Can Lara Bingle emulate the success of Kim Kardashian as the star of her own reality TV series?
It seems one local television production company believes so, with market newcomer Eyeworks backing the project.
Confidential can reveal a sizzle reel has recently been circulated to TV networks teasing a reality series based on the model's life.
Yesterday producers at Eyeworks were not returning our calls but network sources said the promo reels had landed on programming executives' desks at the Seven and Ten networks.
The concept follows the simple yet effective reality show premise "if it happens, shoot it" and Bingle's fitness makeover gets an airing. Now if the program's producers can only persuade Bingle to let them film her uncensored after-dark activities, Confidential is confident the program will find an audience.
Clearly Bingle, nicknamed "Bucky" during her childhood, may have had her television close-up on her mind when she caught up with celebrity dentist David Carr in Double Bay on Monday. Carr looked to have something else on his mind however, the older man at one stage spotted massaging Bingle's neck.
Bingle wore a provocative T-shirt to the coffee date, our spies telling us the T-shirt screamed just one word, "F ... ".

LARA: 'STOP CALLING ME FAT!'
Standing up to recent body bullying, model Lara Bingle says putting on 6kg has her feeling happy and healthy despite negative media reports slamming her weight gain. But the former Speedos ambassador admits the pressure has been intense, with paparazzi standing outside her front door shouting, "Give us a fat shot, Lara!" Says Bingle: "It's been so full on. It's like, enough!"
But Bingle - who is the face of healthy eating program Eat Fit Food - insists she keeps her body image in check by focusing on being fit and healthy.
"I'm not trying to beat myself up or worry about hammering myself at the gym everyday - when you stress about that, it does more harm than good."
For Bingle, time is better spent maintaining an active lifestyle and a positive lease on life: 'I'm really happy right now...I just want to enjoy my life."
Instead, Bingle has been buoyed by the many positive Twitter comments she's received from girls sharing their own body image stories. "They're my real inspiration," says Bingle. "Whenever there's been a negative media report, they've come to my defence and say I've inspired them, and that's amazing to me."

TREERIFIC LARA ALL SMILES
Lara Bingle seemed to be taking up an unusual position between a truck and a tree when we snapped her standing with toes pointing in different directions.
Taking care of business, Lara made a cameo appearance in Celebrity Apprentice and told everyone she wasn't a fan of shopping.
Which is odd because she wants everyone else to be a fan of shopping and buy her sunglasses range, and her soon to be released coffee table book.
After hanging around behind the tree Lara was soon on her way smiling from ear to ear and brightening up the world in her own cheery way.
Treemendous is Lara.

CELEBRITY APPRENTICE TIME FOR LARA BINGLE
Model, budding entrepreneur and . . . Celebrity Apprentice? Lara Bingle took time out to film a cameo on the Channel 9 reality series recently, helping out in a kiddie-inspired challenge of creating a song to the tune of a popular nursery rhyme.
The episode, which also features Catriona Rowntree and Jono Coleman, airs tonight.
Meanwhile Bingle revealed that she's working on plans to launch a sunglasses collaboration early next year as well as a coffee table book, a blog and a fashion line with a yet-to-be-named label.
"I have definitely a whole list of things I want to achieve. There are about 30 on that list and I have ticked off about five so I have a bit still to go," Bingle said.
"I've been asked to release a fragrance in India because I spent a lot of time there when I was seeing Michael (Clarke) but I don't know. It could be something."

LARA: WHO MAGAZINE SEXIEST PEOPLE 2011
What's sexier--showing skin or covering up?
I have boobs, but unless I'm doing a shoot, I don't like putting them on show. I like to wear clothes that show a bit of skin, but I'm not into anything too revealing. It's nicer to leave a bit to the imagination.
What do you find sexy in a partner?
With a guy, it's all about confidence. If they're confident from within, it really shows. It's about owning what you have and who you are. That's a big tick in the box
Who's is seriously sexy?
[The model] Lara Stone. She's made a massive impact in fashion and empowering voluptuous women--she embodies sexiness all the time. It goes without saying that Kate Moss is incredibly sexy--she's one of my favourites. And you can't go past George Clooney, can you?
Your all-time sexiest destination?
Definitely Mexico. I also love tropical islands. I grew up at the beach, so that's sexy to me. Sitting in the sun, drinking cocktails--hot.
What do you think men find sexy about you?
That I'm my own person, and that I'm confident in who I am. I used to worry about what people thought of me, but at the end of the day that doesn't make you happy. Now I just live my life the way I want to.

LARA: CLARKEY STILL MY MATE
Theirs may have been one of the more headline-grabbing splits in celebdom but Lara Bingle says she and ex-fiance Michael Clarke are still close and are now talking regularly as they stitch up their friendship. "We talk a lot ... he was a massive part of my life," Bingle told Confidential.
She said she is keeping an eye on Clarke's progress in South Africa where Australia are set to begin their Test today.
"I don't follow cricket all the time but since he has been captain I am his No. 1 supporter.
"And I hear that they are doing really well."
Friendly exes they may be but Bingle, who appeared yesterday as an ambassador for detox food suppliers eatfitfood.com.au, admits she hasn't reached the stage that proves you really are over someone - meeting her former lover's the new girlfriend.
"No, I have never met her," Bingle said when asked had she crossed paths with Clarke's new model flame Kyly Boldy.
Baby steps Lara.
Meanwhile, the 24-year-old says that, after a brief romance with English rugby player Danny Cipriani - which she says was definitely not a stunt designed to make money out of a picture deal with a magazine - she is now totally single.
"And I'm not looking. Not at all. I find that when you start looking you never find anyone," she said.
As for her career, the one-time face (and body) of Australian tourism says she is bound for the US this Saturday in a bid to crack the international modelling scene.
"There's nothing that I can really talk about yet but I know I just have to spend more time there," Bingle said.
"I have management there so I'm hoping to get it all sorted."

I'VE PUT ON FIVE KILOS ... SO WHAT, SAYS LARA BINGLE
No stranger to controversy, beach babe Lara Bingle says she is used to copping criticism - just don't call her fat. The 24-year-old swimsuit model has added 5kg to her petite 168cm frame, but last week said she was happy to have accentuated her famous curves.
And while her weight gain has been hotly debated, Bingle said the extra kilos were actually the result of her healthier diet.
"I used to eat so badly when I was younger - lots of hot chips and pies - and I think it's all caught up with me," she said during a photo shoot for Who magazine's annual Sexiest People issue out Friday.
"I eat so much better now, and stick to a high-protein, low-carb diet, but it's like the healthier I am the bigger I am.
"Without a doubt it gets harder as you get older. I'm just trying to embrace my curves and make sure I stay fit and well."
Posing in a revealing black lace number, Bingle said she hoped the image would silence her critics once and for all.
"I'm proud of my body and how I look and this image is testament to that," Bingle told The Sunday Telegraph.
Despite her defiant attitude, sources close to the model said she was upset by the constant scrutiny over her weight and that she had shown great strength during scandals involving Aussie Rules footballer Brendan Fevola and her high-profile break-up from Test captain Michael Clarke.
"Lara is emotionally strong and physically healthy," one friend said. "She works out, eats well and looks good. How skinny do people want her to be?
"This is why women turn anorexic, because society places too much emphasis on how they look and what size they should be."
