Lara Bingle - what does she deserve or need?

[fish]

She may be stupid and impulsive, or she may be ruthless in grabbing other women's men.
Regardless of that, no one is justified in taking pictures and circulating them without her consent.

Bingles face is probably the least attractive part of here. (atleast 2-3 points below the rest of her) Its like her face, in particular her mouth is too big for her own head. Inbred mungo genes perhaps?

[pom pom]

What goes around, comes around!

[stampy]

i find it hard to believe that she didnt know fev was married, either that or she is a dumb bitch, maybe both

[X Runna]

This is why I posted this thread...........I am not a Fev fan after the Brownlow, but have a very distinct feeling he is being set up here somehow. She seems to be a money & fame seeking bitch.

She needs to be shown she can't exploit people and deserves to be treated like a piece of sh!t.

Double-page spread in Saturday's Teletrash 'Sydney Confidential'.

Interview on A Current Affair tomorrow night to set the record straight.

This whole fiasco is stained with Max Markson's grubby fingerprints.

His classy clients also include Corey Worthington and the Chk-Chk-Boom girl...

There was one thing my poor old mother got right.
She used to say, "Two wrongs don't make a right!"

There was one thing my poor old mother got right.
She used to say, "Two wrongs don't make a right!"

Just on that, there was a defensive driving tip my dad once gave me:-

"If you must have a bingle, have a slow one"

Sound advice it seems.



Anyway, for those interested, below is a crikey piece by Andrew Crook courtesy Independent Weekly's "Indaily PM" Friday 05/03/10.



And the Wankley goes to ... everyone involved in the Bingle affair

Bingle. Fevola. The shower. That photo. Everyone has dipped their nibs into the inkwell of shame.

Alongside the usual tabloid tosh, you can count Mia Freedman, football hardwoman Caroline Wilson and public relations expert Sue Cato. They've all swallowed it.

Bingle, in the space of five days, has transformed from onetime home wrecker/cricket WAG/bikini babe turned fashionista into the cowed victim of media villain and Brisbane Lions star recruit Brendan Fevola.

The major players -- Woman's Day, celebrity agent Max Markson, Channel Nine and Bingle herself -- have given the amateurs a lesson in how to turn a grainy three-year-old mobile phone pic into rivers of cash.

Here are the Bingle bullet points -- a timeline of events:

* Woman's Day, published by ACP, is owned by PBL. Channel Nine, also owned by PBL, is the major broadcast backer of the Australian cricket team -- of which Bingle's fiancee Michael Clarke is the vice-captain.

*The pic's source was freelance journo Dylan Howard, who was sacked by bitter Nine rivals Channel Seven for rifling through private medical records.

* Newspapers and Channel Nine report Bingle's public spat with Clarke at the Twenty20 cricket. Nine runs big on the fight yarn, backed by images from shocked SCG Members. Clarke was portrayed as the victim of a Bingle hissy-fit.

* Shortly after the spat, Markson signs Bingle, whose career was thought to be in free fall, (sources have told Crikey that TV wouldn't touch her) for an undisclosed sum, remaining mute on any money-making projects the 22-year-old had in the pipeline.

* Two days later, Howard's Bingle pic emerges in Woman's Day, guaranteeing blanket coverage and sending the AFL and Fevola's Brisbane Lions into damage control.

* Cue front page coverage in the Herald Sun, interviews on Channel Nine's Today show, a pro-Bingle story on A Current Affair, and a prominent page-five story in the Daily Telegraph.

*Markson announces Bingle will sue Fevola for defamation, a claim that is immediately laughed off by lawyers because Bingle is "coming off a low base".

* Then comes this:

From: Max Markson

Subject: LARA BINGLE ANNOUNCEMENT

Press Release on Lara Bingle

Woman’s Day will exclusively reveal Lara Bingle’s side of the Brendan Fevola nude photo scandal in Monday’s issue.

She chose to speak to Woman’s Day to explain why she is suing Brendan Fevola for leaking the unauthorised image.

For her full story and an exclusive photo shoot shot on location in Sydney on Wednesday see Woman’s Day on Monday.

A webcast shot behind the scenes at Lara’s Woman’s Day shoot will be available online at womansday from 9am Monday.

*The fee for the interview, which Markson refuses to disclose, is rumoured to be $200,000, of which Markson, based on his usual 30% cut, will snare about $60,000.

Before yesterday, Woman's Day coverage of Bingle was consistently negative, with the swimsuit model usually portrayed as a threat to housewives.

Crikey understands Bingle and a reluctant Clarke had been attempting to negotiate a sit-down interview with Connolly and her rivals at New Idea for months. The previous fee was reported to be a fraction of the $200,000 Bingle will receive for Monday's splash.

Special mention has to go to Cato, who enlisted a spectacularly icky meat metaphor on Crikey's sister site Business Spectator this morning:

"This is a story about a piece of meat -- dare we say, a piece of fillet. The meat was dropped into a pool of sharks. At first the sharks just circled it, but knowing it was a particularly tender cut, it was only a matter of time before the feeding frenzy began and there would be plenty of blood in the water."

Cato concluded: "Any piece of meat is fine so long as it plays its role, bleeds profusely and provides salacious copy." – Andrew Crook

I hope everyone in that story gets turbo-aids.

[Ace of Spades]

Geez this woman has already thrown footy into termoil, and now shes buggered up our cricket team by bringing pup home, at the moment that photo is the only positive thing shes got going for her! Someone keep her away from the A league, please
