The first things to restart production in Hollywood post the WGA deal are the late-night shows, including Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and Late Night with Seth Meyers. These two sketch shows fall under the SAG-AFTRA Network Code contract, which is not a part of the guild’s current strike. This means that the cast and crew of the show have a green light to resume work once the WGA deal is finalised. The WGA deal came through on September 25 with the members calling for a break to the strike.&nbsp;

Meanwhile, SNL has suffered huge setbacks since the month of April. The last episode that aired before it shut down owing to the strikes was on April 15. The Writers Guild of America strike began at the start of May. The April episode featured Ana de Armas as host and Karol G as musical guest. The following scheduled episode, slated for May 6 and hosted by former cast member Pete Davidson with musical guest Lil Uzi Vert, did not take place. Post the pack-up, NBC declared that it would run repeat telecasts, which has been the case up until now.&nbsp;

Now that the writers are back, the show will have to work out the details of the return of some cast members. Another challenge that looms large is the recruitment of hosts as the SAG-AFTRA strike still continues.&nbsp;

Saturday Night Live stars Kenan Thompson, Mikey Day, Heidi Gardner, Ego Nwodim, Bowen Yang, Chloe Fineman, Punkie Johnson, and Andrew Dismukes as well as Michael Che and Colin Jost, co-anchors of Weekend Update. Featured players include James Austin Johnson, Sarah Sherman, Marcello Hernández, Molly Kearney, Michael Longfellow, and Devon Walker.

Saturday Night Live could be back soon as writers return after months-long WGA strike

It’s back to business for all productions in Hollywood as the Writers Guild of America managed to get a lucrative deal with the studios, ending the months-long strike that put a pause on all kinds of projects. While we don’t know the details of the deal, it has managed to end the 146-day strike and will act as a push button for all major works in Hollywood.&nbsp;

Now that the deal is through, among the first things to resume is Dancing With the Stars which is ready with its premiere date. ABC confirmed that Dancing With the Stars will premiere on September 26, and will be available live on Disney+.

Before the deal was through, ABC had put a plan in place to postpone the show’s premiere amid backlash from the WGA. Celebrity cast members were feeling heightened pressure and had growing concerns about participating in the show, as WGA members were picketing Dancing With the Stars&nbsp;rehearsals, in an effort to delay the show or have celebrities bow out.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/hollywood/news-we-did-it-hollywood-reacts-to-tentative-deal-ending-months-long-writers-strike-639302">We did it! Hollywood reacts to tentative deal ending months-long writers strike</a>

Amid the backlash, one cast member, actor Matt Walsh announced that he would pause his participation in the show amid the ongoing WGA strike. According to fresh reports, the actor is back on the show.&nbsp;

However, not all’s well in Hollywood still as the SAG-AFTRA members continue to strike. But SAG-AFTRA is backing the cast of Dancing With the Stars. They said that the members who are on the show are not violating union rules by participating in the show.&nbsp;

“They are required to go to work, are not in violation of SAG-AFTRA strike rules, and we support them in fulfilling their contractual obligations,” a SAG-AFTRA spokesperson said.

WGA deal ends strike: Dancing With The Stars sets premiere date

Bruce Willis’s wife Emma Heming Willis recently opened up about the actor’s health status after it was diagnosed that he is suffering from frontotemporal dementia (FTD). Appearing on the Monday episode of “Today” to bring awareness to the disease during World Frontotemporal Dementia Awareness week, Emma said that&nbsp;her family’s life has changed since the diagnosis.&nbsp;

“What I’m learning is that dementia is hard,” Emma said. “It’s hard on the person diagnosed. It’s also hard on the family. And that is no different for Bruce, or myself, or our girls. When they say that this is a family disease, it really is.”

When the host prodded her if he was aware of his surroundings, Emma responded saying, “Hard to know. It’s hard to know.”&nbsp;

<h2>They are still a happy family</h2>

Emma, however, pointed out that there is still plenty of joy in her family, despite the diagnosis. “There are so many beautiful things happening in our lives. It’s just really important for me to look up from the grief and the sadness so that I can see what is happening around us. Bruce would really want us to be in the joy of what is. He would really want that for me and our family,” she said.&nbsp;

<h2>Bruce Willis has retired from acting</h2>

Willis’ family announced his retirement from acting last year as a result of the diagnosis. At the time, their statement read, “To Bruce’s amazing supporters, as a family we wanted to share that our beloved Bruce has been experiencing some health issues and has recently been diagnosed with aphasia, which is impacting his cognitive abilities. As a result of this and with much consideration Bruce is stepping away from the career that has meant so much to him.”

