celebritney

The term used to describe a "celebrity" who is famous primarily for bad behavior (due to either being completely devoid of talent or having their work overshadowed by their antics).

Tiger Woods co-cheater Rachel Uchitel seems to be doing everything humanly possible to prolong her celebritney status. (Look for her upcoming cover single "Me and Bombshell McGee" to drop any day now.)

celebstitution

The term used to describe the creation of an increasingly marginal yet conveniently accessible level of "celebrity"—characterized by those whose actions make them a regular tabloid/paparazzi target, thus diverting unwanted attention away from legitimate celebrities and allowing them to lead relatively normal lives.

Celebrities living in hot-spots such as Hollywood must be thrilled by the low-hanging-fruit phenomenon of celebstitution, which keeps the paparazzi chasing reality "stars" while they run errands and drive their kids to school in peace. (Perhaps they should even consider starting a celebstitute fund to ensure that this seemingly bottomless supply of willing distractions is kept spray-tanned and Ed-Hardied to their hearts' content.)
