For all the Hollywood buffs, we bring in all new gossips and the hot happenings from the world of Hollywood.
Oprah Winfrey is proud to be happy
Talk show host-producer-philanthropist Oprah Winfrey believes the secret to her happiness is that she is not envious of anyone.
"I don't know anyone happier. I don't know anyone who has a better life, or had a better life. I look at other people and I think, they look happy. But not as happy as me," Winfrey told a leading magazine.
When she gets down time, Winfrey loves nothing more than simply doing "nothing" on her California estate, reports suggest so.
She said, "I can go weeks and never turn on a television. I've gone a summer not having it on. No, my guilty pleasure is, I do nothing.
"I live in a very beautiful space that I created, and every time I leave home and I'm driving out the back with the pond and the ducks, and I'm looking at the grass and I see the house on the hill, I have this moment where I think about when Dorothy says in The Wizard of Oz, 'I learnt I didn't have to look further than my own back yard.' Every time I think of that.
"Most people don't even know what makes them happy. But I can just sit on my porch and I'll start reading a book and then realise, Okay, I'm not reading any more. I can just take it all in. I can just be."
Chloe Bennet, Logan Paul make red carpet debut
Actors Chloe Bennet and Logan Paul walked their first red carpet together as a couple at the Comic-Con event.
Bennet was spotted wearing a pink one-shoulder dress, while Paul kept it casual by opting a plain black t-shirt and matching pants.
The 26-year-old Bennet recently admitted on Twitter that she is dating Paul after getting questions from fans as to why she would date the popular-but-reviled YouTube personality, reports an online media. Paul was criticised for posting a video of him repeatedly tasting of a dead rat he found in his home.
Such antics of Paul have led to the cancellation of a YouTube project and the temporary demonetisation of his YouTube channel, which has some 17 million subscribers.
Also, The Agents of Shield star explained to the fan who asked why she was dating him, "Because he's kind, creative, funny, and vibrantly curious about life. It doesn't make sense to a lot of people, but it doesn't have too. He's changed my life for the better and I've done the same for him."
Johnny Depp, Amber Heard avoid crossing paths at Comic-Con
Actor Johny Depp and ex wife Amber Heard avoided having any kind of contact at Comic-Con.
The 55-year-old actor was a surprise guest at Warner Bros.' Comic-Con Hall H panel, where he promoted his new movie, Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald, by dressing up as the titular villain to deliver an in-character speech.
Afterwards, the 32-year-old actress appeared at a Warner Bros. panel to support the upcoming Aquaman film, though the two were not seen crossing paths at the event, reports an online publication. While both of their panels occurred in the same room, there was at least an hour separating their appearances.
Depp's casting in the Fantastic Beasts sequel caused some controversy when it was first announced, as fans questioned why domestic violence allegations made against Depp by Heard didn't preclude him from being involved with the project.
Heard had asked for a domestic violence restraining order against Depp just a week after she filed to end their 15-month marriage in May 2016, claiming the actor had been abusive on several occasions, including one incident that she claimed left her in fear for her life.
Depp and Heard settled their divorce in January 2017 - with Depp paying Heard a $7 million settlement (all of which she vowed to donate to charity).
Rita Simons struggles with insomnia
EastEnders actress Rita Simons says she suffers from "really bad insomnia" that leaves her feeling like she has not slept for days.
"I suffer with a million 'isms', including Attention-deficit/
The actress, who has 12-year-old children Jaimee and Maiya with husband Theo Silveston, says some nights she is awake just staring at the wall.
"I don't even watch TV or listen to music. It is awful. It is like torture. Sometimes it feels like I don't sleep for days. It's horrible. Meditating really helps me but I have not been doing it as much lately and the insomnia has returned," she added.
The 41-year-old actress thinks Maiya, who is partially deaf, has inherited a number of her conditions so is keen to push the youngster's interest in drama because she thinks it's a beneficial outlet.
She said, "Maiya has a bit of OCD and I would not be surprised if she had some ADHD as well. She shows a lot of signs of being like me, which is one of the reasons why I have let her follow the drama route. I went to a normal school but was in trouble all the time as a kid and should have been in drama school.
"I was just in constant, constant trouble. I was mouthy, the class clown, I would not shut up and could not concentrate because of mild ADHD. Maiya is quite similar and since she has done performing arts she has settled down and has an outlet. She is thriving and I didn't get that opportunity until much later."
Cardi B's husband back home after being arrested
Rapper Cardi B says that her husband and rapper Offset, who was arrested, has been released from jail.