Signs of FTD can include speech issues, difficulty with motor skills like walking, and changes in behaviour and personality. The frontal lobe of the brain, which is impacted by the disease, controls self-insight, which can result in Bruce’s understanding of his situation.&nbsp;

'Dementia is hard', says Bruce Willis' wife while giving an update on actor's health

Dev Anand would have celebrated 100 years of his birth today on September 26, 2023. With over 100 films to his credit over a career spanning more than six decades of work as an actor, producer, and visionary storyteller, Dev Anand was an artist unparalleled. A true superstar of his time, someone who played a hero and an anti-hero on screen with equal flamboyance, Dev Anand has left an indelible impression on the minds of those who have watched his films and hummed his music. While his films, some successful and some not so successful (but have gained a cult status later on) continue to provoke a sense of nostalgia for fans of old-school Bollywood, there was something else that the star is remembered for – his inimitable romance with music.&nbsp;

<h2>Dev Anand collaborated with the most creative people in Indian music of all times</h2>

One of the only few actors who had the chance to collaborate with the likes of Kishore Kumar, Mohammed Rafi, Lata Mangeshkar, Suraiya, SD Burman, Hemant Kumar, Shankar-Jaikishen, O. P. Nayyar, and Kalyanji-Anandji – Dev Anand’s films boast&nbsp;a musical journey of their own. Right from when he started in 1946 with Hum Ek Hain, a film about Hindu-Muslim unity, his first hit&nbsp;Ziddi (1948) to his last film Chargesheet (2011), two months before his death in December that year – Dev Anand stayed true to his one true love, films and music.&nbsp;

<img alt="Dev" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="f83e3b9c-6aa7-4455-bf41-8bcb9e8ce4d9" src="//cdn.wionews.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/HORIZONS%20-%202023-09-26T134734.601.jpg" />

The man who gave us “Bombay noir” with superhits in the 1950s like Baazi, Jaal, Taxi Driver, Pocketmaar, Paying Guest, Kala Pani, and Kala Bazar – had a&nbsp;diverse filmography. From playing a young man who wants to make it big in life to someone who wants to give up all for love, Dev Anand is the inspiration that made the youth of the time find purpose, seek motive for the hustle, and enjoy their lives on their own conditions.&nbsp;

<h2>Dev Anand's charisma transcended generations</h2>

When Dev Anand performed, his fast dialogue delivery and the nodding style enthralled all fans, women more so but the melody is his films catered to all. Melody was a hallmark of Dev Anand’s films, whether they were made by Nav Ketan, his own production house, or was a collaboration between him and other producers, the actor was always present at the music sittings of all his films, cite reports. People who knew him, the bigwigs of the entertainment world who knew him personally were aware that no music in his film could get a green light without Anand approving of it first. Even as a first-time producer when he took the plunge from acting to production, he knew what he wanted when he roped in Suraiya, a singing sensation of her time and back then a bigger star than him by all measure.&nbsp;

<img alt="Suraiya" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="adf8cbfa-3176-4c54-94af-62d81e79a965" src="//cdn.wionews.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/HORIZONS%20-%202023-09-26T134903.538.jpg" />

<h2>Some of Dev Anand's most music-rich&nbsp;films we love and adore</h2>

Whether it was Geeta Bai singing “Tadbeer se bigdi hui/Taqdeer bana le” recorded in Geeta Dutt’s seductive voice or Suchitra Sen in the backdrop of soul-stirring SD Burman music like “Deewana mastana hua dil/Jaane kahan hoke bahar aayee” in which she is expressing her happiness at finding her long-lost brother, Dev Anand’s films had music for centuries to come. Another film that needs special mention when we speak of music in films is Dev’s 1965 film Guide. Paired opposite Waheeda Rehman, Guide was about breaking free from the shackles of society-defined norms. When Waheeda dances to “Aaj phir jeene ki tamanna hai”, you feel connected to her character Rosie, who breaks free from her husband after being in a sad marriage. You listen to that song today in 2023 and you can still feel the energy and mood of the character who urges you to do what you wish for, without a second thought to it.&nbsp;

<img alt="Guide" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="bc31eb18-a387-41e9-b45a-530597aedcea" src="//cdn.wionews.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/HORIZONS%20-%202023-09-26T134454.302_0.jpg" />

How can one&nbsp;forget “Din dhal jaye” which was a prominent song from Dev Anand’s Kaala Bazaar (1960)? Music by SD Burman and directed by Vijay Anand, Dev&nbsp;and Waheeda’s chemistry lit up the screens again, not just with the story but with songs that live in our hearts rent-free. Think songs like “Rimjhim ke tarane leke aayi barsaat” and “Khoya khoya chand, khula aasman.”&nbsp;

Also read:&nbsp;Dev Anand and Guru Dutt: The friendship that began due to swapping of shirts

Then there was Kaala Paani in which Dev Anand and Madhubala captured the naivety of romance, the playful side of youthful romance as they danced and teased each other with “Achcha ji main haari, chalo maan jao na”. With Hum Dono (1961), Dev immortalised himself as the quintessential hero in a story set against World War II. The film gave us gems like “Main zindagi ka saath nibhata chala gaya/ Har phikr ko dhuen mein udata chala gaya” and “Abhi na jao chodkar ki dil abhi bhara nahi”.

