The below code will not work

 $('#Doctor_Name').append(' <option value="'+row.stars+'">'+row.stars+'</option>'); 

Because row.stars is an array , so you need to use another for loop or $.each to loop through the values of array row.stars to append to dropdown

$(document).on('pagebeforeshow', '#headline', function(){      
    $('#Doctor_Name').empty();

    $.each(movieInfo.result, function(i, row) {
        if(row.Event_Creation_Id == movieInfo.id) {
   // here i want to display stars value in drop down in Doctor_Name
          if(row.stars && row.stars.length > 0)
          {

            for(var i =0;i<row.stars.length;i++)
              {
                 $('#Doctor_Name').append(' <option value="'+row.stars[i]+'">'+row.stars[i]+'</option>');
              }

        }
        document.getElementById("user").value =USER_NAME;

         // document.getElementById("Store_name").value = row.Event_Name;

          //  $("#Doctor_Name").select2("val", "");
            $('#Doctor_Name').selectmenu('refresh');       
        }
    });    
});
