Bindi Irwin's Daughter Grace Is ‘Officially in Charge' of One Thing at Australia Zoo & She's the Cutest One for the Job
Bindi's mom (and Grace's 'Bunny') Terri Irwin shared a family selfie on Instagram, with Terri, Bindi, and Bindi's husband Chandler Powell smiling slightly out-of-focus outside. At the front of the photo is Grace, whose big brown eyes are sparkling in focus, with her smiling mouth and rest of her face just out of frame. Everyone is laughing as their little girl snaps the family selfie, and Terri thought it was so cute, she appointed Grace in charge of selfies!

'Grace is officially in charge of selfies!📷💕' the wildlife conservationist captioned the photo. Grace's uncle Robert Irwin, who is a professional photographer, commented, 'And she's doing a great job! 🫡' Bindi also commented on the sweet photo, writing, 'My favourite family photos are the ones that Grace takes 🥰' Aww!
Commenters agreed, with one person sharing, 'Too cute!! Maybe she will give Robert a run for his money with her photography skills 📸' Another wrote, 'She's doing such a good job! Yay Grace Warrior! 📸'
When she's not taking selfies, Grace is learning about another job at Australia Zoo: rehabilitating animals. Bindi shared a video of taking Grace to return Aurora back to the wild.
'Today is an amazing day. We are releasing one of the biggest sea turtles we have ever gotten to the Wildlife Hospital,' Bindi said in a Nov. 2024 YouTube video. 'It's really special because Grace is coming along for this really beautiful release,' Bindi continued. 'Grace actually has spent a lot of time with Aurora, feeding her squid, spending time with her, watching her swimming around in her rehabilitation pool at our Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital. So this is a really meaningful, full-circle moment for Grace as well getting to watch Aurora head home again after a long, long time in our care.'
But when it was time for the release, Grace got a little emotional, asking her mom, 'Can I go with her?' It shows how much Grace cares for animals, but it breaks your heart a little too. Bindi explained later that letting an animal go back to the wild is 'exciting and special, but it's also really hard to let go and say goodbye after so long.'
'And for Grace especially. Her emotion as she said goodbye to Aurora was so big, and she's only three,' Bindi added. 'And it's going to make me cry. She got really emotional saying goodbye to Aurora.'
It's bittersweet, but Grace is learning and adapting like a champ. Whether she's taking selfies or saving sea turtles, Grace is going to be running the zoo before we know it!Best of SheKnows

Bride puts ‘plus-size' wedding guests at ‘Weight Watchers' table — and claims it was a ‘body positive' thing: ‘Straight-up rude and humiliating'
She threw big shade on her big day. Under the guise of 'body positivity,' a brazen bridezilla sat all of her plus-size guests — including chunky close relatives — at table labeled 'Weight Watchers.' 'My sister sat me at a table specifically reserved for overweight people at her wedding reception,' the bride's older sibling, a 32-year-old woman, virtually known as Basic-Donut2903, ranted on Reddit. After assisting her little sis, 30, in perfecting all of the big day arrangements, the outraged Redditor was stunned to learned that she'd been sequestered to the heavyset seating area of the fat-shaming fête. 'I go to find my table… and I swear to god, the little name card says 'Weight Watchers,' wrote Basic-Donut2903. 'Not like a cute table name or a funny inside joke…just 'Weight Watchers.' I thought maybe I misread it or something, but nope.' 'I look around and realize everyone at the table is plus-size,' she added. 'All of us. Every single person there.' 'I was mortified.' But was the bulge-conscious bride ready to apologize for the offense? Fat chance. 'I pulled my sister aside and asked her what the hell that was about and she literally laughed,' continued the vexed victim, noting that she is the only member of her immediate family who's plump. 