Mitch Kellaway: Father's Day as a Transgender Man
Croc hunter's daughter a star in her own right
Filed under: Celeb Kids, Celeb Parents
Bindi Irwin, the 8 year-old daughter of the late Steve Irwin, TV's widely popular "Crocodile Hunter," is about to embark on her own showbiz career. She'll be all over the United States this week, giving speeches and making television appearances.
The ambitious youngster is set to star in the "Bindi, the Jungle Girl" series on the Discovery Kid Network later this year.
Her media blitz includes addressing the National Press Club in Washington, as well as appearing on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show," and "The Late Show" with David Letterman. Bindi will also be teaming up with The Wiggles for concerts in Los Angeles and New York.
All this, as her father's final documentary, "Ocean's Deadliest" -- the show that he was filming when he died -- airs on TV for the first time. Under the shadow of her father's tragic death, Bindi is a truly brave little girl for following in his footsteps.

Ginny said...Glad to see she is going forth with her planned show. My kids have grown up seeing Bindi on the Crocodile Hunter and were quite upset to find out that Steve Irwin died. I think they'll enjoy Bindi's show immensely.

Jessica-from-Iowa said...I think what this girl is doing is great thing. She wants to carry on her father's lifestyle. None of you should be bothered by her doing all of these things. Instead of mourning she is helping out in every way she can. If this is what helps her get through her father's tragic death then so be it. And her mother is not a bad mother for allowing this to go on, she is supporting her in her decisions. So please don't critize her for what she is doing.

Cheryl Taylor said...I'm glad to see Bindi handling her fathers death like she is. She is so much more mature at her age then a lot of our children today. I for one am very happy to see the way she is handling things. I say leave her, her mom and brother alone.

Amy said...Everyone has to grieve in their own way. I'm very surprised that her mother is letting her do this, as she must be working with alot of the same people her father did, and doing basically the same thing. If she can handle it, why should we have a problem with it? Think how proud her father would be!
