Shia ran into trouble while at a production of Cabaret in New York City last month, resulting in him being arrested for disorderly conduct. His representative later confirmed he is getting treatment for alcohol addiction, although he hasn't checked into rehab.Brad and Shia got to know each other while they were shooting upcoming movie Fury, and the older actor has apparently reached out to the troubled star."Brad and Angelina admire anyone who works to turn their life around, so they wanted to offer Shia a helping hand. They understand how hard it can be to kick demons," an insider told the American edition of OK! magazine.Angelina has been open about her struggles with substances in the past, admitting her early 20s were a difficult time. That has been pushed to the fore again recently, with the publication of a video apparently showing the star under the influence when she was younger. She is said to be considering legal action over its publication.Fury is set during World War II and Brad and Shia are said to have experienced some difficulties on set. There were claims Shia pulled out his own tooth during shooting and also stopped washing so he could get into character. Apparently Brad has started to wonder if that behaviour was symptomatic of a deeper issue."Brad's a positive guy who tries to put good energy out there whenever he can. He loves a success story," the insider said.

International film star Angelina Jolie has accepted an offer to visit Nauru, according to reports.The invitation followed Jolie’s meeting with Nauru's President Baron Waqa at a global summit on sexual violence against women in conflict last month.The Hollywood actress is the Special Envoy for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees.Nauru is a destination for Australian asylum seekers under the federal government's policy of not accepting asylum seekers on the Australian mainland.The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees Antonio Guterres has been a staunch critic of the effect on asylum seekers. He has previously called the Australian attitude to asylum seekers arriving by boat to seek protection as "very strange".Nauru's government confirmed the actress had accepted the invitation, and said it believed the visit would be an opportunity to showcase the facilities for refugees on Nauru, the ABC reported.No date has been set for Jolie's visit to Nauru.Australian Immigration Minister Scott Morrison said on Monday any visit by the Hollywood star to Nauru was not a matter for Australia.‘‘Well, those are matters for the Nauruan government, they decide who comes to their country. You should direct those questions to them,’’ he said during a press conference in Canberra.When asked whether the minister was concerned Ms Jolie's visit would shine a light on Australia's treatment of asylum seekers in Nauru, Mr Morrison said: ‘‘I don't plan to respond to any of the assertions you have made. Who visits Nauru is a matter for the Nauruan government.’’

The Maleficent actress visits Dr. David Colbert every month for a 'triad facial' laser treatment to help maintain her glowing complexion and youthful appearance.The doctor - whose clients also include Naomi Watts and Jennifer Lawrence - said: "People call it a facial but it is actually a non-invasive laser treatment."First we prep skin with microdermabrasion so the laser penetrates better. Then we use a laser, which feels like warm raindrops on the skin. After that. we do a lavender acid exfoliation, then apply gentle wave lights."The treatment takes about 35 minutes for the face or an hour for the whole body - we usually treat the arms and legs, the bits that will be on show."Most of our stars will have it before a big event - the Emmys or Oscars. People who are regularly in the media will come in monthly or every other month."Dr. Colbert first worked with Angelina, 39, on 2009 movie Salt, where he helped created a special face cream for her.He told Britain's Grazia magazine: "I've worked with her on several movies as a consultant where there has been prosthetic make-up.For Salt we developed a skin cream that was really gentle, with shea nut butter."It's called Heal and Soothe, $120, and helps keep skin looking calm and dewy."

The 16-minute video, which was originally published by the National Enquirer, shows the actress walking around an apartment and talking on the phone. The clip was allegedly shot by Franklin Meyer, who claims to have been the Oscar winner’s drug dealer when she was living in New York, according to the Mail’s article, which was published on July 8.Jolie has dicussed her past drug use in interviews before, but the Times reports that she views the Daily Mail‘s publication of the video as a “gross violation of her privacy.”
