  COMMENTARY / Is D.C. going Hollywood?
I'm not the first Hollywood insider to make the observation that Hollywood and Washington market their respective products with similar slickness, and I'm definitely not the first to suggest that D.C. politicos often borrow from the celebrity PR playbook.
But here in Hollywood, we expect the spin, the question dodging, the shamelessly untruthful statements ("Though divorcing, my client and her ex-husband remain best of friends," "My client checked into the hospital due to exhaustion").
Hollywood, after all, is the land of fantasy, the world's dream factory, the place where fame-seeking civilians like Brad Pitt and thousands before him have moved with the dream of reinventing themselves (with the help of image handlers, of course) as the Sexiest Perfect People Alive.

True, I did want to go because it’s a neat place, and it was the only way I was ever going to get into the Hall of Fame.

Hollywood was still king, but a new medium called television was causing a stir, as more and more homes acquired this amazing invention.

 Yahoo Goes Hollywood, Internet Portal Moves Into Entertainment - CBS News
But analysts suggest a profound shift may be at work, with Yahoo using its enormous reach to force Hollywood studios, among other video creators, to produce programming with the Internet in mind.

It simply doesn't aspire to the business model of the traditional Hollywood studio, where only six out of 10 movies make back their investment.