Cardi B took to her Instagram account on Saturday and uploaded a story in which she can be seen posing next to Offset, as per media reports.
The 25-year-old captioned it, "Home and for the record, Offset is not on probation."

Actors, fans urge Disney's Marvel to rehire James Gunn
Guardians of the Galaxy fans, lovers of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and Hollywood actors have urged Disney's Marvel to rehire James Gunn, who was fired as director of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 after some of his old offensive tweets on pedophilia and rape resurfaced.
Actress Selma Blaire took to Twitter, describing Gunn as the good one, as per some media reports.
"If people are punished despite changing, then what does that teach people about owning mistakes and evolving?" she wrote.
Gunn was fired from Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3 for offensive tweets that he had posted years ago. It was announced that the filmmaker had been let go after a right-wing US site found offensive posts in which he had joked about subjects including paedophilia and rape between 2008 and 2012.
Disney's decision to fire Gunn met with backlash after it was noted that Gunn had previously atoned for the messages leading many to believe the studio was aware of the posts years back.
A change.org petition is also calling upon Disney to rehire Gunn.
The petition partly reads, "If you do this to Gunn you have to do it for all the other directors who have said some crappy joke sometime in their life, which is all of them, cause I doubt there's one human on this planet who hasn't made a shi**y joke once or twice in their life."
As many as over 154,000 signatures have already been garnered by the petition.
Guardians of the Galaxy star Dave Bautista had earlier spoken out in Gunn's defence, saying, "He's made mistakes. We all have. I'm not okay with what's happening to him."
Blair had also previously attributed the director with supporting her in coming forward with her personal experience of sexual harassment in the wake of the Time's Up movement.

The castings were announced during the Supergirl panel at San Diego Comic-Con on Saturday.
Maines' character is being described as a "soulful" transgender woman with a "fierce drive to protect others". Based on the DC characters created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, Jones will play Colonel Haleyand and Ajala will appear as Manchester Black.
How Tom Cruise's injury helped 'Mission: Impossible Fallout'
Actor Tom Cruise's ankle injury benefited Mission: Impossible Fallout as it allowed the team to explore more about the film and make changes, says director Christopher McQuarrie.
In August last year, the production for the movie went on a hiatus when Cruise got injured while jumping off the roof of a building and colliding with the wall of another building.
"Our first reaction was 'I hope he is okay'. At first, when he did it I thought he was acting. Tom really likes to present Ethan Hunt's stronger abilities. So, I thought it was okay and when he stood then I realised that he is not," McQuarrie told a publication while recalling the moment when the stunt went wrong.
Cruise will be back as IMF agent Ethan Hunt with the sixth part of the Mission Impossible franchise. This time, he is trying to avert danger which is threatening a large population of three countries.
The Paramount Pictures movie will be distributed in India by Viacom18 Motion Pictures. It is set to release in India on 27 July in English, Hindi, Tamil and Telugu.
McQuarrie says he "knew right away that his ankle is broken".
"We have done enough movies and we knew right away how it will impact the production. You learn not to panic. We call a disaster an opportunity to excel.
"You take the thing which has gone wrong and use it for your advantage. We shut the production down, I went into the editing room and Tom went to take care of his ankle. And it benefited the film because it allowed us to look at the film, we have been making and make certain changes.
"A lot was written while Tom was recovering... In the end, it all helped the film," he added.

George Clooney looks happy, healthy post scooter crash
Actor George Clooney seems to be making a full recovery following the serious motor-scooter accident he was involved with on the Italian island of Sardinia earlier this month.
The 57-year-old actor looked happy and healthy on Friday as he walked around the set of his Hulu limited series Catch-22, which was filming at the time in Sutri, Italy - a tiny village outside of Rome known for its ancient city walls and Roman amphitheater, as per some media reports.
As he strolled around set and shook hands with extras, Clooney was all smiles, wearing a casual polo shirt with a pair of jeans and lace-up shoes. During his time at work, the actor seemed to be walking well.
A source tells people.com that filming is "on schedule despite George's accident," and that the change of location indicates they've wrapped up the Sardinia portion of the shoot.
On 10 July, the actor was rushed to the hospital after his scooter slammed head-on into a car that appeared to turn into his lane. In a video of the accident, which was captured by a security camera, the Oscar winner was launched into the air following the crash, landing in a dazed heap on the road.
Although he was later released from the local hospital with non-life threatening injuries, that didn't stop his wife Amal Clooney from staying by his side for several days after the accident.
