Michaele Salahi
Crashing President Obama's state dinner with her husband, Tareq, in November 2009 is this statuesque blonde's claim to fame. Needless to say, we can't wait to see if she pulls similar stunts on the show.
Mary Amons
According to her bio on the show's website, Mary spent her childhood summers at the Kennedy residences—fascinating! Oh, and she's a mother of five who's been married for 20-plus years and runs a couple of D.C.-area charities.
Stacie Scott Turner
Her husband Jason worked in the city's Department of Parks and Recreations for a time, so Turner probably has the most political ties out of all the Housewives. She has a Harvard MBA, runs a real estate practice and founded the Extra-Ordinary Life charity.
Catherine Ommanney
The British import and married mother of two is no stranger to the tabs. In between marriages back in '06, she made headlines by kissing England's Prince Harry and spilling all to the Mail.
Lynda Erkiletian
You can take the girl out of the South, but you can't take the South out of the girl. When this divorcée needs to escape the pressures of D.C.—Erkiletian founded and runs a successful modeling agency while juggling four kids—she relaxes by shooting clay pigeons and riding ATVs at her country house.
Get the dish on the ladies of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills!
