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*

31. Terri and Bindi are doing a great job over there for Australia week. Bindi is not missing any school as its the holidays over here and besides that, she is home schooled. Her teacher goes everywhere with them because Steve didnt want his kids missing out on seeing all the amazing places and animals that he saw in their travels.
Bindi is a "little beauty" and is doing a great job taking over for her dad.

32. She wants to be just like her idiot father eh? Maybe if she's lucky she'll get stabbed by a sting ray too. I'm tired of listening to these retards who are treating this as some sort of unfortunate accident. It's NOT. Sting ray deaths are incredibly rare and Steve had a history of pissing off dangerous animals. Do the math. People should stop glorifying and respecting this clown. Sitting back and allowing Bindi to emulate her father shows that Terri is just as much of an idiot as her husband was.

33. I've noticed that most of the blog entries from our friends "down under" use a language that looks remarkably like ENGLISH, except without all the pesky things like, spelling, grammar and punctuation.
If Steve Irwin was your "National Hero", what a sad, godforsaken sdh*ithole of a country!
Sorry mates, but it must suck to be from a land where men are men...and sheep are nervous!
"Yes (he) deserved to die, and I hope (he) burns in hell!"

34. What an Aussie?
A person who couldn't afford passage to NEW ZEALAND!

35. my son was Bindi's age when his dad died. I cannot even imagine him doing what this girl is being made to do. she needs to just stay in Australia and go to school and be around her friends. this poor girl may be 'coping' now, just wait until she gets older and has a TON of issues. then how will her mom handle it? will she put her son onstage to overcompensate?

36. I'm sorry but this is EXPLOITATION at its WORST! NOBODY is going to tell me that an 8 year old little girl KNOWS what she wants to do when she grows up without it being brainwashed in her head! There are college kids that change their majors a dozen times----a month!! Give me a break!! It is so obvious Bindi is taking acting lessons left and right, and is CONSTANTLY being coached as to what to say when asked what! And what's really going to be sad is one day when Bindi does grow up and truly realizes that she wants to do something else in her life besides work with animals, she is going to go into such a guilt trip and fall into a depression thinking something is wrong with her for actually wanting to do something else with her life that has NOTHING to do with the animals. I can not believe any mother would allow their child to go through this. How sad! And all for money and fame.

Well Well Well
I see MR> corvette stingray brought his FOAM OUT THE MOUTH OF THE SOUTH back to comment on a Irwin family member.
Only thing is..........looks like he likes to pick on one as young as Bindi because he knows she is not here to defend herself.
So my point is........................
You must like hiding behind that computer of yours and talk smack like you had iron balls
And then to demean ones culture just because you see fit.
NEWS FLASH.........................
WHAT GOES AROUND CAN COME BACK AROUND AND JACK SLAP YOU RIGHT IN THE FACE MY FRIEND.

Enough said and no more of my wasting effort and energy with sad people like you

38. Steve Irwin did not have a degree in biology. He had no degree at all. As to his wife and daughter carrying on - I think it's wonderful. If you don't like what they are doing, don't f***ing watch.

39. I just watched this video again, and it is SO SCRIPTED what comes out of Bindi's mouth! I mean that's pretty sad that a little girl needs to think that unless she becomes her dad, he won't be proud of her. She even made some comment like my dad made me who I am?????----and Terri is sitting behind her like the master ventriloquist that she is. Also, the Polyanna flipping the hair, shaking the head while skipping out with a lizard in your hand is WAAAAYYYYY TOO MUCH!!! Puleeeezzzzeeee. Gag!

43. To corvette sting ray! (what a stupid name)
If you continue these snide, useless, pathetic and jealous comments then i'll continue to comment on YOU! you piece of sh*t.

If Steve were alive he would shove a top jaw rope in ya mouth and string ya up in a 50 ft. tall red gum by it coz thats what you deserve.

Steve isn't alive to defend himself so i'm telling you PISS OFF YA BLOODY WANKA!

44. F*** OFF THE LOT OF YAS!

Posted at 2:59AM on Jan 13th 2007 by bite me corvet stingray, sting ray, my opinion and any other bastard who has negative comments about Bindi and Terri.

45. Bindi and Terri are doing a great job taking up were Steve left off, goo on 'em.
I think fat heads who no jack about other countries like this 'corvette stingray' person need to just get over them selves. I mean what a loser! the bullsh*t this person is totaly unrelated to the story anyway.
What a f***ing c**t!

Oh and by the way u loser, no one in Aus actually says half the crap you're spouting anyway. You know nothing about Australia, we have a proud history just like you do and I am very good friends with several of you'r fellow countrymen who live here.
