starlet-hopping

present-participle. Jumping from one celebrity mega-babe to another, much like a horny, jittery bunny in the morning dew.

Related terms: actress-hopping, boyfriend/girlfriend-hopping, ho-hopping, relationship-hopping, spa-hopping, cemetery-hopping, galaxy-hopping.

Real citation: "Bring up Mike De Luca's name in conversation, at least in film circles, and you'll receive no shortage of opinions and impressions--drug-fueled hedonist, '40s-style drinker and brawler, Harley-riding tough guy, and most often, starlet-hopping womanizer whose exploits are the stuff of Tinseltown legend. Not long after one such misadventure that threatened his livelihood, even as it sealed his reputation, Variety's 1999 Showman of the Year admitted, 'Some days, I feel like P.T. Barnum, but with a better circus. And some days, I feel like Fatty Arbuckle, but with a better lawyer.'"
(Paul Cullum, "Deconstructing DeLuca: The Man, The Myth, The Movies," Fade In Magazine, Nov. 2000, http://www.ptanderson.com/latestnews/articles/delucafadein.htm)

Made-up citation: "Verily, your starlet-hopping days are over, and your grandmother-boning days have begun."
