Fameflation (noun)- an uncontrolable upward trend in the terms used to describe the level of noteriety of an individual. Hence someone who has made an amatuer porn video becomes "a star" (see Paris Hilton), someone who has made two or three films becomes a superstar and any band who's recorded at least 3 albums can put out a "Greatest Hits" collection.
I was driven to this nsark after receiving an email from someone (I forget from whom know and I deleted it) in which Pink was described as a superstar. Now don't get me wrong. I like Pink, she's talented, aware and I dig much of her music. But she ain't no superstar and ain't gonna be one anytime soon!
