A portion of the city of Los Angeles bordered on the west by the city of West Hollywood, on the north by the Hollywood Hills and San Fernando Valley, and south and east by various other sections of Los Angeles. It is a word falsely used to describe "plastic, selfish, and stuck up" people, as well as the entertainment industry, although the portion of Los Angeles called Hollywood is actually a mainly residential area, with many cultures and backgrounds. It's also not exactly the safest area of the city in many parts, regardless of its perception.

There are tourist attractions but it's no different than any other area known to outsiders.

Me: "Come back and repeat that statement when you do. Also, when you're there, be careful."
A nickname given to a person who looks good on the social networks, pretends to be of high class and rock fame and successful, but in reality is none of that. See Catfish, but only in Hollywood's case, he will portray himself as the victim.

Area in California. People think it's "all that" and only famous people live there, which in REALITY it's just another city in America. It has just been characterized differently by modern-day pop culture and the media.
