Lara Bingle sues Aussie paparazzi for harassment

Lara Bingle has blasted Sydney paparazzi for continually harassing her.

The 24-year-old Australian swimwear model, who is currently believed to be dating rugby player Danny Cipriani, has decided to take legal action and get an Apprehended Violence Order (AVO) against photographer Jamie Fawcett.

Bingle told The Sunday Telegraph: "Jamie has gone too far in his approach and every time I walk out my door he is yelling rude comments to provoke me and will not leave me alone. It has gotten to the point now where I have to meet with my lawyer in the next couple of weeks to look into what I can do to protect myself in the way of an AVO... to keep him away."

The star also admitted that she had perhaps been sending mixed messages to the press after aligning herself with Fawcett's rival photo agency Big Pictures, run by her business partner Darryn Lyons.

Earlier this week - when Bingle gave Lyons permission to photograph her on holiday in Bora Bora with Cipriani - Fawcett labelled her a hypocrite for demanding privacy at the same time as allowing photos to be published.

When Cipriani and Bingle were first romantically linked last month, she insisted that their relationship was platonic and said that the media could not deal with the fact that she has "a lot of male friends".

Bingle split from cricketer Michael Clarke last year after topless photographs of her were leaked to the press.

Lara Bingle planning to include her nude pics in beauty book

Michael Clarke's former fiance Lara Bingle has revealed that she is putting together a beauty book which will be about 'make-up and stuff' and is toying with the idea of including nude shots of herself.

The model popped up on radio to give a rare in-depth interview about herself, life and nudity.
As for her rumoured long distance lover and US singer Jason Derulo, she said they were just mates.

"I recently spent time with him in London - we''''re friends," the Daily Telegraph quoted her as telling the Kyle and Jackie O breakfast show.

But she won''''t be singing on his album or ever release one of her own.

"I am the worst singer but I''''m really good in the shower amazing in the shower!''''''''

Lara Bingle 'signs deal with photo agency'

Aussie bikini model Lara Bingle has reportedly signed a deal with a photo agency.
She is said to have struck a deal with photo agency Big Pictures for a cut of profits made from her own photos.

It is understood rival agencies are seething over the deal, which are generally commonplace in the US.
The move means Bingle can create and control the pictures released for sale to magazines and newspapers.
Bingle was snapped yesterday looking perfect after a long-haul flight from London.
The photo had a price tag of 250 dollars and it is thought Bingle would receive about 50 per cent of profits in a deal.

News of an alliance came as a surprise to Bingle's manager, Titus Day, who denied the pin-up had struck an agreement with self-proclaimed "Mr Paparazzi" Darren Lyons.

"We haven't done any deals with anyone," the Daily Telegraph quoted Day as saying.
But the millionaire Big Pictures agency owner has been seen lunching with Bingle on several occasions in recent weeks, and the former cricket WAG was seen at Sydney airport recently giving one Big Pictures photographer directions to her location.

Lara Bingle 'back on track after bad year'

It looks like Lara Bingle has finally bounced back after a bad 2010.

Following her very public split with Michael Clarke, 2010 turned out a tough year for the model.

And it didn't end well after she lost her driving licence.
It's believed that Bingle is off the road for six months.

"It wasn't one hit, it was for a number of random speeding fines that added up to take away her licence," the Herald Sun quoted a pal as saying.

"She gets her licence back around May," the pal said.

Soon after she lost her licence, Bingle headed to New York and Los Angeles, where she spent time with her rumoured love interest, singer Jason Derulo.

But she has now indicated she has a fresh attitude and some new projects on the way.

The model seemed to be in a great mood this week.
"I'm so grateful. I'm alive and living the dream. I'm living my dreams, thank you," she said on Twitter.

Bingle has been on a "working holiday" in the States for a few weeks and recently posted pictures of herself and Derulo in a recording studio on her Twitter page.

Derulo told US Magazine that he thinks Bingle is "hot" but isn't dating anyone "seriously" at the moment, saying: "I'm kind of messing around. I'm focused on what I'm doing, but if the right girl came along then that would change things."

"I guess anytime a relationship doesn't go the way it's supposed to go and you split up, then there's hard times. It was certainly a tough time, I'm sure, for both of us.

"I'll never understand why there is so much interest in my personal life. For me, it was eight months ago, I'm looking forward."

Bingle recently said that she and Clarke are "the best of friends" and still "have amazing chemistry".

Lara Bingle Nude Shower Photo

Aussie supermodel Lara Bingle has been naked in numerous publications and ads before (just like any self-respecting supermodel should), but there's one nude photo that got under her fingernails.

About four years ago the blonde Australian model had a secret affair with football player Brendan Fevola. During their romance, Fevola snapped a nude photo of Lara in the shower and after their breakup, he made it public.

The past weekend several newspapers and publications down under printed the photo. As a result, a very unhappy Lara Bingle announced today her intentions to sue her ex-boyfriend. Her manager said:
"Lara Bingle is taking legal action against Brendan Fevola for breach of privacy, defamation and misuse of her image"
