Pimping Out Steve's Children
Filed under: TV News > Australiastic
At the tender age of four, Steve Irwin's son, Bob, might host his own wildlife show.
In a recently filmed pilot, Bob expertly handles reptiles and even wrestles a mini-crocodile!
Crikey!
Taking after his father and even his older sister, Bindi, whose own animal program is broadcast on the Kids Discovery Channel, Bob insists on being, as he puts it, "mister independence."
The family watches Steve Irwin DVDs every morning at breakfast.
Isn't that a little bit creepy????????
Terri, Steve's widow, insists otherwise, saying that it's "comforting and familiar" and even "special" for Bindi and Bob, of whom she says "is a little Steve clone."
Better keep him clear of stingrays then!

Ok
I really liked Steve irwin,
but I'M SICK OF SEEING
HIS OVER EXPOSED KIDS
ON EVERYTHING MILKING
HIS FAME!!!!!!!
this kid creeps me out
What four-year-old says that kind of stuff? Crazy………
Craaazy family!
bahahaha stingrays…good one perez
Bindi is a great little show host. I'm sure her brother will do a great job too.
Dude, that stingray comment isn't even remotely funny. Have some respect.
And watching videos of a dead parent is not creepy. If my husband died when my children were young enough to forget him, I would show them videos, too.
Usually you make me laugh, Perez. But sometimes you cross the line.
perez…you can be such a dick sometimes. There is nothing wrong or creepy with them watching their dad every morning. It's way for the kids to grow up and not forget their father.
YAWN………
HIS DAUGHTER BINDI ALWAYS SEEMS TO BE ACTING! EVEN WHEN SHE IS JUST TALKING SHE OVER EXAGERATES HER WORDS AND COMES ACROSS FAKE! I THINK THE MOTHER SOMETIME USES HER HUSBANDS DEATH JUST FOR FAME AND FORTUNE! I KNOW IT'S HARD TO LOSE A HUSBAND AND A FAHTER BUT THEY ACT LIKE IT WAS YESTERDAY, SHE DOSEN'T SEEM TO ALLOW THE CHILDREN TO MOVE ON AND GET CLOSURE.
That stingray comment is a little inappropriate dontcha think! And whats wrong with his little kids wanting to see their daddy every morning theres nothing creepy about it im sure its very comforting to them!!
you're being a jerk, whats wrong with watching a dvd?
they creap me out.
noone is THAT happy all the time.
Your stingray comment is the creepiest part perez.
asshole
There is nothing wrong with his kids and wife watching videos of him to keep his memory alive. Obviously she wants them to grow up with the image of him around.
As for their overexposure, it may be too much. But the kids seem to love doing it. So what is the harm?
how can a 4 year old host his own show? Give me a break!
yawn.
slow day.
someone get arrested plz.
The kid is 4…Why would he have his own TV show?? That is ridiculous! Kids at that age should be out playing and leading carefree lives, not acting and putting themselves in danger in front of the camera! And maybe they want to do other things with their lives, not the risky business of "croc hunting." It seems like their mother is forcing them to do things, whether they like it or not. They sure are cute tho!
Bendi's show is cute. But the 4 year old is way too young.
Watching a DVD occasionally to remember their dad is fine, but watching every morning doesn't allow them to properly process it and move on. What is Terri Irwin thinking?? These poor little TV-whore children.
how cute.. RIP Steve u rocked
Those kids look so much like their father!!!
That stingray comment was a little inappropriate dont you think?
"Better keep him clear of stingrays then!"
Perez that is low even for you,That is so dickish.You used to be funny but now your a complete bitch.Steve loved his kids & his kids love him,dont be so fucking immature about it.
WOW THAT LITTLE GIRL IS ONE UUUUGLY LITTLE THING!
The stingray comment made me cringe. A little uncalled for, I think.
hahahha he looks JUST like him. his kids are really well rounded and arent exposed to this media crazed miley cyrus life. and good for them watching those shows every morning. its almost like they get to spend every morning with their father.
honestly we all look for things to just attack people with. they are a good family. leave them alone
They are very cute….but what kind of name is Bindi????
I'm glad Steve Irwin died.
I just hope that the kids are allowed to be kids and not workhorses. I hate hearing about children that are put in show business & not given the opportunity to interact with other children, play sports, take up hobbies . . . etc.
If my husband died while my kids were young (& he almost did) I would always have reminders of him around so they could get to know who he was as a person . . . but to play videos of him everyday? Well, I guess, if they asked, I would play them . . .
If my husband died and my children wanted to watch video footage of him everyday, I would let them. He's their father, for chrissakes, and if that makes them feel closer to him, I'd be the first one to pop that video in.
That Bindi chick is fucking spooky. Makes me want to feed myself to an alligator every time I see her on tv. Mom = pimp!
creepy!!! wtf
i dont think watching your father every morning on tv constitutes as creepy… thats kind of low to say…
ow would you feel if your father was taken away suddenly and you wanted to see his every day, but the only way was through some old tapes?…
wow
MOM NEEDS TO GET AN EFFIN JOB SO HER KIDS DONT HAVE TO WORK AND INSTEAD, GO TO SCHOOL AND BE REAL KIDS NOT HER LITTLE MONEY MAKERS!!!!
