Stardumb
Created by: splendiction
Pronunciation: stardom
Sentence: Stella's daughter Ella wasn't yet accustomed to her mother's new stardumb!

Unfortunately, Ella revealed signs of the same stardumbness when she admitted a wish for star-rents instead of parents.

Celebrecized
Created by: Biscotti
Pronunciation: sel-eb-ra-sized

Slebsess
Created by: Wattywords
Pronunciation: slɛb'sɛs
Sentence: Looking up from his keyboard, James McCowan observed the woman as she entered the office. Glancing around, she scanned the walls quickly, as if seeking approbation from the brightly coloured posters supporting local events and charities. Though dingily dressed in worn jeans and a ketchup-stained t-shirt, she paused, shoulders back and with one foot advanced, shook her lank blonde hair and confronted the man with her yellowing beam for just a few seconds too long. Her large handbag, stuffed with magazines, dwarfed her tiny frame. The Councillor's heart sank. Another fan, here to petition him to approve Milly Cyrus' application for a music license for her country pile. Why the wretched woman had bought a manor house in Warwickshire to throw exclusive parties was beyond him, but the slebsession of the local women had tuned the issue into a lightening rod of political pain. This was decidedly not what James had entered public service to deal with.
Etymology: Celebrity. Obsession.
Celebarnacle
Created by: Tigger
Pronunciation: /sel-leb-BAR-nuh-kul/
Sentence: Most people felt a little bit sad for Rose, because she was such a celebarnacle, reading all of the gossip rags and watching the entertainment news — she was a real pop-culture parasite. Due to her celebsession, she could tell you more stories about Britney Spears' social life than about experiences from her own, lonely life.
Etymology: celebrity - a famous or well-known person (from Latin, celeber "frequented, populous") + barnacle - marine crustacean that clings to the bottoms of ships (likely from Celtic-Breton, bernik "a type of shellfish")

No problemo, dalmero8. I was debating over using 'celebsession' vs. 'celebarnacle' and, well, I've been thinking about an upcoming cruise, craving lobster, and my mind's been 'out to sea' lately. So I guess that explains my choice... - Tigger, 2008-02-15: 21:50:00
I guess she read all the celebrags with rosey-coloured "barnacles!" Nice word. - OZZIEBOB, 2008-02-17: 17:02:00

Tigger, great idea! Did you think of it when you were hanging out with Demi/Ashton/Bruce at Sundance or as a guest at Eddy Murphy's fake wedding or schmoozing with Heidi and Seal at that Versace Fashion thingy?? Do tell, enquiring minds want to know...
Tigger - 2008-02-15: 02:46:00
Oh, the Versace thing! Wasn't that just absolutely fab? All my peeps were there and... Well no, I wasn't actually there, but I uh — I read all about it. I could've gone, but I was still distraught over the Pam Anderson divorce. [Ok, I'm giving myself the creeps now — I hate people who talk like that!]
