Is anyone else starting to think this is just another one of the Salahi’s over-the-top publicity scams?

Apparently, former Real Housewives of D.C. star Tareq Salahi, whose wife Michaele recently left him for Journey guitarist Neal Schon, is working on picking up the pieces of his broken heart by cavorting with Manhattan Madam, Kristin Davis.

According to reports, the Oasis Winery owner will be accompanying Davis to her birthday party as her date.

Even though Salahi and Davis will be arriving at the birthday bash arm-in-arm, it doesn’t look like the pair only has eyes for each other.  Davis, who is best known for hooking up former NYC Governor Elliott Spitzer with her high class call girls, looks like she’ll be acting like more of a wingman than a date.

I can assure you there’s no better place to meet beautiful women than my birthday party!

Here’s to livin’ the single life?
