But how is she going to compete on DWTS: Australia if she’s with child?  Valid question, but have no fear, former Real Housewife Of DC Michaele Salahi will be footloose and fancy free  and perfectly able to flit across the dance floor unencumbered!

According to reports, Michaele and Tareq Salahi are planning to have a baby through a surrogate mother.  God bless the poor woman who signs on for this… and the baby, for that matter.  Aren’t there laws in place that forbid clinically insane, fame-mongers from procreating?  I guess not – and maybe they will be wonderful parents, but their track record certainly suggests otherwise.

In an interview with TMZ, Michaele shared that she wants to use a surrogate because she feels her age (45) and illness (multiple sclerosis) are too high a risk for a successful pregnancy.  Alright, I’ll buy that…  Michaele went on to add that she is,

…overjoyed with the hope of starting a family and the blessing of love and peace a child will bring to our lives.

I want to believe that these two are having a baby for the right reasons, so I’m choosing to do so.  And you can all say “I told you so.” when they sign a deal for a reality show chronicling their journey to parenthood.
