Tareq Salahi is back!

You might remember him best as the husband to "Real Housewives of DC" Star Michaele Salahi, who, along with his now ex-wife, allegedly crashed the White House State Dinner in 2009.

Yep, that's the guy.

Well, now, he's running for governor of Virginia (in the Republican primary) with a pretty catchy slogan: "Crash The Vote!" He's also gearing up to host  his first big fundraiser.

Today, he officially announced his campaign kickoff party, which will happen at his home in rural Warren County, Va., with a "grass-roots style family BBQ open to the community, fellow Virginians, friends and other supporters on September 16th at 5pm. There will be live entertainment, photo fun with a Hollywood green screen and opportunities with the candidate."

To join in on the fun, supporters should make a donation of either $15 in advance or $20 at the door. (Children younger than 18 will be admitted for free.) For details, including directions, please visit his Facebook event page, "Crash the Candidate's BBQ," here.

Oh, and make sure you're camera-ready while at the cookout -- this event will "include pyrotechnics and will be filmed for a new television show."

Now, if Michaele shows up with her Journey boyfriend, Neal Schon, then we'll have ourselves some reality-TV mayhem at its finest.
