  • 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.

  • Kate Upton Too Busy to Be Teen's Prom Date

    It was a nice try, but it's looking like a no-go for the teen who asked supermodel Kate Upton to be his prom date.

    Los Angeles high school senior Jake Davidson, 17, asked the Sports Illustrated swimsuit model to be his prom date via a YouTube video. In the clip, titled "Kate Upton, Will You Go to Prom with Me?" Davidson explains why Upton should be his date, including that they have a lot in common. For example, Upton poses in Sports Illustrated and Davidson reads it.

    There was a glimmer of hope last week, when 20-year-old Upton tweeted Davidson, "How could I turn down that video! I'll check my schedule ;)" That hope has dimmed, however, with Upton now telling People magazine that it appears her dance card is too full to be Davidson's prom date.

    "I'm not sure if I'll be able to go with him or not, due to my schedule," Upton said. "I want to, but I just don't know if I can make it work. But I really appreciated being asked; it

  • Is Religion Good for Your Health?

    Faith and medicine frequently intersect. My patients and I often talk about spirituality when we discuss medical issues. For many people, life-and-death decisions are grounded in a belief that a higher being will guide the outcome as much, or more than, the physicians and treatments involved. In addition, a support system based on shared faith can be extremely helpful in the healing process. Ministries frequently offer assistance programs and have relationships with social workers to counsel and provide services for those in need.

    Not long ago, while reading the newspaper, I began thinking about the relationship of health and religion in an entirely new way, one that involves using religious tenets to promote a healthful lifestyle every day, not just in times of crisis. I saw an obituary for Lester Breslow, a true pioneer in public health. It was fitting that a man who dedicated his life to understanding what drives longevity lived to the ripe old age of ninety-seven.

  • Season 16 of "Dancing With the Stars" premiered Monday, and it looks as though Disney star Zendaya Coleman and NFL player Jacoby Jones are the early ones to watch.

    Coleman, who goes by just her first name, Zendaya, goes into tonight's episode at the head of the pack. Her contemporary routine with partner Val Chmerkovskiy last week had judges raving, earning her 24 out of a possible 30 points.

    At 16, she's the youngest competitor ever on the program.

    Asked how it felt to be so young and at leading the group of 12 dancers vying for the mirror ball trophy, Zendaya said it was "amazing.

    "I think I'm still trying to understand that it really happened," she said, "and now it's about working harder and just proving that that's not all I could do … that's just a taste of what I can come up with."

    Jones, of the Baltimore Ravens, landed in the middle of the pack with 20 points, but his upbeat performance pleased the ballroom audience and

  • Police are investigating how an experienced sky diving instructor and his student fell more than 13,000 feet to their deaths and did not deploy their main parachutes at a popular southwest Florida camp.

    Pasco County sheriff's authorities identified the victims as 41-year-old instructor Orvar Arnarson and 25-year-old student Andrimar Pordarson. The men were part of a group from Iceland, training and vacationing at Skydive City in Zephyrhills, Fla., on Saturday.

    T.K. Hayes, general manager and president of Skydive City, said it appears Arnarson and Pordarson didn't activate their main parachutes.

    "There's a multitude of scenarios. They lost track of altitude, weren't paying attention for whatever reason if they were distracted, most likely by something else going on. Who knows," Hayes said Sunday.

    Both men had backup automatic activation devices, which deploy if the main parachutes are not opened in time. The backup chutes, the company says, did not fully inflate before they

  • ABC News' Rachel Smith, Taylor Behrendt and Melissa Lustrin:

    The average woman spends about seven minutes putting on makeup in the morning, according to Wall Street Journal reporter Elizabeth Holmes.

    "She wants a great look, she wants it fast and she wants to get out the door," Holmes told ABC News.

    That need for speed has the beauty business focusing on more user-friendly applicators from brushes with more bristles to no brush at all.

    ABC News' Rachel Smith visited Walgreens with professional makeup artist Carmindy, from TLC's "What Not to Wear," to scope out some of these alleged time-savers.

    "Instead of using a liquid liner that just had one tip that was really hard to deal with, now they have ones that have little balls at the end so you control the edge," said Carmindy. "Your applicator is really going to do the job for you."

    "What is a good tool for us every day gals to use to apply our foundation?" Smith asked Carmindy.

  • A close encounter with a great white shark nearly ended the honeymoon, literally, for one man in South Africa.

    The man, identified only as "Roger" in a video posted on YouTube, was diving in the waters off Gansbaai, South Africa, last Thursday when a great white shark made a grab for him and a fellow diver inside a cage.

    Instead of going after the bait outside of the cage, the shark dove for his head, with his jaws wide open, inside.

    "For the first few seconds, you can't help but think the worst has happened," said Bryan Plummer, the fellow shark diver who captured the terrifying scene on camera.

    The honeymooner, who had just said "I do" the day before the dive, according to Plummer, managed to swim down just below the shark's open mouth and avoid injury.

    "His instinct was to just go down and avoid where the shark had access to," said Plummer. "[It was] very quick thinking on his part."

    The terrifying moments before it was clear that both divers had survived were captured