Re: Blanche Hunt – WHY FUCKTARD!
Quote: Better keep him clear of stingrays then!
Perez you are an ass hole!
Re: girlygirl – I AGREE with all of what you said!!
No four-year-old says "mister independence". Those kids are not normal kids. I liked Steve Irwin but there is something very sinister about his widow. And I hate to sound mean but Bindi's eyes look evil to me. I think watching those videos every morning sounds morbid. Those children should be allowed to live normal happy kid lives and stop all this crap they're doing. It's insane.
Re: HannahHeroinUK –
no, he's right. steve irvine has put himself in danger on many occasions, so why is his FOUR year old son "forced/allowed" to do the same stupid things? animals are mostly capable to kill a human, steve often disturbed them and challenged them - and it now seems as if his kids are growing up doing the same mistakes.
Re: LettyB – they all spoke like that. her father and mother did also- though in our television there were voice actors, it was nearly impossible to watch them - it was embarrassing.
The kids seem happy. I'm sure their mother is doing the best she can.
Re: fantomas – sorry: steve irwin.
THAT BINDI IS THE UGLIEST CHILD I'VE EVER SEEN–AND HER FATHER WAS CARELESS AND STUPID, TOO!!!
While I agree that Steve Irwin's kids have been pimped beyond all reason… Perez, the crack about stingrays crossed the line between humor and poor taste.
That Bindi freaks me out. She's always saying "I'm the luckiest girl in the world!" It's like she's been trained. Like an animal. Hmm….
Loved to watch Steve and Terry on TV!! But…what is up with the bags under these kids eyes. They looked severely exhausted.
It's both STUPID and DANGEROUS to handle wild animals. It's absolutely ridiculous to let children as young as four handle tame household pets let alone WILD animals. Animals are unpredictable. Mark my words, these kids will go out like their father unless their mother grows a brain.
If the kids find it comforting they should watch their dad. Bindi's is animated like her dad not acting so is Robert. We write our own charts and are screwed when we don't go with lifes flow.
I normally laugh along with you Mario… but not this time. I think your stingray comment in relation to young Bob was totally out of line and in extremely bad taste. How could you say that about a 4 yr old? I think many more people are going to take offense to your very insensitive comment.
Re: Leona$ Gho$t – HELLO DARLING, I SAID HI TO ON PREVIOUS POSTS BUT YOU DID NOT RETURN!
Pezez, have some respect. No need for the stingray comment. Thiniking about Steve's death still breaks my heart and it's been 2 years. Miss you Steve-o!!!!!
Dude! The Stingray comment = Not funny. Those poor kids lost their dad, no harm in watching him on tv, they dont wanna forget him.
Tho I dont think they should be in there own shows, they should have time to grieve and just be aroun dtheir family.
I know Steve is dead. CRIKEY! It's not nice to speak ill of the dead, but I thought he was obnoxious. I thought his wife was obnoxious. His spawn are both way over the top, and ugly to boot.
Gahh, that's low, Perez. Keeping him away from stingrays.
She has truly lost her shiz. I thought it was wacko when Bindi started her own show so soon after her Dad's demise. I understand the 'keep the franchise' alive bit but what about giving your kids a break?
They are a creepy family, but not because they watch Steve's dvds every morning. The little girl is just so mechanical and odd. She reminds me of Dakota Fanning from a few years back. What is the mom thinking pimping out the 4 yr old? Let them be kids, not support your ass.
Re: JessMiaow –
Oh and agreed! The stingray comment is inappropriate.
"Better keep him clear of stingrays then!"
Shame, Shame
THAT IS WWAY CREEPY she is after the might dollar steve never would have pimped the kids out like that shame on her
this family creeps me out!! they are brainwashed and are using dads death for publicity…crazy mother
I feel kinda bad for saying this, but I can't stand that little girl! She's so annoying! Her voice is annoying! And she talks too much!
Perez, you are getting as cold hearted and classless as TMZ. Is this what you are going for? I would show my kids videos. The stingray comment was just to much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Re: swandive – keep the franchice alive.lol.

Re: LettyB – Because he was vile, and so are you.
Re: Blanche Hunt – FUCK OFF CUNT!
the next time a "Celebrity" sells the first pictures of their new born baby to a Gossip Magazine, I hope you say that the parent is "Pimpin" their new born.
no room for hypocracy Perez.
you are a jerk perez. seriously, what the fuck. how is it creepy that they watch there dads dvds who died? seriously. your a creep.
that last line…..a little inappropriate….
and theyre cute kids.
Re: girlygirl – I agree with girly girl 100% Nothing more needs to be said.
