Anil Kapoor blasts Akshaye Khanna over phone


Akshaye Khanna and Arshad Warsi enmity is affecting Anil Kapoor’s home production Shortkut-The Con Is On as Akshaye is not promoting the film along with other team members to avoid Arshad. Miffed Anil called Akshaye and blast him over phone, reminding him of the clause.

“Akshaye is hardly around to promote Shortkut -- The Con Is On, which is Anil's home production. Apparently, Akshaye had a difference of opinion with Arshad (Warsi) and he was not attending any promotional event which Arshad was attending. His standard excuse was that he was feeling unwell. After two occasions, we had to bring this to Anil's notice and he was obviously miffed," says a member of the production team.

Anil who is in LA is constantly keeping in touch with his actors guiding them how to promote the film in a better way. "I am in touch with all my artistes on a regular basis and I keep guiding and advising the entire team as this is for the time that I am not around during the release of the production," says Kapoor.

Akshay, Kareena lip-lock ten times!


It is unbelievable that Akshay Kumar and Kareena Kapoor have lip-locked not one or three times but ten times. The film is already in the news for Akki and Bebo’s intimate scenes and over that the 10 kisses is like adding icing on the cake. It is heard that the chemistry between the two are awesome and they both look sexy onscreen.

A source said, “While everyone is aware that there is a kissing scene between Akshay Kumar and Kareena Kapoor, no one knows that they have lip locked as many as ten times. The news has been very hush hush as both the lead actors were of the opinion that it should not be leaked out”.

Sajid Nadiadwala, the producer of the film laughed and said, “Why do you want me to tell the whole world if there are so many kisses in the film? Let the audience watch the film and they will know about it.”

Denise Richards has praised Akshay's style of kissing and said that he is a good kisser and let’s wait and see what Bebo has to say about Akshay’s style of kissing

The Championships Wimbledon Sharapova stunned


Centre Court queen Maria Sharapova, the 2004 champion, was sensationally dumped out of Wimbledon on Wednesday losing 6-2, 3-6, 6-4 to Argentina's Gisela Dulko in the second round.

Dulko, who needed five knife-edge match points to seal victory after 2hr 13min, goes on to face Russian 10th seed Nadia Petrova for a place in the last 16.

But for Sharapova, defeat will cast further doubts over the ability of the sport's most bankable star to ever return to her former powers following a 10-month absence from the tour nursing a shoulder injury.

"It's the biggest win of my career because she's a great champion and on centre court in the most important tournament in the world," said the 24-year-old Dulko.

"It's a dream day. I played a poor second set but I kept fighting in the third. I was really nervous at the end. I didn't want it to go to 5-5 because she competes right to the very end."

Dulko was quickly a break ahead to lead 2-0 as the Argentine showed few nerves playing in front of 15,000 people.

The world number 45, had the Russian scampering from side to side and took the opening set in the eighth game courtesy of a sweeping, crosscourt forehand winner.

Sharapova was soon in trouble again as the slender Argentine nipped ahead to a 3-0 lead in the second set, courtesy of a break in the second game.

Dulko had lost both her previous meetings with Sharapova, but the Russian is nothing if not competitive and she was back in contention with a break to trail 2-3.

Two successive double faults from a suddenly frail-looking Dulko then allowed Sharapova to lead 4-3 which became 5-3 on a service hold.

The former champion then unleashed a succession of thunderous service returns to further dismantle the Argentine's crumbling confidence and she broke again to level the tie in the ninth game.

Sharapova, now with renewed potency, was ahead to lead 1-0 in the decider before Dulko ended the Russian's seven-game streak to level at 1-1.

Breaks were exchanged in the next two games with Sharapova fighting off two breaks points, as well as picking up a time violation, in the fifth game.

Dulko, who has reached the third round here on three occasions, refused to be overpowered and she broke to love to lead 4-3 as the Centre Court crowd warmed further to the underdog.

Sharapova saved four match points in a tense 10th game, but Dulko claimed an emotional victory when the Russian unleashed a wild forehand.