<img alt="Madhubala" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="0fa83bbf-78ed-42f9-8d47-b63b1fb590e8" src="//cdn.wionews.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/HORIZONS%20-%202023-09-26T134512.133.jpg" />

When Mohammad Rafi lent his romantic voice to the architect to serenade a shy Nutan with “Dil ka bhavar kare pukar” in Tere Ghar Ke Saamne, you can imagine only Dev Anand romancing in the stairway of Qutub Minar in New Delhi. A virtual treasure trove of sweet melodies, especially from the 1940s to the early 1970s, Dev Anand’s films had a range of talented singers.&nbsp;

We can go on and the list is endless with his evergreen songs from 100+ films. With every decade, his stories changed, the characters and the way he emoted changed and so did the energy in his songs. But what remained the same was the intensity with which he doled out music for generations to come.&nbsp;

Dev Anand would have celebrated 100 years of his birth today on September 26, 2023. With over 100 films to his credit over a career spanning more than six decades of work as an actor, producer, and visionary storyteller, Dev Anand was an artist unparalleled. A true superstar of his time, someone who played a hero and an anti-hero on screen with equal flamboyance, Dev Anand has left an indelible impression on the minds of those who have watched his films and hummed his music. While his films, some successful and some not so successful (but have gained a cult status later on) continue to provoke a sense of nostalgia for fans of old-school Bollywood, there was something else that the star is remembered for – his inimitable romance with music. Dev Anand collaborated with the most creative people in Indian music of all times One of the only few actors who had the chance to collaborate with the likes of Kishore Kumar, Mohammed Rafi, Lata Mangeshkar, Suraiya, SD Burman, Hemant Kumar, Shankar-Jaikishen, O. P. Nayyar, and Kalyanji-Anandji – Dev Anand’s films boast a musical journey of their own. Right from when he started in 1946 with Hum Ek Hain, a film about Hindu-Muslim unity, his first hit Ziddi (1948) to his last film Chargesheet (2011), two months before his death in December that year – Dev Anand stayed true to his one true love, films and music. The man who gave us “Bombay noir” with superhits in the 1950s like Baazi, Jaal, Taxi Driver, Pocketmaar, Paying Guest, Kala Pani, and Kala Bazar – had a diverse filmography. From playing a young man who wants to make it big in life to someone who wants to give up all for love, Dev Anand is the inspiration that made the youth of the time find purpose, seek motive for the hustle, and enjoy their lives on their own conditions. Dev Anand's charisma transcended generations When Dev Anand performed, his fast dialogue delivery and the nodding style enthralled all fans, women more so but the melody is his films catered to all. Melody was a hallmark of Dev Anand’s films, whether they were made by Nav Ketan, his own production house, or was a collaboration between him and other producers, the actor was always present at the music sittings of all his films, cite reports. People who knew him, the bigwigs of the entertainment world who knew him personally were aware that no music in his film could get a green light without Anand approving of it first. Even as a first-time producer when he took the plunge from acting to production, he knew what he wanted when he roped in Suraiya, a singing sensation of her time and back then a bigger star than him by all measure. Some of Dev Anand's most music-rich films we love and adore Whether it was Geeta Bai singing “Tadbeer se bigdi hui/Taqdeer bana le” recorded in Geeta Dutt’s seductive voice or Suchitra Sen in the backdrop of soul-stirring SD Burman music like “Deewana mastana hua dil/Jaane kahan hoke bahar aayee” in which she is expressing her happiness at finding her long-lost brother, Dev Anand’s films had music for centuries to come. Another film that needs special mention when we speak of music in films is Dev’s 1965 film Guide. Paired opposite Waheeda Rehman, Guide was about breaking free from the shackles of society-defined norms. When Waheeda dances to “Aaj phir jeene ki tamanna hai”, you feel connected to her character Rosie, who breaks free from her husband after being in a sad marriage. You listen to that song today in 2023 and you can still feel the energy and mood of the character who urges you to do what you wish for, without a second thought to it. How can one forget “Din dhal jaye” which was a prominent song from Dev Anand’s Kaala Bazaar (1960)? Music by SD Burman and directed by Vijay Anand, Dev and Waheeda’s chemistry lit up the screens again, not just with the story but with songs that live in our hearts rent-free. Think songs like “Rimjhim ke tarane leke aayi barsaat” and “Khoya khoya chand, khula aasman.” Also read: Dev Anand and Guru Dutt: The friendship that began due to swapping of shirts Then there was Kaala Paani in which Dev Anand and Madhubala captured the naivety of romance, the playful side of youthful romance as they danced and teased each other with “Achcha ji main haari, chalo maan jao na”. With Hum Dono (1961), Dev immortalised himself as the quintessential hero in a story set against World War II. The film gave us gems like “Main zindagi ka saath nibhata chala gaya/ Har phikr ko dhuen mein udata chala gaya” and “Abhi na jao chodkar ki dil abhi bhara nahi”. When Mohammad Rafi lent his romantic voice to the architect to serenade a shy Nutan with “Dil ka bhavar kare pukar” in Tere Ghar Ke Saamne, you can imagine only Dev Anand romancing in the stairway of Qutub Minar in New Delhi. A virtual treasure trove of sweet melodies, especially from the 1940s to the early 1970s, Dev Anand’s films had a range of talented singers.

