| Serena pulls out from Dubai with back injury Posted: 20 Feb 2013 07:58 AM PST  Serena Williams of the U.S. listens during a news conference at the WTA Dubai Tennis Championships in Dubai February 20, 2013. — Reuters pic The American's withdrawal means that the world's two best players are both out of the tournament after Victoria Azarenka, who beat Williams in the Qatar Open final on Sunday, also pulled out earlier in the week with a foot injury. Williams, the newly installed world number one, aims to return at the Sony Ericsson Open, which starts in Miami on March 18. "I've just had some back problems the past couple weeks," Williams told a hastily arranged press conference. "I thought it would get better as the week went on but it didn't. I don't want to keep pushing it and make it worse." Williams, 31, said her back also troubled her in last week's Qatar Open. "It's not at a level where I can compete where I feel comfortable to not make it worse," said Williams, who came on court to apologise to fans for her abrupt withdrawal. The American's problems appear to stem from January's Australian Open, where she suffered a shock quarterfinal loss to US teenager Sloane Stephens, having been forced to briefly leave the court for medical treatment after jarring her back. Bartoli will now play former world number one Caroline Wozniacki in the quarterfinals after the Dane routed Chinese qualifier Zheng Jie 6-0 6-1. — Reuters |
| Kristen Wiig and Seth Rogen to appear in ‘Arrested Development’ Posted: 20 Feb 2013 07:57 AM PST  Actress Kristen Wiig. — AFP pic It is not yet known which parts Kristen Wiig ("Bridesmaids") and Seth Rogen ("Knocked Up," "The Green Hornet") will play. The two comedians, who are favorites of director and producer Judd Apatow, will be joining the Bluth family. The eccentric family that went off the rails when the father was arrested for the misappropriation of corporate assets will be back in May for 14 episodes. The whole original cast will be back for the fourth season: Jason Bateman, Michael Cera, Will Arnett, Portia de Rossi, Tony Hale, Jeffrey Tambor, David Cross, Jessica Walter and Alia Shawkat. However, this new season will be different from previous ones as each episode will focus on one character and will be told from his or her point of view. Mitch Hurwitz came up with this twist as he could not get all the actors together at the same time. — Reuters |
