Guess who's making their eagerly awaited trip back to television? I'll give you a hint - a girl that caught Australia's attention with a catchphrase. No... It’s not the 'Chk Chk Boom' girl (Although what ever happened to her? I hope something terrible). It's Lara Bingle - the hot chick that said "Where the bloody hell are you?" in ads that aired around the world. Yep. Her. Excited?
The reality programme now set to air on Channel 10 during primetime Tuesdays will seemingly be the answer to all those yearning questions we lose sleep over every night, like 'What does Lara Bingle do?', 'Does she actually do anything?' and 'No, really - why does this woman get so much attention?'
The show which is dubbed as being 'a portrayal of the real person behind the headlines' has already come under attack of being fabricated, as it appears the apartment that is supposed to be Lara's home is actually being rented out by the producers.
Does she get a job as a maid or something?
The first of many promotional trailers seems to focus on the nude picture controversy that has followed her around her whole career. In the promo she is showing her best friend/Manager, Hermione, photos that have been taken while she has been walking around her glass-walled holiday house naked. Hermione says things like, "Oh my gawd" and Lara responds with things like, "This sucks". It’s gonna be eye-opening guys.
According to Greg Hassel from SMH who got a preview screening of the first episode, 'The show invites us to laugh at Bingle as much as with her, but does so gently. So in terms of who is exploiting whom, it would seem the ledger is just about even'. He also speaks about the rest of the main cast, including Lara's brother Joshua (apparently Lara got the brains in the family - if the promos are correct and Lara does in fact get pulled over by a police officer and is genuinely unsure if she has a license, we must all pray for Joshua).
Despite the critical backlash, the show is gaining a lot of momentum as it gets closer to its premiere date. Channel 10 apparently receives “dozens” of calls a day asking about it (you hear that - dozens of calls – let’s all call Channel 10 now and demand they bring Totally Full Frontal back.)
So if you don't like The Big Bang Theory or Once Upon A Time, you haven't got any studying, homework or housework that needs doing, and you haven't got any good movies laying around the house, Being Lara Bingle will premiere June 12th on Channel 10.
