Kate Gosselin writes some books. Jon Gosselin meets with Christian Audigier. Kate goes on The View. John goes on Larry King. Kate is kept as star of Plus 8. Jon moves to have the show shut down.

Kourtney Kardashian's surprise pregnancy is overshadowed by Khloé's wedding, which leads to Kim reuniting with ex-BF Reggie Bush.

And then there's the Real Housewives with their competing fashion lines and fundraisers.

Seems like reality TV stars can't help but steal each other's thunder. And there oughta be a word for that.

From Claire's love triangle on Heroes to Gossip Girl's mystery threesome, TV shows appear to be fond of pulling a triple play to firm up flagging ratings. And there oughta be a word for that.

We could be talking about anyone, really.

But imagine you're a big star and made a public goof. Say, you got up onstage somewhere and ruined someone's big night and then felt bad.

So you apologize. But somehow that doesn't seem like enough. So you do it again, maybe using ALL CAPS. Again, not enough. So you go on a talk show.

Where will it end? Here, people, because there oughta be a word for that. Why not think it up and put it in the widget below?

You can always apologize for it later.

There are celebs you see looking fabulous on the red carpet, and you think sure, they're famous, but you can't recall a recent movie or TV show or, well, anything they've been in.

Like fashionistas Camilla Belle, Kate Bosworth and Mena Suvari. (We even hear that Victoria Beckham used to sing!)

These Tinseltown talents may not have the most substantial body of work, but they get invited to all kinds of events because they're just so chic. And suddenly they seem to be more famous for their great style than their day jobs.

And there oughta be a word for that. Think you've got one? Add it to the widget below!

A hurricane isn't just a storm, an eclipse isn't just a dark day, and Megan Fox isn't just a hot star who says goofy things.

Some phenomena just require their own descriptive term.

So there oughta be a word for that. And that's where you and Celebrity Addictionary come in. Create a word to describe her unique qualities, her sublime totality, her utter Megan Foxness. Put it in the widget.

We need it. The language needs it. Megan Fox needs—no, deserves—it.

So make it a good one.

Jim Carrey did it. So did Whoopi Goldberg, Adam Sandler and Robin Williams. And nobody did it better than Tom Hanks.

What, you ask? Each of these performers started out making us laugh, which is hard enough, but then branched out into drama. And there oughta be a word for that.

Think you have one? Add it to the widget below and then check out the rest of the responses—or create your own challenges—in Celebrity Addictionary.

Hollywood is a youth-obsessed town.

There's pressure to look and feel young, and that could explain why more mature celebrities are dressing in duds that might be more appropriate for their younger counterparts. 

Not that they don't have the physique to pull it off—they do look fabulous. There comes a point, though, where it's probably best to leave the minis and midriffs to the young'uns—yet ladies like Pamela Anderson, Mariah Carey and even Jennifer Aniston are still rocking starlet-esque attire.

And there ought to be a word for that.

Think you've got one? Add it below!

In the movies, stars always look great, have the correct change and their vehicles never break down.

But in real life, they can have a bad hair day or, like Brad Pitt with his occasionally broken-down motorbike, their hogs can go belly up.

And there oughta be a word for a star who has all the right moves onscreen, but offscreen seems as human as the rest of us.

Think you know what it is? Then fire away in the Celebrity Addictionary widget below.

Then at least some of us will have all the answers.

We've all seen the story time and again.

An actor and actress light up the screen together...and appear to be just as close when snapped in candid shots on set. But their reps have no comment or just deny, deny, deny. "All of that chemistry—that's just acting."

Until one thing leads to another.

You know these stars. The ones who absolutely will not date a costar...until they do. And their oughta be a word for that.

Think you've got it? The join the wordie social at Celebrity Addictionary and submit your suggestion into the widget below.

Then at least we'll know what to call Hollywood's next kinda-sorta-maybe-but-not-confirmed power couple.

Kids grow up so fast in Hollywood.

And so does their style. Teenage stars like Miley Cyrus, Hayden Panettiere and Demi Lovato often eschew age-appropriate attire in favor of couture that's more fitting for mature, adult women—and end up looking like they're playing dress-up on the red carpet in the process.

And there oughta be a word for that.

Think you've got it? Put it in the Celebrity Addictionary widget below and, OMG, you could totally feel like a Tinseltown A-list teen.

They have such high hopes.

Contestants like Lydia here (from The Fashion Show) come on reality shows seeking glory but often get sent packing. While Lydia's safe—for now!—she could easily join those sent home who show up each week on the opening credits as sad reminders of dashed dreams.

And there oughta be a word for contestants who've been bumped off the show but still appear each week on the opening credits.

Think you got it? Put it in the Celebrity Addictionary widget below and perhaps you'll totally feel like a reality-show winner.
