How Jungle Girl Bindi Irwin Keeps Dad's Spirit Alive

Eight-year-old Bindi Irwin holds a deadly looking snake. "This snake is very venomous," she says into the camera. "Is this true, or am I just... whoa!" — she ducks and weaves as the critter's head oscillates wildly  — "bluffing?" Wendy the Woma python is not cooperating. Bindi's mom, Terri, jumps in on the sixth take as the highly endangered snake slithers across the table and out of the shot. "Bindi, that's brilliant," Terri says. "Just look at the screen and don't worry about the snake. If you need to do anything, do like Daddy — spread your arms and legs wide and jump around!" The crew laughs. Bindi nails it and gives the python a kiss on the head. (Turns out she was bluffing.) "Doing like Daddy" comes naturally to the plucky girl in pigtails and de rigueur khaki. Daddy, of course, is t

Steve Irwin Death Tape Handed Over to Widow

Aussie authorities have handed over a video of crocodile hunter Steve Irwin's fatal September face-off with a stingray to his wife, Terri, and destroyed all copies so as to prevent the grisly footage from circulating to the public, reports the AP. "It was wholly appropriate that we took all possible steps to ensure something of such a personal and tragic nature did not fall into the wrong hands," Queensland state coroner Michael Barnes said in a statement. "This is in line with the wishes of the Irwin family."

Croc Hunter's South Park Appearance Stings

A surprise appearance in the Oct. 25 episode of South Park by the late Steve Irwin  accompanied by the stingray that killed him (!), and attending Satan's Halloween party (!!)  has sparked a bit of controversy. (Whodathunk?) John Beyer of the U.K.'s Mediawatch, for one, tells the Associated Press that the animated cameo was "grossly insensitive." Comedy Central's Tony Fox, though, notes that series masterminds Trey Parker and Matt Stone are "largely free to do what they like in terms of creativity." May I, Ben, add on their behalf, that if you don't appreciate their freewheeling sense of humor, you can simply not watch and, as Cartman would say, quit breakin' their balls.

Series On Hold for Steve Irwin's Daughter

According to the Hollywood Reporter, Steve Irwin's daughter will hold off a year before starring in her own nature series, tentatively titled Bindi, the Jungle Girl, amid outside concerns that the 8-year-old's childhood could be lost to her emulation of her father's exploits. "I can't understand what all the fuss is about," the family's manager told Aussie papers, insisting the delay has nothing to do with charges of exploiting the youngster.

Steve Irwin's Wife: His Death Will Never Air

In the first interview she has given since her husband's sudden death, Terri Irwin tells ABC's 20/20 that Steve's final moments, caught on film by the cameraman covering his ill-fated Sept. 4 expedition, will never be seen on television. "It won't be, no. No. What purpose would that serve?" she says, adding that she herself has not seen the footage. Traveling in southern Australia with their kids, ages 8 and 2, when she got word of the tragic incident, Terri says, "It was an accident so stupid, like running with a pencil. It was a risk he was taking. And I couldn't fall to pieces because the children were there."
