Monday, October 30th, 2006

..but did you think it would come from a fellow celebrity?

Bill Maher proudly wears his ‘Steve Irwin’ Halloween costume just a little over one month after Steve died. So who’s going to don a great big asshole and go as Bill Maher this year?

South Park Sends Steve Irwin to Hell

Friday, October 27th, 2006

It might piss a lot of people off, but I bet it is funny.

I’m just glad it isn’t someone from my family. Because it’s easy to laugh at..as long as it isn’t you.

South Park creators have outraged fans of the late Steve Irwin by poking fun at his death.
The latest episode of the satiric sketch, entitled ‘Hell On Earth 2006′, shows the ‘Crocodile Hunter’ attending a fancy dress party in Hell - along with the late Princess Diana and Hitler - with a stingray poking out of his bleeding chest. Irwin is then kicked out of the party by the Devil because he isn’t in fancy dress.
The scenes have sparked outrage among fans and media regulators because they appear to ridicule the wildlife expert’s shocking death in September, when a stingray’s barb pierced his chest while he was snorkelling near the Great Barrier Reef in Australia.
British broadcasting watchdog Mediawatch branded the episode “grossly insensitive”.
Mediawatch director, John Beyer, said: “This is bad taste. Steve Irwin’s family is still grieving. To lampoon somebody’s death like this is unacceptable.”
‘South Park’ makers Comedy Central have defended the controversial episode, saying it is no different from their usual work.
A spokesman said: “It has offended people in the past and probably will again. Regular watchers would not be shocked.”

Web Exclusive: Irwin’s Widow Talks About Living in the Camera’s Eye

Wednesday, September 27th, 2006

Terri Irwin Says ‘Crocodile Hunter’ Delivered Couple’s First Child, Bindi, While Cameras Rolled.

Sent to me from Paige @ ABC.com:

Terri Irwin says, for her, meeting “Crocodile Hunter” Steve Irwin was love at first sight.
It was Oct. 6, 1991, and Terri was visiting Australia from Eugene, Ore., where she saw Steve doing a crocodile show in a small reptile park.
“And I was absolutely floored. That was it. This man was a real-life hero,” Terri said to Barbara Walters. “I fell then and there, love at first sight, not a problem. I said to my friend, ‘I got to meet this guy.’”

Watch Terri Irwin’s exclusive “20/20″ interview with Barbara Walters today at 10 p.m. ET

Terri says she went up and introduced herself to him, and asked whether she could get a picture with him.
“I was gushing, and I felt like such a tourist and we did a big cheesy photo together,” Terri said.
Afterward, they continued talking, and their connection grew.
“He was so passionate and honest … and there he just bared himself to me as if we’d known each other forever,” she said.
They were married six months later.

Living With Cameras

The Irwins became a family who lived with cameras, even in their most private moments.

The family’s home-movie collection is extensive, and astoundingly intimate.

Cameras were present even at the births of their two children, Bindi and Bob.

Steve actually delivered Bindi, born in 1998, while cameras rolled.
“It’s amazing,” Terri said. “I always am astounded at how willing Steve was to share all about himself. And sometimes he got criticized for it. But he was so open and yet so private about some things.”
Cameras and babies are usually a winning combination, but add a crocodile, as Steve did on one memorable occasion, and you have a recipe for controversy.
In 2004, Steve carried his month-old son, Bob, in his arms while feeding a crocodile, drawing howls of protest from around the world.
Steve told reporters afterward he was always in control of the situation, and Terri agreed.
“He wouldn’t endanger his little boy,” she said. “It was a very controlled, captive situation with a crocodile that we work with all the time. And he would never have his little boy too close to a crocodile.”
Being close to wildlife is part of the Irwin legacy.
Steve and Terri’s daughter, 8-year-old Bindi, seems to be following in her father’s footsteps.
She’s hosting a new series on the Discovery Network called “Bindi the Jungle Girl.”
“Bindi went in with the crocodiles when she was one month old, and grew up with the crocodiles,” Terri said.
At Irwin’s memorial service earlier this month, Bindi stilled the crowd with her poise as she gave her own moving farewell to her father.
“I don’t want Daddy’s passion to ever end,” she said. “I want to help endangered wildlife just like he did.”
