Hollywood Effect 

Using a celebrity or high profile individual to add status, glamour, or recognition to a project.

Usually advertising, a charity or a religion.
If we are gonna sell this shit to the public we need to add the Hollywood Effect.

This cult must be a real religion because it has a Hollywood actor as a member.

I'm gonna buy this product because - insert name - uses it.

the bollywood effect 

When one or two people dance with each other and it escalates to the whole world dancing with him/her/them in perfect sync. This effect is prevalent in Bollywood movies, hence the name.
"I saw a couple dancing to a catchy tune in the horizon and the next thing you know, I'm dancing with my friends behind the couple without any reason and nailing it on my first try!"

"That's the Bollywood effect."
