BEING LARA BINGLE

Just when you thought you'd seen enough reality TV for one lifetime, one more show comes along to prevent you from getting on with the really important shit in your life. Feeling lost in the wilderness at the completion of "The Voice"; "Being Lara Bingle" quickly picked up the baton.
As a nation we were introduced to Miss Bingle in the Australian Tourism ads. A bikini clad Bingle recited the immortal words "Where the bloody hell are ya?"and went onto captivate an International audience.(well kind of)
From here, her notoriety grew more for her personal life than any model or TV engagements she was involved with. Her association with both cricket legend Michael Clarke and bad boy Brendan Fevola were headline material. Shes's also managed to have more nude photos published than Paris Hilton.
"Being Lara Bingle" follows both both the professional and private world of Lara.
Lara fits perfectly into the Barbie mould. Although I think Barbie may have had a few more brain cells.
Her insolent response to yet more nude photos made me cry out"Hey Lara don't bite the hand that feeds you" Although I fear she would not get it...
Harsh? Sure but Lara has now become the blonde bombshell we love to hate. Feeling slightly riduccled at her admission of God Forbid "CELLULITE!!!!" And just downright agitated at her intrinsic sense of self importance.
Doesn't she know there are people starving in the world????!!!
Lara comes across as a vague starlight whose taking too many xaenex and acts completely miffed when something doesn't go her way. Temper Temper Lara..
Nevertheless, I continue to tune in every Tuesday at 8 pm. It makes me feel better about my spiritual self you know?
Lara has what you would call a mouth from the South. When being interviewed by a prospective talent scout in LA;she refers to Ryan Seacrest (aka American Idol host) as being "small"-while gestering that it was in fact his"little soldier" not his height.
Sure Lara,that's one way top to the top...
If she's not driving without a license,she's disrespecting her elders and whingeing that she feels "dirty". Are there no limits to this tempeteuous carry on!!!???
I guess if there was there would be no show. And despite its drop in ratings from the first episode,loyal fans of this blonde dynamo keep coming back for more.
After writing this blog,I took a few weeks off the show. Sure I missed the contrived scandal but am feeling morally invigorated. Yes there is always a place for reality TV shows. This one however promises no prize and will merely suffice that Celebrity and fame has nothing to do with talent.
