Catcher in the Rye- Chapter 10

Holden decides to go to the Lavernder Room (hotel's night club). He gets a table and tries to order a drink, but the waitress refuses. He explains that he is usually able to purchase alcohol because of his height and gray hair. Holden starts to flirt and dance with three girls. They tolerate him for a little while then start laughing at him. Holden is depressed when he figures out that the girls are obsessed with movie stars. This depresses Holden because he thinks the movie stars are all fake. He pays for the girls' drinks and leaves the room.

Why does Holden think everyone is a fake? He believes the movie stars are fake and most people in society are fake.
