Tareq Salahi Preps For 'Celebrity Fight Night' Bout With Jose Canseco (VIDEO)

Former White House partycrasher Tareq Salahi says he's getting "back to the old me," after losing 16 pounds and reestablishing his "flat stomach." Attributing his weight loss to stress and sit-ups, he said in an interview with "Access Hollywood" that he's focused and ready to face Jose Canseco in an upcoming "Celebrity Fight Night" bout on Saturday.

Salahi, who recently separated from wife Michaele, said that he's "going to start aggressive."

Next he'll announce his candidacy for the Republican presidential nomination. And he'd fit right in.

Wasn't he claiming that his wife was kidnapped a few weeks ago?

Make it a WWE Monday Night Raw event promoted by Vince McMahon and let Canseco use a baseball bat on this mutt and let Tareq use his ex-wife Michaele to beat Jose over the head with.

Amazing - the weight he lost in his gut has lodged itself under his chin. I guess matter really can't be created or destroyed.

They were on TV.....celebrities. Wikipedia: While people may gain celebrity status as a result of a successful career in a particular field, in other cases, people become celebrities due to media attention for their extravagant lifestyle or wealth (as in the case of a socialite) such as Paris Hilton or Kim Kardashian;

The winner should then have to marry Kim Kardashian on Pay Per View right after the fight.

Dude, you don't have to go out and get your face smashed-in just because your wife left you.
