Bindi Irwin's television series on hold -- UPDATE
Bindi Irwin, the darling 8-year old daughter of the late Steve Irwin, is going to hold off for a year before filming her wildlife series. Apparently a lot of people got pretty upset when they saw the recent news that Bindi was going to star in Bindi, The Jungle Girl for Discovery Kids. Critics complained that the little girl was being exploited by television producers because of her father's fame and headline-grabbing death from a stingray barb to his heart. The family's manager says the media speculation did not figure into their decision and that he needs a one-year vacation after the death of his close friend.To be clear, Bindi's series for Discovery Kids started several months before Steve Irwin died. The series was to be about Bindi, with Steve making occasional appearances to do some crazy stuff. It was supposed to begin airing in January.
