This was coined over 50 years ago so I'm surprised I hadn't heard of it. But it makes perfect sense, it is an actual dictionary defined word.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Famous for being famous, or famous for nothing, is a pejorative popular culture term that refers to someone who attains celebrity status for no particular identifiable reason (as opposed to fame based on achievements, skill, and/or talent) and just appears to generate their own fame, or someone who achieves fame through association with an actual celebrity (such as being the spouse, child, etc. of one).[1] The application of the term suggests that the individual has no particular talents or abilities. People who have been described as "famous for being famous" include Angelyne,[2] Jill Kelley,[3] Paris Hilton,[4] Nicole Richie,[5] Katie Price,[6] and the Kardashian sisters Kim, Khloé and Kourtney.[7]
