve Perry. There could be 2 songs if this is true. The Party's Over or Lovin' Touchin' Squeezin'.
Steve Augeri did replace Steve Perry in 1998. Jeff Scott Soto replaced Augeri in 2006 & Pineda replaced Soto in 2007. Actually no one ever did or ever will replace Steve Perry in Journey.
(Filipino singer Arnel Pineda now sings lead for Journey which was once helmed by lead singer Steve Perry). It never said he replaced Steve Perry just that he sings for the group once Sung for by Steve Perry, and he was not the first singer for Journey. So CNN did get it straight.
People will do anything for a chance to be on TV these days...
I must say Neil Schon and that guy in the pic make a cute couple.
Isn't this the nut who was saying how much she loved her husband, blah blah blah....what a freak show!
LMAO
