Hollywood (/ˈhɒliwʊd/ HOL-ee-wuud) is a neighborhood in the central region of Los Angeles, California. The neighborhood is notable for its place as the home of the U.S. film industry, including several of its historic studios. Its name has come to be a metonym for the motion picture industry of the United States. Hollywood is also a highly ethnically diverse, densely populated, economically diverse neighborhood and retail business district.
Hollywood was a small community in 1870 and was incorporated as a municipality in 1903. It officially merged with the city of Los Angeles in 1910, and soon thereafter a prominent film industry began to emerge, eventually becoming the most recognizable film industry in the world.
In 1853, one adobe hut stood in Nopalera (Nopal field), named for the Mexican Nopal cactus indigenous to the area. By 1870, an agricultural community flourished. The area was known as the Cahuenga Valley, after the pass in the Santa Monica Mountains immediately to the north.
Hollywood is a 2002 Indian Kannada science fiction film written by Upendra and directed by Dinesh Babu. It starred Upendra in a triple role as Surendra, Upendra and US 47 (an android robot) along with the Australian actress Felicity Mason as Manisha. The movie was dubbed into Telugu the following year retaining the same title. The movie was shot entirely in Hollywood, California with a very few support cast, including Ananth Nag and a monkey called Lakshmi, voiced by Ramesh Bhat. The movie was also dubbed into Telugu, retaining the same title.
Upendra plays a lovelorn nerd Surendra who can do anything to get Manisha (Felicity Mason) to love him. Desperate to impress her and unable to do so himself, he seeks the help of his maverick scientist professor (Ananth Nag). The professor comes up with a clone of Surendra who will do the bit of impressing Manisha, and once the task is accomplished, the real Surendra will take over.
However, things go berserk after the professor gives Surendra's clone - an android robot - the ability to think and act like humans. He bestows the clone named US 47 with human discretion and human emotion. The idea of the clone backfires when US 47 starts using his discretion and falls in love with Manisha. Using his robotic strength and human intelligence, and of course the help of a lab monkey (Seenu), US 47 proves to be a formidable enemy to Surendra over Manisha. Now the mad professor, Surendra, his twin brother Upendra and Manisha need to get together to solve the problem.
"Hollywood", originally titled "Hollywood Is Dead", is a song by Canadian crooner Michael Bublé, released as the fifth and final single from his fourth studio album Crazy Love, and is the only from its re-release, The Hollywood Edition, which was released on October 25, 2010. "Hollywood" was released worldwide on September 7, 2010.
Bublé described the song as being about his "tongue-in-cheek statement on the culture of celebrity," saying "People will do anything for their 15 minutes, and you have to remember who you are and why you wanted it. At the end of the day, you should be careful: You might get what you wish for." "Hollywood" was originally planned to be Crazy Love's third single and was reported to be released as a stand-alone single at a later date because the song did not fit the album thematically or stylistically. It debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 at the fifty-fifth position, with 46,000 digital downloads in its first week. He performed "Hollywood" on The X Factor on October 31, 2010. He also performed the song on The Today Show on November 28 and The Tonight Show with Jay Leno on December 12.
I been out on this battlefield a while now
Fighting to love you
Hopin I would conquer somehow
Baby as old as it can get
I'm goin ride until the end
It ain't nothin, just call me i'll come runnin
Don't tell me that you ain never let ya feelins show
Or you been hurt before so maybe I should just go
Them other girls they just ain't me
I can be your everything
It aint nothin, but you just gotta let me
You should let me, let me
Let me love you like you should be
I'll be the moon and the stars if that's what's in your heart
For you love i'd go far
And if your heart would
Just let me, let me in
I would fill it up with what's been missing
That's all my time and attention not to mention
We'd own the greatest love story if you let me
Make a wish, make a wish, make a wish
Upon me i'm your star
I'm your genie in a bottle
Rub me up from the bottom
I will make your dreams come true
Not an ocean or a mountain gonna stand in the way
I would do anything and do whatever it takes
To see that you were made for me
I was mean't to be your queen
It ain't nothin, let's turn it into something
Cause I wanna fall in love
I wanna be the one that you call on
Whenever you're in need
But you just gotta trust me
You should let me, let me
Let me love you like you should be
I'll be the moon and the stars if that's what's in your heart
For you love i'd go far
And if your heart would
Just let me, let me in
I would fill it up with what's been missing
That's all my time and attention not to mention
