Bingle’N'Pup Watch: “Why Do People Like Watching Us Picking Up Poo?

Oooh, I’m excited! It’s been a while since I’ve had an excuse to check in on the relationship between Lara Bingle and Michael Clarke, so I’m thrilled to see that the Pup’s gone and opened up to the papers. Mostly about their dogs, it seems.

“We get embarrassed when some things appear in the papers,” Clarke told The Australian yesterday as he prepared for the Ashes-deciding Test at the Oval, beginning on Thursday.

“Who cares? There are a million things going on in the world, much bigger things than me and Lara picking up dog poo from my balcony. We’re at a stage now where we laugh at that sort of stuff. Lara takes the dog for a walk, she doesn’t do it to get her photo taken, she does it to take the dogs for a walk. But we accept that sometimes people are going to write about it.

“And the media is a big part of professional sportsmen and models making money as well, so you have to understand there are both sides to it. There are plenty of positives, don’t get me wrong, but there are times when we wish we could be left alone.”

Those times are presumably in between the cover shoots for ladygossipmags.

Actually, other than harping on about dog poo (and I must admit, I am always quite happy to chat for hours about that particular topic), he sounds like a pretty switched on guy in the rest of this article. Stay away from giving emotional tell all interviews in magazines then, Pup! I’ll respect you more!

BINGLE’N’PUP WATCH!

CURRENT STATUS: ELBOW DEEP IN DOG SHIT, BUT STILL TOGETHER.
