The world's most precocious 8-year-old just became the world's most precocious 9-year-old! 
Bindi, chock full of animal magnetism, will be celebrating her birthday with a "mad celebration" at the Australia Zoo, where all kids under 14 will get in free! Plus free face painting and free rides! Crikey!
Steve Irwin was killed ten months ago while diving near the Great Barrier Reef, when a stingray barb pierced his heart.

Love Bindi and her mom, they r treasuring Dad's memories and family goals. The family has hired a psychologist from the get go and proceed cautiously with Bindi's animal conservationist focused kiddy career. Bini, her mom, and the brother are all surrounded by caring family and focused on good memories and a nonhollywood life.
She is far from a Lindsy in training, no way. Just the focus of animal and environmental conservation is so different from the Hilton and Riche childhoods. Nite and Day

Enjoy your birthday, proof will be in the pudding. So far, Bindi is involved in a wholesome life with good goals, totally removed from glamor and alcohol-adult red carpet appearances like Ms Lohan or Drew Barrymore did at that young age.
Animal and environmental conservation along with a strong family seems like a good foundation for a healthy future. Time will tell but see only a good spin so far.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY BINDI, enjoy the day! Have fun w/ mom and your brother.

News flash - lots of kids lose a parent or two, so why is she like the only one?
Annoying, cloying, pushed and prodded, to make money for the 'rents.

Your are a mental midget #12 - What is wrong with you? I LOVE this kid, she's the most animated and intelligent child I've seen in many years. She has good foundation, and unlike the other TMZ stories this morning, I just KNOW this child will be grounded and extremely successful. I love and admire her mother, just as much. Very refreshing, thank you TMZ for including some "Up" stories for a change. Go Bindi - You Rock !!!