Caffeinated drinks are known to increase alertness. If the intake increases, it can lead to anxiety and nervousness, as it blocks the effects of adenosine and triggers the release of adrenaline. 

Move During the Day
Movement is key. If you’re able to walk, then try getting those extra steps. While watching screens like TV or tablets, jog in place or do jumping jacks in between. Take the kids to the playground or join friends on a walk.

Quit Smoking
The best way to eliminate heart disease risks linked to smoking is to quit the habit. There is no easy way around this but just kick the habit as it is linked to increased anxiety and related illnesses.

Change Source of Protein in Diet
Red meat is high in saturated fat, which can increase cholesterol. Substitute chicken, fish, or beans for red meat at most meals. Making healthy eating choices is key to preventing cardiovascular diseases..



Manage Sleep
Without long periods of deep sleep, your body will release chemicals that make it difficult for your heart rate and blood pressure to stay low. That means higher blood pressure while you’re awake, which can lead to heart disease in the long run.



Reduce Stress on Body and Mind
Stress spikes your blood pressure by making your heart beat faster and not in a good way. Spending time in nature can help relieve stress and anxiety and help you feel healthier and happier.



Regular walking after a meal helps in maintaining or losing weight. It also aids with appetite regulation and decreases the urge to consume unhealthy snacks in between meals.

Ranbir Kapoor wows fans with doting dad vibes as he steps out in an adorable cap

Imagine if Christopher Nolan hadn’t roped in Christian Bale for the role of his masked superhero Batman in the eponymous hit trilogy? Difficult to imagine right? There are reports now that this could have been a reality if all had gone well as screenwriter David S. Goyer recently revealed that Jake Gyllenhaal was being considered for the role at one point in time. During an episode of the Happy Sad Confused podcast, Goyer said, “I mean, Gyllenhaal’s amazing, Christian Bale’s amazing, so who knows what.”

David S. Goyer helped develop the trilogy’s story that went on to become one of the best Batman films in the legacy of the DC superhero. David, who co-wrote 2005’s Batman Begins, said that after a number of people screen-tested for the part of Batman, in the first film, he “advocated for Jake Gyllenhaal.”

When the podcast host asked him if there was any footage somewhere of Jake Gyllenhaal auditioning in the Batman costume, David said, “I believe there is, yes.”

But wait, that’s not it, as there were other contenders for the other parts in the films.&nbsp;David added, “There were a couple of different candidates in the running for Ra’s Al Ghul,” but that he voted for Liam Neeson because he “was a little older.” He said it made more sense with the story they were trying to tell regarding “this paternal story about the shadow of his [Bruce’s] father.”

In Batman Begins, Ken Watanabe was credited as portraying villain Ra’s al Ghul as a decoy while Neeson, who was the real Ra’s al Ghul and returned for 2012’s The Dark Knight Rises, was credited by his alias Henri Ducard.

David also revealed that at one point an executive from Warner Bros. suggested that they use Leonardo DiCaprio play the Riddler in the next film but he told the executive that it’s not the way they work. He added that Christopher Nolan is “very process driven” and was “staunchly against” building a movie around the villain “because he said that’s not a bottom, ground-up way of telling a story. Let’s do it in a very naturalistic way, so let’s figure out what kind of story we want to tell and what we thematically want to explore with Bruce, and then let’s figure out a villain that fits that story.”

While we all know what Christian Bale did to the Batman role, how do you think Jake Gyllenhaal would have served the cape?&nbsp;
