LARA BINGLE'S REALITY: "I'M SO USED TO BEING ON MY OWN, I GET QUITE LONELY"

Her life is a dizzying parade of parties, photoshoots and A-list events but despite all the glitz and glamour, Lara Bingle says she is very lonely.

"I'm so used to being on my own, I get quite lonely," the 24-year-old told The Sunday Telegraph after wrapping up her first week of filming for the Ten reality show, Being Lara Bingle.

"I'm very trusting and have been my whole life, so at one point I had to pull back a bit over the past year because everyone does have an agenda and sometimes it's not the best for you."

The starlet has not been in a long-term relationship since she split with fiance, Aussie cricket captain Michael Clarke in early 2010. And just to ensure she doesn't go entirely stir crazy, Bingle, last week shacked up with her brother, Josh, in Bondi and he will also feature prominently in the fly-on-the-wall series.

But the model has laid down a "no-go" girls policy.

"I haven't lived with my brother since I was very young," she says. "I moved out of home when I was 16 so it's kind of nice to have your family with you and have that support. But there has to be some rules because he can't just have girls over. So we're going to have sit down and establish a few house rules."

With a history of career hiccups, she said she wanted to make the show work. "I said yes to it and I believe in it and if I don't, no one else will."

LOOK AT LARA'S NEW DIGS

334260-lara-bingle-twitter

Budding reality TV starlet Lara Bingle returned to Sydney from LA this week to continue shooting her new Channel 10 series, Being Lara Bingle.

Having moved out of her modest Darling Point one-bedder and into a rented clifftop abode in Bondi, the spunky blonde is believed to have journeyed to California to shoot the opening montage of the day-in-the-life-of show, including snippets depicting her cavorting on a beach and a rumoured appearance at the Coachella music festival.

While the docu-drama will also capture Bingle's travels to India - where her celebrity status is surprisingly high thanks to her cricket WAG past - next week her cameras will be on overdrive for Mercedes Benz Fashion Week Australia. Circular Quay snoops say, at the very least, Bingle is working on something with US reality star-turned designer Whitney Port, who will launch her label Whitney Eve on Monday.

LARA LAUGHS OFF HOOK UP RUMOURS

Lara Bingle has laughed off widespread whispers about a hook-up with AFL convert Israel Folau.

The new season GWS Giants player is the latest lad to be linked to La Bingle - but the model had never even heard of him when Confidential asked her about it.

"I know, everyone has been saying that but no, it's not right," she said.

"I didn't know who he was until people started asking.

"(My manager) Hermione has been getting calls about it all week and she was like 'Who is Israel?'."

Guess that settles it.

Folau is a mormon, which is not exactly Bingle's type.

LARA'S ON THE MOVE, BACK TO BONDI

Reality TV debutant Lara Bingle is moving out of her sweet one-bedroom flat in Darling Point and back to Bondi ... at least for the time being.

The model, her full-time manager Hermione Underwood and brother Josh have rented a house in the beachside hamlet she once called home with Michael Clarke in preparation for filming to begin next week on her TV show, Being Lara Bingle.

It's understood the trio needed a bigger space to shoot the 10-part series, which has already garnered interest from UK and Indian markets.

"We're all ready and we leave for LA on Wednesday to start," Bingle said.

The show will be turned around for a May premiere.

LARA BINGLE DOESN'T APPEAR TOO KEEN ON THE LOGIES

It may be the television event that stops time for some but model turned emerging reality starlet Lara Bingle is to miss this month's Logies.

The former WAG and Dancing With The Stars contender, who is set to star in her own reality show on Ten later this month, has been extended an invitation to the glitzy bash at Palladium at Crown.

While Bingle has not given a definite answer, sources say she has declined because she is busy on other projects.

"It's a bit of a blow to Ten as she is potentially one of their bigger stars, who does command a lot of press coverage," a spy told Confidential.

Officially, however, her manager Hermione Underwood yesterday said Bingle won't be attending the Logie Awards gala "at this point" due to schedule conflicts, but was working on a way to "make it happen".

It certainly seems an out-of-character move for Bingle, who was a red-carpet regular at the Allan Border Medal when she was engaged to now Australian cricket team captain Michael Clarke.

This year would have marked her Logies debut, with her fly-on-the-wall reality show Being Lara Bingle one of Ten's few ratings hopes of this year.
