We still don’t know for sure whether White House party crashers Tareq and Michaele Salahi will actually appear on the Bravo reality show “Real Housewives of DC,” but one area resident also rumored to be a participant is ready for her close-up.

Catherine Ommanney, a British-born interior designer who’s married to photographer Charles Ommanney, is profiled in a three-page press release to reporters on Monday by spokeswoman Erika Paola Gutierrez. Ommanney is a “soon to be reality TV star on a widely popular reality series,” Gutierrez writes, hinting that the 38-year-old — who made headlines in the United Kingdom for claiming to have kissed Prince Harry in a bar in 2006 — will star on the show.

According to her bio, Ommanney is a mother of two daughters who is “well known for her no nonsense attitude (a big part of why she bumps heads with DC’s nationally recognized controversial couple) and the ability to make a statement.”

Hmmm. ... Could she mean the Salahis?

And even before the premiere of the show that Ommanney may or may not appear on, she is plugging a book, “Inbox Full,” which details a four-year period in her love life through diary entries and text messages.

There’s no word on when the “Real Housewives” cast will be revealed; a Bravo spokeswoman was mum about an official release date Monday, although she did shoot down rumors that it would be announced today.
