LARA BINGLE'S FUTURE WITH SPEEDO

She lost her fiance Michael Clarke and the $6.5 million Bondi home they shared, not to mention her $200,000 contract with Vodafone, but Lara Bingle still has money coming in - anyway.

Since splitting with Clarke in April, her one major deal - worth $250,000 a year with swimwear range Speedo - was reportedly under review.

But after returning from a two-month holiday in the US and South Africa last week, the blonde Shire-ess has revived her fortunes with a meeting at Speedo's Darlinghurst offices.

The model was snapped clutching a dossier about her future with the brand - but only for the upcoming summer, with next year still to be negotiated.

"The marketing manager from Speedo, Tiffany Scott, met with Lara Bingle for a general catch up after her return from New York," a company spokeswoman told us. "Speedo will be working with Lara for the upcoming summer 2010 Beach campaign."

Bingle's quest to go incognito with a car other than her old Aston Martin has not worked - her mum's black Audi S5 is proving a head-turner.

LARA HAS LOW-KEY ARRIVAL BACK IN SYDNEY

Lara Bingle has arrived back in Australia after her three month working-holiday in the United States.

She fled Australia under intense scrutiny in late May following the end of her engagement to Michael Clarke, but the welcoming committee for Lara Bingle when she flew home yesterday was lean - her mother Sharon and two photographers.

While she didn't reveal whether she'd found any work during her stint in the US, the model did reveal she'd been to the World Cup in South Africa on her way home after spending a few days in LA and weeks in New York.

"I'm really jet-lagged and it's so freezing here," she said as she made her way to devoted mother Sharon's car.

No doubt her choice of travel wardrobe - head-to-toe figure-hugging black leather - was a wardrobe choice designed to stave off the Sydney chill.

Bingle, we're informed, was without a working visa during her time in the US so in the end the trip turned out to be a holiday.

The bikini babe is now said to be moving back in with her mother.
