Paris Hilton is a prime example of being a pseudoceleb. The housewives on Bravo are pseudocelebs. Snooki and the Jersey Shore cast are all pseudocelebs. Scott Disick is a hanger on Kardashian and lives off being a pseudoceleb by hosting parties at nightclubs. Many has been famous people drift into being pseudocelebs when they get desperate for attention and/or money.

A weak minded person who tries to convince others that he is intelligent, by writing or talking nonsense using complicated terms and expressions is called pseudointellectual.

pseudoscience 

A branch of science without an existing subject.

People engaged in either branch of pseudoscience claim it to be science, either from delusion, ignorance or greed (or all of it). Pseudoscience is invoked in explanations for paranormal phenomenons but not limited to.

Pseudoscience fails to fulfill the definition of science, e.g falsifiability, inconsistance and contradiction of existing knowledge, inabillity to make presumption based on observations or just making a testable hypothesis to an observed phenomenon.

Related to junk scince.

pseudointellectual

Created solely as an attempt to display the author's intellectual prowess though actually void of real pith; intellectualism as style rather than substance. Often relies on heavy name dropping and erudite, obscure terminology instead of easily understood, common words.
As much as I like DJ Spooky, when he starts talking on the CD I always skip the tracks to avoid his long pseudointellectual musings.
