Bindi Irwin enlightening world as ‘Jungle Girl'
At an age when many girls are still playing with their Barbie dolls, Bindi Irwin has moved on to something a bit more challenging.
“I have Blackie my black-headed python. I also have Corny the corn snake. He sleeps with me at night,” the 8-year-old-daughter of the late crocodile hunter, Steve Irwin, says proudly as she rattles off the names of the menagerie she keeps back home in Queensland, Australia.
It's a group she hopes to introduce to the rest of the world through her new television show, “Bindi the Jungle Girl,” airing Saturdays on the Discovery Kids Channel (5 p.m. ET).
“I also have Jaffa my koala and Ocker, my favorite cockatoo. And I have other birds that stay with me. And Candy, my pet rat, sometimes stays with me,” the blonde-haired, pigtailed bundle of energy continues until her enthusiasm gets the better of her and her words begin to run together, finally tripping over one another in a heap.
Fatone to release latest hit, ‘The Singing Bee'
Joey Fatone's latest gig: hosting “The Singing Bee,” a sing-along variety game show set to premiere July 10 on NBC.
Fatone, one of the members of boy band ‘N Sync, was a runner-up on the fourth season of ABC's “Dancing With the Stars.” The 30-year-old singer has appeared in several Broadway musicals, including “Little Shop of Horrors.”
Contestants on “The Singing Bee” will try to accurately sing the lyrics to the most popular songs of all time in a variety of karaoke-style competitions. If they mess up, they're out of the game.
Fatone “brings an added burst of energy and a legion of fans with his musical talent and infectious personality,” said Craig Plestis, an NBC Entertainment executive vice president, in a statement this week.
Sizemore's sentence for drug case reduced
Tom Sizemore's 16-month prison sentence for violating probation in a drug case was dramatically reduced Tuesday.
Superior Court Judge Cynthia Rayvis gave the actor 213 days of credit for time he has already spent in jail and two live-in drug programs, leaving him with about nine months in state prison.
Sizemore will likely serve about 4.5 months of that, said Deputy District Attorney Sean Carney.
The 45-year-old actor, who has been in jail without bail since June 5, wasn't in court Tuesday. An after-hours call to his lawyer, Fay Arfa, wasn't immediately returned.