That was really in poor taste, P. I think any parent who has lost the other would give anything to be able to show their children the good their father had done in his life each and every day. Terri Irwin has that opportunity. If the children wish to follow in their father…and their grandfather's legacy, I see nothing wrong with it. In fact, it's admirable.
I think that they miss their poppa. They are both so young, that's not creepy at all, you are insensitive to say such a thing. I think you can be such an asshole sometimes :/ ..
these fucking little turds will not learn till they get bitten and killed.They need to fucking stop whoring themselves.REALLY!!!!
You crossed the line with that stingray comment Perez. That was just fucked up.
That stingray joke isn't even fucking funny.
that's very creepy, watching videos if a dead family member every fucking day. let the kids heal, don't turn them into freaks. i can't believe she is whoring her kids out like that, wrenching everything she can from steve's fame. oh wait, yes i can. let them be fucking kids you cunt! they will hate her one day.
wanted to add you're a fat bastard for the stingray comment. that was low even for you lardio! are you turning into a bill murray clone? steve was a great guy, he did a lot of good things, leave him the fuck alone.
Maybe I am evil and bad, but that Bindi kid annoys the piss out of me…but I guess that's her mom's fault for letting her on the TV.
i know she claims her children are "strong", "independent", whatever, but they are just CHILDREN. i think she tends to forget that sometimes. bob is far too young to have his own show. as far as watching steve dvds, i think its sweet. oh and the stingray comment, not even close to being funny…
Tacky, Perez. Must be a slow day to resort to this.
Just because this family is different - doesn't mean they way they live their lives is wrong. They featured on 60 Minutes (Australia) last weekend and came across as such a close, happy family - doing what they love.
I say good on them and stay happy. They're doing what they love together, and keeping Steve's legacy alive. We need more 'wildlife warriors' to fight for our dying planet…
What are YOU doing ???
jeez this is exploitation to the max wid this kids (he's jus a freaking baby) but the sting ray comment -classic
LOL @ the stingray comment. Lighten up people! I have a feeling he would've laughed at that as well.
I think Bindi is a product of a creepy mother and I fear the same from little Bob. Just don't blame the kids, it's not their fault.
Perez, I like you. Your a cool guy and all and i usually agree with you, but I think the stingray comment kind of crossed the line.
They're creating little monsters. That Bindi girl…ARGH! Can't stand her.
P-Nasty - the stingray comment was a bit too much, even for you. Steve Irwin was the best ambassador Australia has ever had - an icon and a great dad, every Aussie can tell you where they were when they heard of his death.
Re: Blanche Hunt – What kind of sick fuck are you?
Re: Blanche Hunt – go and lick ken barlows clit u stupid cunt
what a thing to say
BLANCHE HUNT….go back to your crackpipe. Your brain has obviously been fried.
Couldn't stand Steve Irwin and as an Australian I can tell you that he embarrassed the hell out of the nation. His butt ugly wife can get the fuck back to America and take her feral ugly kids with her. So sick of seeing that freak child Bindi on t.v constantly. The kid can not speak, she sings every thing. Home schooled freak. Now she's pimping out young Bob. Even Steves father Bob Snr told her to get fucked and Terri kicked him out of the Zoo.
Please America take the freak shows back to your country - we don't want them!
Re: Mistress –
And as an Aussie I can tell you I thought well what do you expect you stupid cunt - stop poking the animals. Bullshit - most Aussies are embarressed by him. Fuck - do a search on Facebook as an example of how many groups despise his freak show kid
OK, this is a bit ridiculous. Since when do preschoolers host their own TV show?? As much as I respect the Irwin family for their hard work in wildlife conservation, I think Terri is pushing things a bit far. Let them be kids for Pete's sake - let them go to school, have friends, ride their bikes, eat ice cream, have slumber and birthday parties like normal kids, NOT running around filming with camera crews and fiddling around with potentially dangerous animals. I think sadly Terri is trying to keep Steve "alive" vicariously through his kids doing the exact same thing he did.
I LOOOVE that little girl!!! I wish that family all the best!
Everyone grieves differently….if it brings this family comfort then I don't see the problem with watching videos of their dead loved one. I think it's pretty sad that those poor children are growing up in the media, they should be lefe alone to enjoy a normal childhood not paraded in front of television cameras like trained monkeys.
The loss of Steve is still so sad. I can't imagine what his poor family must feel.
If the poor little kids wnat to watch their dad while eating breakfast who the hell are you to diss them Perez….since when do you have a degree is child physcology? Terry isn't trying to make money off her kids, they already have more money than god. If you ever seen them together as a famiy you would all know that he loved his kids more than anything and doing what they're currently doing makes them happy…not just terri or the bank.
Re: Blanche Hunt –
FUCK YOU ASSHOLE….What type of wierdo says that???
The whole of Australia offically hates your fuckin ass - grow up!!!
Re: Bellajezz –
Please don't include this Aussie in that ridiculous statement. I couldn't give a shit about the Irwins - they are national embarresments.
Terri Irwin needs to get back to the USA get the fuck out of QLD and stop Hollywood Whoring her kids. Freakshows.
