go Hollywood

Adopt star affectations

Go Hollywood means to adopt the perceived superficial, pretentious, or self-important attitudes associated with the entertainment industry.

It implies someone has changed after achieving success or exposure to celebrity culture, becoming vain or forgetting their roots: Don't go Hollywood on us just because you got a promotion.

The phrase can describe affected behavior, flashy lifestyle changes, or treating old friends as beneath you.