'She goes, 'Oh my god, don't be so sensitive, I just thought it'd be more comfortable if people were with others like them. It's a body positive thing.'' It was the bride's way of turning a positive into a negative. However, she's not alone. The once-revered body positivity movement — a social push for the inclusion and acceptance of all weights, shapes and sizes — has recently suffered several black eyes, owing to the meteoric rise of weight loss trends and drugs. Former body positivity front runners, such as Grammy winner, Lizzo, and Real Housewives of Salt Lake City star, Heather Gay, have admittedly turned to the buzzy anti-obesity jabs, like Ozempic, to shed excess chub. Gay, 51, even called the inclusive campaign a 'big lie,' saying, 'It is better to not be overweight.' And Basic-Donut2903's newly-hitched sister obviously agrees. 'How is putting all the bigger people at one table body positive?,' the wounded innocent questioned in her Reddit post. 'It felt more like, 'Hide the fat guests in the corner so they don't ruin the aesthetic.'' 'So I left,' she said. 'I didn't make a big scene, I just quietly grabbed my gift and dipped…my feelings are legit so hurt right now.' 'Am I overreacting?? Or was that straight-up rude and humiliating?,' the beleaguered bridesmaid asked the cyber community before joking, 'Also, I wore Spanx for 4 hours and I want compensation.' But furious folks online weren't in a laughing mood. 'That was incredibly rude and childish of her and you have every reason to be upset,' insisted an incensed commenter. 'Weddings are supposed to be a time of joining together, not making people feel separated or singled out.' Am I overreacting, or was this super messed up??? byu/Basic-Donut2903 inAmIOverreacting 'As a fellow fat myself, I would be internally screaming and wanting to get myself as far away as possible from my sister and her mean spirited seating arrangement,' an equally peeved person wrote, in part. 'I hope you are able to put your sister in her place on this one because it's really cringy what she did to you and the other plus sized guests.' 'What she did is unforgivable and extremely cruel,' echoed another. 'Your sister is a hurtful, shallow human. What an idiot. I'm furious on your behalf. You (and everyone else at that table!) deserve much better,' said a separate supporter of Basic-Donut2903. 'If/when you get married,' another advocate advised, 'you can have a 'Rude B*tch' table and she can sit at the head of it.'

‘Keep pumping': The new dance inspiring Novak Djokovic's quest for a record-equaling Wimbledon title
If ever there was a time for Novak Djokovic to shake off his troubles and share a dance with his son and daughter, it was after being tested to his limit against Alex de Minaur in the fourth round of Wimbledon on Monday. The Serb battled through a four-set fight against the Australian 11th seed on Centre Court, eventually finding a way to secure a 1-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4 win after more than three hours of play. But despite looking both physically and mentally exhausted after match point, Djokovic still had the energy to perform a new celebratory dance with his children who were watching on from the stands. Son Stefan was seen joining him in the movement after outlasting de Minaur. The dance – reportedly inspired by a 2004 song by Danzel – has found new popularity during this year's Wimbledon, with the 24-time grand slam champion performing it with his children after winning his matches. The moves involve Djokovic pumping his fists down, then to the left, then the right, and finally up to the sky. His daughter Tara stole the show after her dad's third-round win on Saturday, pushing herself to the front of the stands to perform the 'pump it up' dance moves while Djokovic was being interviewed. 'It's called 'pumpa' in our language and 'pump it up' in English. There's a song with my kids,' Djokovic explained on Saturday. 'And look, my daughter is doing it right now,' Djokovic continued, as the camera turned to Tara. 'You want to show it, darling? You want to show how it goes?' Tara gave a shrug with a smile and proceeded to demonstrate, drawing delight from the crowd. 'She's the master,' Djokovic said. 