State Dinner Crashers On Today Show: We Were Invited!

The couple accused of waltzing into President Obama's first State Dinner uninvited and mugging with dignitaries and VIPs—and the President himself—appeared on the Today Show this morning and to insist they were invited to the event. Tareq Salahi said the incident has been "the most devastating thing that has ever happened" to himself and wife Michaele, emphasizing they "did not party-crash the White House."

Not only are Staten Island and Belmar, NJ using their feud to fuel the publicity machine, but now bands are getting some ink over it as well! The Staten Island Advance reports that Joe Pecora, singer of the SI indie band Happy Anarchy, has invited the "guido-bashing Ken Pringle up from the Jersey Shore for a few drinks." Pecora wants the Belmar mayor to join in on a song or two with the band, as well -- though he's unsure if Pringle listens to rock or even plays an instrument. The written invitation he sent off to Pringle was wrapped in a t-shirt he made that reads: "I love Staten Island, So Go !@#$ Yourself!"
