Coupling is the act of blending two celebrity couples' names together to form one super celebrity word.
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are Brangelina. Their family is Clangelina.
Beyonce Knowles and Jay-Z, who were rumored to have recently tied the knot, could be Zeyonce, BZ or TMZ favorite BeJay. Any children they have could be called JayBs.
This week, Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz announced they are engaged. Coupling possibilities include: Ashlete, Wenson, Pimpson, Ashlentz.
Do you have a better Ashlee-Pete or Beyonce-Jay name? Submit them to me, and I'll pick a winner, who will get a prize.

They can call their anniversary Ash-Wentz Day! With an exclamation point!

I've also seen Jolie-Pitt as Bradgelina, with just one "N." Just sayin'

How about we just call them by name, instead of some elementary school nickname. Of course that would require the media to stop making every single breath they take an earth shattering news event, so maybe I'm asking for too much.
TRACY'S REPLY: I believe headline writers benefit most from coupling. It would be too cumbersome to say the Jolie-Pitts in a headline and the Wentzes sounds dull. I'd like to see coupling become actual names, just like the L.A. mayor, who coupled his name when he got married. I think a blended name is more progressive than the woman totally abandoning her name and taking the guy's name.