'It's a little tradition we have right now so hopefully we can keep going so we can keep pumping more in Wimbledon.' Danzel, the artist behind the song, posted a video of Djokovic explaining the dance on Instagram, saying it was an 'honor' to have inspired the new celebration. There were plenty of times during Monday's match when it looked as though Djokovic would be unable to perform his new dance craze. Djokovic looked way off his best in the opening exchanges and struggled initially to get to grips with the gusty conditions on court. The first set was particularly puzzling, with de Minaur breaking Djokovic's serve three times to take a one-set lead in the match. The start of the second was equally erratic, with both players breaking each other's serve in quick succession – the set also involved an energy-depleting game that lasted 24 minutes alone. The 38-year-old Djokovic started to grow frustrated by the close of the second set after the net seemed to help de Minaur on several occasions, but all that angst and tension flew out of Djokovic in an almighty roar to his team after he wrapped up the second set. It then looked as though the seven-time Wimbledon champion had found his form, winning the third set and taking a huge step toward the next round. But de Minaur came racing back at the start of the fourth to break Djokovic's serve early on. With many expecting the match to go into a deciding set, Djokovic upped his level and broke back twice to fight his way into the quarterfinals. '(De Minaur) is so good,' Djokovic said during his post-match interview on court. 'He's one of the quickest, if not the quickest player we have on the tour and on the grass, where the ball bounces very low. It's extremely difficult to play someone like him if you're not feeling the ball. 'I was just very pleased to hang tough in the right moments and win this one.' Djokovic also had the added pressure of playing in front of tennis legend Roger Federer, who was the special guest in the Royal Box. The 43-year-old smiled as Djokovic gave him a special shoutout during his interview – the Serb is bidding to equal Federer's men's record of eight Wimbledon titles in this year's tournament. 'I think this is probably the first time he's watched me and I've won the match,' Djokovic joked. 'The last couple I've lost but it's great to have Roger here. A huge champion and someone I admire and respect a lot.' Djokovic will now look to recover from Monday's grueling encounter before facing either world No. 1 Jannik Sinner or tour veteran Grigor Dimitrov in the next round.

Shady Nasty, Fred again.. and KETTAMA Join Forces for ‘Air Maxes'
Sydney genre-benders Shady Nasty have teamed up with electronic powerhouses Fred again.. and KETTAMA on their latest single, 'Air Maxes.' Released today (July 7) via Steel City Dance Discs, the collaboration finds the post-punk trio leaning into textured synths and ambient tension while staying true to their signature edge. More from Billboard 5 Must-Hear New Country Songs: Erin Enderlin, Randy Houser, Charley Crockett & More Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong Celebrates 4th of July With 'F-k Donald Trump' Chant in Belgium Spice Girls' Mel B Marries Longtime Boyfriend Rory McPhee in London 'Air Maxes' arrives in two distinct forms: the slow-burning, meditative 'Air Maxes (Ambient)' and a pulsating, dancefloor-ready rework by Irish DJ/producer KETTAMA. The project also features additional production from Fred again.., whose influence on the global electronic scene has been impossible to ignore following his chart-topping Actual Life series and recent collaborations with artists like Skrillex and Romy. After sharing the stage at HAZARD Festival in Sydney last January, Shady Nasty and KETTAMA jumped into a last-minute studio session where 'Air Maxes' was born. The demo landed in the hands of Fred again.., who added his finesse to the final track. On the track, Shady Nasty swap jagged guitars for ethereal synths and atmospheric production. Frontman Kevin Stathis delivers haunting lines like, 'I need to be a doctor, not a popstar,' reflecting on themes of ambition, burnout, and the duality of real and imagined lives. ''Air Maxes' is about losing sight of your ambition,' the band explained in a statement. 'Grinding toward something with no clear finish line can leave you wondering what might've happened if you'd taken a different path. Sometimes you need to hop in the whip and smoke the streets out just to remember why you're putting in the hours. And sometimes, you need your mates to remind you to keep your head screwed on.' The new single arrives just months after the release of Shady Nasty's long-awaited debut album, TREK, produced by Kim Moyes of The Presets. Trek also saw the group selling out shows across Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne. Now, Shady Nasty are gearing up to take their live show on the road again, announcing a fresh run of dates in August and their first-ever headline shows in New Zealand this September.
