COSTELLO: An update now on Karen Klein, the grandmotherly bus monitor who was tormented by a group of middle schoolers. After the video of that went viral, donations poured in and look at that. Karen Klein has met the man who helped raise more than $500,000 for her to take a vacation. Max Sidorov came all the way from Toronto to Greece, New York. He said he never expected to raise so much money. His initial goal was just $5,000 and so far the total is over $660,000. Klein has said she may invest some of the money and also donate some of it. Also, this morning, the Olympic rings are now on London's iconic Tower Bridge. It marks the final countdown to the opening ceremony just 30 days away. The rings are showing up all over London as the city prepares for the games which you better hurry if you want to go. The BBC is reporting 80 percent of the tickets have been sold. Finally this hour, what's with Australia? Land of Wolverine Hugh Jackman, vicious dingos and naughty Olympians. Take Olympic swimmer, Stephanie Rice. She tweeted a picture of herself in a swimsuit -- here it is. Australia is not happy. According to Yahoo! Sports this is a no-no, too skimpy, not dignified. Have Australians ever seen photos of Michael Phelps in a Speedo? Let's see that Speedo. Or America's newest sensation Ryan Lochte? I'm sure Australian men bare most of their bodies too except of course when they're posing with a couple of pump-action shotguns. Australia wasn't happy with that, either, even though Nick Darcy and Kendrick Monk were at a shooting range. What could be worse? A naked Australian wielding weapons embedded in his hands? That would have been so much better with the sound. Anyway, the lesson here -- I'll leave that to you. And I'll say good afternoon, and thanks for joining me today. I'm Carol Costello. CNN NEWSROOM with Kyra Phillips continues after a quick break.
