ghostwriter 

The literary equivalent of the fat old guys who sang on the Milli Vanilli records. In other words, a writer who writes under someone else's name with their consent. The so-called author gets his or her name printed on the cover and receives credit for the writing while the ghostwriter does the actual work.

Celebrity and politician autobiographies are usually ghostwritten, due to the "author" having no writing talent whatsoever. What, you think Jenna Jameson and Hillary Clinton actually wrote their books?

Ghostwriters are also disturbingly common in fiction, not that anyone gives a rat's ass that Tom Clancy doesn't actually write his crappy novels.
Even if you think Harry Potter sucks, the author at least deserves credit for actually writing the books instead of hiring a ghostwriter.

Ghostwriter 

N. One of the best early '90s childrens TV show. It was a bit low-budget, and corny, but very addicting. About a group of junior high students that try and solve mysteries with the help of their white, dot, ghost-like friend. They communicate with him by writing words out.
Rally J!
Lennie had no singing talent what so ever.
You gotta believe, and reach for the stars...

Ghostwriter crew

a clique or group of people in which each member of the group is of a different nationality, race, and/or religion. named after the popular PBS show Ghostwriter in which a group of junior high students of various nationalities solved mysteries together with the aide of a literate spirit named Ghostwriter.
The diversity was astounding- there was a white guy, a black chick, a couple of latin people, one or two asians, and I think even a British dude. It was a serious Ghostwriter crew.
