Bindi & Terri Invade US

Click to return to TMZ.comThe late Crocodile Hunter's wife and precocious daughter are stateside on a promotional tour, popping up this week on the couches of Jay Leno and Ellen DeGeneres.

Though Terri Irwin broke into tears on "The Tonight Show" last night when talking about super-daughter Bindi, the Crocodile Huntress gracefully recovered -- joking about putting a used tissue back into the box. "It's like double-dipping!" said Terri, "Once it touches your nose you're not supposed to put it back."

In an interview airing on Friday's "The Ellen DeGeneres Show," hunter-with-training-wheels Bindi admits, "I just love animals ...I want him [father Steve] to be proud of me." *sniff*

16. Please note:
1969 Corvette Sting Ray is NOT to be confused with Sting Ray.
While I respect your right to your ill-formed opinions, please direct your hateful remarks to the CORRECT...Sting Ray.
And, again thanks for reading!

No sh*t!
They must have different social customs in Australia, and Eugene, OR. In the civilized world, we don't re-use personal paper products like tissues, toilet paper and paper plates!

18. No shit, it's summer in Aussie, by crikey mate,,, that's even a better reason to exploit this kid,,, my bad. Nothing like summer vacation pimping a father's loving memories, while Terry schools herself in being a stage mom.

By the way--- Go Beavers

19. I loved Steve Irwin! I commend Terry and little Bindi. They are taking their horrible tragedy and continuing with Steve's conservation efforts. And ALL negative commentors ( Sting Ray) can go to hell.

You wouldn't be so quick to write a joke about someone dying in a horrible car accident, or of cancer/. Or maybe you would, you sick freaks

22. #8 Sting Ray, IT.
I admire Steve, Terri, but their daughter needs to be off center stage. When she is 16 ,fine. She needs to be in childhood right now. Had he lived, it would ahv ebeen different to have her out on center stage for some things, not too much.

23. YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY FULL OF SH*T STING RAY!
As a Proud Aussie, I resent what you are saying about Bindi and so would Steve.
For you imformation Bindi is on school holidays at the moment just like my 3 kids are.stuopid, and she is in fact an honour student, she has blitzed all her classes with flying colors. I know this because Terri and Bindi came on A Current Affair and did an interview.
You on the other hand are as dumb as dog sh*t and don't really know anything about this brave little tacker.
She is an insperation to all Aussie kids ond adults, and the flawless way she stood up at her dad's memorial service and spoke about her him was absolutely imsperational.
Crikey you a flami'n, idiot, grow a bloody brain before ya comment on somethi'n ya obviously know nothi'n about mate!

24. I would like to take the time to wish Terri, Bindi and li'l Bob all the best.
And as for that scumbag stingray; who wrote the biggest pile of crap, and obviously doesn't understand that we have school holidays at Xmas time; not in the middle of the year like you yanks do. You are garbage and you need to seriously stick your head into a bucket of water 3 times and only pull it out twice you sorry excuse for a human being.
GO BINDERS, YOU RULE!

25. Terri needs to be careful with Bindi. Kids thrust into the spotlight like this can't always handle the pressure after a while.

Common sense says to keep these kids at home, be a family and let the show biz stuff alone for a while. Yes, Steve had a lot to say and did a lot of good as a conservationist.

There is a time and a place for everything. Let Bindi do some growing up first and take some time to come to terms with her daddy's tragic death. A few months just doesn't do it.

I hope they do keep on with Steve's work.....but not just yet. They need some time to grieve and heal. The work will still be there in another 6 months!

26. GOO ON YA TERRI AND BINDI< YOU GO!
I would like to express what a bloody dickhead this so called stingra person (VERY BAD TASTE IN BLOG NAME BY THE WAY.) you are full of it and you don't have a clue what your on about GO BACK TO THE GUTTER AND STAY THERE YOU PILE OF FILTH!
And as for everyone who keeps saying Bindi is being exploited they obviously don't know her at all. Bindi is just like her dad vibrant and out going and just a very happy go lucky person who is doing exactly what she wants to so leave her and Terri alone and let them get on with their lives, if you don't like it then get stuffed!

I want you to remember one thing ... I love my kids and my Wife . Don't make fun of them for the effort they show in spite of My passing off . They just hung around me alot' and I was always on the go ! Takin' after the old man ! I'm proud of 'em .

I'm glad to see even after my leaving Earth that I am pissin' off both the right and the left . God is great ! Love you !

28. If delving into work and public appearances can help keep the Irwins from dwelling on their tragedy, I say more power to them. They are`doing what they love, and undoubtedly what Steve Irwin would want for them.

And Terri Irwin seems like a pretty smart and decent mother. I am not going to assume I know what is best for her daughter. For all I know, it might be more difficult for them to be at home.

29. Sting ray, you are a fair dinkum idiot.!

30. Terri and Bindi are honoring Steve Irwin's life-long work. Conservationists can rest easy as the Irwin's legacy will continue with an American at the helm.
Bindi is adorable and it's obvious she's trying very hard to be strong, as is Terri! You don't have to agree......but some of you sound sort-of...well...envious....
