EPONYMOUS-HIT WONDER ^sms

HOLLYWOOD PRAYER ^sms

(noun)

The namaste-inspired clasping of hands and slight bow/nod that one Hollywood actor does while another is praising him/her. The praiser is usually onstage at an awards ceremony directing the ass-kissing to a seated audience member, who makes the above-described gesture. Formerly performed only by the biggest of Hollyweirdos, now very common (see: AIDS ribbons).

This reflexive move in response to ego-stroking is the closest anyone in Hollywood comes to praying, hence “Hollywood Prayer.”
