Celebrity Addictionary: There Oughta Be a Word
Cliff Lipson/CBS
You love the cast. You love the look of the show. The concept rocks and it's entertaining. But the writing? Eh, not so much.
We think there oughta be a word for those shows that have all the makings of success except for the pesky little fact that the scripts simply stink. We would name a few here as examples, but we don't want any show runners coming after us. Oh, OK, you twisted our arms. We'll cite one: CSI: N.Y. (Please don't hate us!)
We've come up with this word: unscriptacular. Can you do better than that? We think you can. Hit the Celebrity Addictionary below and show us what you got.

You know that look CSI: Miami's David Caruso gives when words aren't enough to fully bring the drama? Or the glances shared on any episode of The Hills (especially you, Lauren Conrad!)
We call those looks used in lieu of dialogue face acting.
Not very clever, you say? Got a better one? Go for it!

As if having to compete with 20 or so other dudes or chicks for the attention of one person isn't humiliating enough, many reality shows have taken to forsaking contestants' given names for a nickname based on a first impression.
For instance, the guy on Daisy of Love with the great abs is no longer David Amerman. He's "12-Pack." And the girl on For the Love of Ray J who liked white wine is no longer Christa Noelly. She's "Chardonnay."
We like to call them tube-dentities. You can do better than that. Give us your suggestions below.

We know you have to kiss a lot of frogs to find your prince. But come on, Jillian Harris! You kissed half the cast of The Bachelorette in a single episode last week.
Sure, it was under the guise of a group date where you hit a movie set to do some play acting and kisses were part of the scenes, but where we come from, we have a word for girls like you.
We call it reali-tart. Can you beat that?
If so, hit the Celebrity Addictionary below with your suggestions.
