  • Bindi Irwin: Boyfriend Chandler Powell Visits Her at ‘Dancing With the Stars’ Rehearsal

    Bindi Irwin did a really good job of keeping boyfriend Chandler Powell at bay while she rehearsed for and competed on Dancing With the Stars, but this weekend that separation came to an end. Chandler Powell flew to L.A. where he reunited with his girlfriend and learned just how hard Bindi Irwin has worked these past few weeks.

    Bindi announced Chandler Powell’s arrival via her Instagram account.

    “He’s here ❤️ Thank you for always making me laugh, helping me to ice my foot when it hurts, making me tea and hugging me when I’m tired. You’re amazing,” she captioned a photo of the two of them cuddling.

    Bindi Irwin and pro dance partner Derek Hough have long joked that rehearsal time is off limits to everyone, so Chandler Powell was spotted sitting quietly in a corner as the two worked on their routines for this week’s DWTS competition.

    “It’s like a secret agent operation. It’s been really fun but you can’t repeat anything you’ve seen in this area. This is the code of silence,” Bindi joked about keeping everything seen at rehearsals quiet.

    Chandler Powell will no doubt be thrilled when he watches Bindi Irwin compete on Dancing With the Stars on Monday evening.

    Fans are certainly excited about watching “Team Crikey,” as Bindi Irwin and Derek Hough call themselves, and they’ll likely enjoy catching a glimpse of Chandler Powell in the audience, too.

  • Bindi Irwin Never Wore High Heels Before ‘Dancing With the Stars’

    Bindi Irwin may be pretty and oh, so sweet, but that’s where the girly girl part of the 17-year-old ends. The daughter of Terri Irwin and the late Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin, Bindi has grown up as a conservationist. She said shortly after signing on to DWTS that she’s less scared of crocodiles than of competing for the mirror ball trophy.

    This past week has been one of firsts for Bindi Irwin. She has rehearsed for Dancing With the Stars and she has worn her first pair–ever–of high heels.

    “They said, ‘We’re going to put you in these heels,’ and I don’t think they realized that I had never worn heels before so I stood up and instantly fell down,” Irwin said during an interview with Entertainment Tonight on Thursday. “Yeah, it was a good start to a great adventure.”

    Bindi is paired with pro dancer Derek Hough for season 21 of Dancing With the Stars. She calls her partner “the greatest teacher on planet Earth.”

    “I walked into this whole new adventure having no concept what I was going to do–I had the passion in my soul, but you really don’t know what to expect,” she said. “Derek was so good at putting my mind at ease and we’ve been taking it one piece at a time.”

    Bindi Irwin addressed her fears–and those crocodiles–during an episode of Good Morning America recently.

    “I am used to wrangling crocodiles,” she said. “It’s all about having the courage and strength, and for me, it is something completely different but I hope that I am able to inspire others in their own lives to seize opportunity and to make a difference and just jump, take that leap, even if it terrifies you.”

    Bindi Irwin and Derek Hough will call their dance team ‘Team Crikey.’

    Dancing With the Stars premieres its 21st season on ABC on September 14.

  • Elsa Pataky Outshines Chris Hemsworth At “Vacation” Premiere

    Elsa Pataky did the unthinkable. She out-glorified her husband, Chris Hemsworth, at the LA premiere of his new movie on Monday.

    The Vacation star and Elsa Pataky looked amazing and man, does he clean up nice.

    Chris Hemsworth wore a simply and classy suite, while Elsa Pataky worked a blush-colored lace mini dress and incredible nude stilettos.

    Elsa Pataky’s dress was detailed in flowers with a ribbon waist accent.

    Elsa Pataky was there to support her hubby in his new role as Stone Crandall in the National Lampoon’s Vacation sequel.

    It’s nice to see Chris Hemsworth in anything, and it seems his co-stars may have sometimes had a difficult time not focusing on his presence, especially when it came to trying on a few prosthetic, um, man pieces.

    Christina said, “We had all been standing at the bottom of the stairs after he had been doing some fittings upstairs; like should it get into position to go to the left or go to the right, longer, shorter … So finally they narrowed in on the hero penis, I guess! He came down and we were all clapping …”

    But, it wasn’t just his incredible good looks and willingness to prance around in boxer briefs that made Applegate appreciate all he had to offer as an actor.

    She said, “He’s this funny Australian dude who is really good at accents and he’s amazing and game for anything. When someone can make me laugh and is good at they’re job … I was definitely impressed.”

    Are you excited to see Elsa Pataky’s hubby in the new Vacation?
