  We present new models of the rho-meson leading-twist light-cone distribution
amplitudes based on the QCD sum rule approach with nonlocal condensates. Their
shapes differ noticeably from that known in the literature. The
phenomenological consequences for physically important process B --> rho e nu
are discussed in the framework of the light-cone sum rules. The results are
compared with those found recently by P.Ball and V.M.Braun (1997).
