The term used to describe a marginal "celebrity" 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 start a celebstitute fund to ensure that this seemingly bottomless supply of willing distractions is kept spray-tanned and Ed-Hardied to their hearts' content.)

The term used to describe the calculated legal maneuver of preemptively sending a misbehaving celebrity to rehab in an effort to avoid jail time.
“The famed celebrity defense attorney, representing the latest lifestyle victim of not-so-young-anymore Hollywood, has proactively checked his client into a nearby rehab facility hoping to sway the judge’s upcoming ruling away from time in jail—a tactic known in legal circles as a “pleahab” deal.”

The term used to describe a discount "celebrity" who is easily accessible and routinely willing to demean themselves for a nominal fee.
It is an accepted misnomer within the television industry that the casts of shows beginning with the term "Celebrity" are in fact primarily comprised of salebrities (as producers know that “Salebrity Rehab”, while accurate, would undoubtedly taint the high standard of quality and respectability viewers have come to expect).
