Yet another day and here are the happening news from Hollywood. Take a look-
Affleck steps out for haircut between rehab treatment
Actor Ben Affleck, who is going through rehab treatment, stepped out of for a haircut.
The Gone Girl star was seen coming out from the Malibu Wave Salon looking sharp with his new haircut, reports suggest so.
Affleck was spotted wearing blue jeans and a tight gray T-shirt. He represented his roots with a Boston Red Socks cap.
As per sources, Affleck has been allowed to take a break only if his sober coach is around him at all times.
In August, the Batman vs Superman star was admitted to the rehabilitation centre for the third time in order to get rid of his alcohol addiction. He went to rehab for the first time back in 2001 and then in 2017.
David Guetta wants to make life changes
A DJ-record producer David Guetta is determined to make lifestyle changes following world-renowned Swedish DJ and electronic music producer Avicii's death earlier this year.
Guetta, 50, said everyone in the EDM world was "incredibly shocked" when the 28-year-old star passed away in an apparent suicide in April. It was a wake-up call for him to "reorganise" his own career and personal life to avoid slipping into a depression, reports suggest so.
He said, "We were all incredibly shocked by what happened. It's forced me to make some hard decisions, to change my life. I could see it coming in myself, this depression. And I'm a happy person, I'm really not a depressive type.
"But I realised I needed to reorganise my life to stay like this. I remember Avicii telling me how many shows he was doing a year and thinking, 'This is horrible. It's torture.'
"But it's hard to say no. You want to do what's right for your career. But if you keep saying yes, one day you'll fall."
The "When Love Takes Over" said the "deeply strange lifestyle" that people live in his industry can be damaging.
"In our world, we all have one thing in common, which is this deeply strange lifestyle that puts you in a weak place emotionally.
"If you're an artiste, in my opinion, it means you feel you have something to say, and you look at the world in a slightly different way. And the fact that we can do that is probably because we're hypersensitive.
"But to be hypersensitive and have that lifestyle, that's combustible," Guetta told Sunday Times Culture magazine.
I felt compelled to be part of 'Hotel Mumbai': Dev Patel
Slumdog Millionaire actor Dev Patel, who plays the role of a Sikh waiter in Anthony Maras' Hotel Mumbai based on the November 2008 terror attacks, said he felt compelled to be part of the film after his family watched the city burning across TV screens.
Underlying his old link with the Taj Mahal Palace hotel from "Slumdog", the actor said Danny Boyle did a dance sequence there as an ode to India and its cinema.
"As much as I hated doing it, the dance sequence captured the movie. Then to see in my house in London my parents looking at the TV screens and watching Mumbai burning, it was horrible... And when there is a film being made on it, I felt very compelled to be a part of it," the actor said here.
About his role of Arjun, the Sikh waiter, he said, "This film has so many amazing characters. For me, I wanted to do more with the character of Arjun. I had read this article about Sikh cab drivers in New York being targeted and attacked after the September 11, 2001, attacks and being labelled terrorists.
"I thought we can make this Sikh man, a community extremely underrepresented in cinema, to break stereotypes and educate the audiences about a culture."
Patel said before filming, he visited the hotel and spoke with some of the staff.
"I spoke with the real chef. They want to put this behind. It is a very delicate subject... It is still a very raw for a lot of people." he added.
Hotel Mumbai premiered at the on-going Toronto International Film Festival on Friday.
Fame is unnatural, says Lady Gaga
Singer-songwriter Lady Gaga, who finds fame unnatural, has urged Hollywood and the global entertainment industry to rescue artistes struggling with substance abuse and other mental health issues in their pursuit of stardom.
Gaga spoke at a press conference at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF), reports suggest.
"I think that would be wonderful, not just for artistes, but the whole world, if we intervene early in life when we see people struggling," said Gaga, who was here to promote Warner Bros' A Star is Born remake.
Gaga, who goes by her legal name Stefani Germanotta in the film's credits, plays an up-and-coming starlet, Ally, who struggles to break into the entertainment world with guidance from an industry veteran, Jackson, played by Bradley Cooper, on the way down.
"Fame is very unnatural. And we see that Jack is struggling is this film. There's substance abuse, there's trauma. Ally also, for me, is struggling from depression at the beginning of the film, in not believing in herself," she said.
Gaga said while successful artistes don't change with fame, as much as others around them to, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
"The truth is, people think we change. It's not us that change, it's everyone around us who changes," stressed the popular singer, best known for her pop music career.
While she has starred in "American Horror Story: Hotel", the anthology FX series from Ryan Murphy, Gaga gave credit to Cooper, who is making his directorial debut with A Star is Born, for having faith in her acting skills.
The film is based on the 1937 film, and centers on a movie star who helps an aspiring young actress find fame, even as age and alcoholism send his own career into a downward spiral.
It was subsequently remade in 1954 by director George Cukor, with Judy Garland and James Mason starring, and again in 1976, with Barbra Streisand and Kris Kristofferson headlining.
Warner Bros' A Star Is Born, starring Gaga and Cooper, is set to hit theaters on 5 October.
Tapping into painful past for 'A Star Is Born' was 'cathartic' for Cooper
Actor Bradley Cooper couldn’t avoid remembering his darker days while making A Star is Born.
In the Oscar remake, Cooper co-stars as Jackson Maine, a rocker battling alcoholism and drug addiction as he falls in love with his musical protégé Ally (played by Lady Gaga).
The movie also marks Cooper's directorial debut.
In 2016, Cooper revealed in an interview with Barbara Walters that he struggled with drugs and alcohol.
It's that past that Cooper now says helped his work as Jackson.
"Anytime you're trying to tell the truth you need to go to places and use things that have happened to you, or you've read about or experienced," Cooper told Variety.com at the Toronto International Film Festival premiere.
"And that's all part of the beauty of turning whatever things you've gone through into a story. I find that to be very cathartic. I remember learning that in grad school, our teacher said all the insecurities, all the dark stuff you get to use that and that's really the truth," he added.
At the time of the Walters interview, Cooper said he was sober from drugs and alcohol for 11 years.

"I definitely want to be there to support Kourtney and Scott, but it's just kind of their thing and I don't get involved. I kind of agree with Scott on this one but it's Kourtney, she's got to be difficult," added Kim.
Disick, meanwhile, sought advice from Kris Jenner and told her they had agreed to hold off on the introduction until after the holidays.

Hugh Jackman has no political aspirations
After essaying the role of politician Gary Hart in Jason Reitman's political drama The Front Runner, actor Hugh Jackman says he has no interest in joining politics in future.
"Looking into that world, it makes me want to run away further," the X-Men star told media while promoting Reitman's film at the Toronto International Film Festival, reports suggest so.
The movie is about Hart's 1988 presidential campaign, which was scuttled by reports of the candidate's sexual misconduct and extra-marital dalliance with Donna Rice.
Jackman observed that after former President Richard Nixon's Watergate scandal, every journalist and voter assumes politicians have flaws that need exposing.
He said, "Thank God as an actor we don't have that standard, because there wouldn't be many actors left."
The Front Runner is adapted from Matt Bai's book about the Hart campaign, "All the Truth Is Out: The Week Politics Went Tabloid".
To get into the role of Hart, Jackman had researched a lot and met with the politician several times.
