  • Craigslist Ad Enhanced by Photobombing Dog

    There was no need to include a "pet-friendly" mention in the description of a Chicago apartment for rent on Craigslist.

    Instead, a four-legged pet with an eye for the camera turned the two-bedroom apartment's ad on the popular website into a veritable game of "Where's Waldo," or, in this case, "Where's Otis."

    Otis is the Great Dane-German Shepherd mix belonging to John, 29, and Sara, 28, Kanive, the Chicago couple who posted their $1,900 per month rental in the city's Lakeview East neighborhood on Craigslist earlier this month. The ad, describing the apartment's "open layout" and "tall ceilings," was your standard, run-of-the-mill posting had it not been for Otis photobombing each shot.

    "The first picture I took, of the living room, he was just laying on the floor," John Kanive told ABCNews.com. "So when I saw that picture, that's when I got the idea to place him in all the pictures."

    Otis proved game for his owner's antics, obediently

  • There are always rumors of cat fights happening behind the scenes of Broadway shows, but this one is quite literal.

    The new Broadway production of "Breakfast at Tiffany's" opened last Wednesday and the breakout star isn't who you'd expect. It is not "Game of Thrones" actress Emilia Clarke, but rather the feline superstar Vito Vincent, who plays the role of "cat."

    Apparently Vito Vincent, an orange male cat, thinks he indeed is the cat's meow and has let the bright lights go to his little furry head. The New York Post reports that Vito Vincent's owner is negotiating with producers to get a car and driver each night. A show rep did not comment whether that was true, but told the Post, "The producers have made every effort to treat Vito like the star that he is."

  • Ted Danson's Daughter to Guest Star on 'CSI'

    "CSI" is becoming a family affair.

    Star Ted Danson's daughter, Kate, will guest star April 3 alongside her father on the crime drama, "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation," CBS recently announced.

    In the episode, the CSIs find a body near a forest reserve and discover what appears to be a serial killer and his lair. Kate will star as lawyer Jill McDermott.

    "I play a lawyer who knows she's in the right and the CSI team have done something wrong, so I come pretty hard at my dad and dig into him, which was a lot of fun to play. It airs April 3 and I'm hoping it will be a recurring character," Kate told WENN.

    Ted Danson joined the "CSI" cast for the series' 12th season in 2011, replacing Laurence Fishburne. Danson plays D.B. Russell, the CSI supervisor for the graveyard shift. CBS announced last week that Danson's contract has been extended.

  • A new body trend is apparently becoming an obsession among teenage girls.

    It's the thigh gap - a clear space, or gap, that can be seen between the thighs when a girl is standing with her knees together. Some runway models have it, and teen girls want it.

    "Good Morning America" sat down with four high school juniors from a New Jersey Chapter of Students Against Destructive Decisions to discuss this latest trend.

    The four girls told ABC News' Juju Chang that they all had friends that were intent on achieving the thigh gap.

    Emily Rozansky told Chang that, for many teens, the thigh gap symbolized "the ideal body shape."

    Social media sites such as Tumblr, Facebook and Twitter have devotees who flood the zone with images of thigh gaps, bony collarbones and confidence-crushing messages disguised as "inspiration" for staying thin.

  • Online Sales Tax Break May End

    Morning Business Memo…

    Consumers in many states may soon have to kiss goodbye to tax-free online shopping. By a large bi-partisan majority the Senate voted for an amendment to the budget bill, which would require all retailers to collect and report sales tax. The House has yet to vote on this. The Marketplace Fairness Act covers brick-and mortar stores and online sites. "It's not a tax," says David French of the National Retail Federation, who supports the amendment. "The era of digital commerce has created challenges for state sales tax laws." Even Amazon backs the proposal, despite its long opposition to collecting sales taxes. One reason for Amazon's change of heart is its decision to build more regional distribution centers to speed deliveries of its goods. Brick-and-mortar retailers have long argued that they are at a disadvantage, because they have to collect sales taxes while online competitors are exempt. Supporters of the Marketplace Fairness Act say it would level the

  • Colo. Cops Await Ballistics Results on Prison Chief's Murder

    Colorado officials investigating the death of state prisons chief Tom Clements may find out early this week whether the suspect killed in a Texas shootout last week is the same one who killed Clements.

    Police are investigating whether Evan Ebel, a Colorado resident who was recently released from a Colorado prison, killed Clements at his home last Tuesday, March 19.

    Ebel, 28, was pulled over two days later in Texas, where he opened fire on a sheriff's deputy and launched a high-speed chase that ended with Ebel being fatally injured in a shootout with cops.

    Ebel was driving a black Cadillac with Colorado license plates that police said matched the description of a vehicle seen in Clements' neighborhood at the time of the murder.

    Lt. Jeff Kramer of the El Paso County, Colo., sheriff's department said today that police are awaiting results of the ballistics test to determine whether the weapons Ebel used in the Texas shootout were the same used to kill

  • Kids' Choice Awards Winners Slimed

    In the 26th Annual Kids' Choice Awards, this year's host, Josh Duhamel said that a record-breaking 350 million votes had been cast for the kids' favorites in film, music, sports and TV. However, the awards weren't complete without the traditional green slime.

    Singers Pitbull and Christina Aguilera opened the show with their song "Feel This Moment" and when Aguilera pushed the slime button at the end of their performance, Pitbull and the backup dancers were covered in green.

    Duhamel also got his share of the slime but got a kick out of dumping the slime on Los Angele Lakers player Dwight Howard saying, "I guess that's what we call a slime dunk!"

    When accepting her orange blimp trophies for favorite movie actress in "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2? and favorite female butt-kicker in "Snow White and the Huntsman," Kristen Stewart admitted about the slime, "Dude, I was too much of a coward to accept this."

  • A 9-year-old California girl survived a car crash early this morning and scaled a cliff in darkness to get help for her father, who did not survive the wreck.

    Authorities said Alejandro Renteria, 35, was driving down the Sierra Highway near Acton, Calif., around 1 a.m., when he apparently lost control of the vehicle, which rolled 200 feet down a canyon and landed at the bottom of a ravine.

    His daughter, who was not named in the accident report, climbed out of the vehicle and hiked through difficult terrain in order to get to a nearby home, according to a statement from the California Highway Patrol.

    When no one answered the door at the home, the girl returned to check on her father before she "hiked up a steep embankment in a very dark and threatening environment" to get help, authorities said.

    A passing motorist spotted the child and alerted authorities to the scene, where Renteria was pronounced dead.

    Authorities suspect alcohol played a role in the crash and said the

  • Hayden Panettiere, Wladimir Klitschko Spotted Kissing

    Love appears to be back in the air for Hayden Panettiere and ex-boyfriend Wladimir Klitschko.

    The pair, who split in June 2011 after two years of dating, were spotted kissing at the Miami Heat versus Charlotte Bobcats game in Miami Sunday.

    Panettiere, 23, and Klitschko, 37, were spotted partying at nightclub Zuma in Miami Jan. 8 and a few days later the Ukrainian boxer was seen dropping the "Nashville" actress off at the airport. But Panettiere insisted to TMZ at the time that the pair were just "just good buddies."

    Panettiere and Klitschko blamed distance for their 2011 split but said they would remain close friends. But they kept the PDA flowing in Miami Sunday, looking more than friends.

    Shortly after Panettiere and Klitschko split, she began dating NFL player Scotty McKnight but the pair parted last December.
