Blended names

Why oh why do the people who write for these rag magazines insist on blending celebrity couple names? Brangelina, Johnnifer, TomKat, etc. It wasn't cute or clever when they first started doing it and it's now downright nauseating.
Can you imagine if they did that in the 50s and 60s? Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton would be "Lick". Debbie Reynolds and Eddie Fisher would be "Deddie". Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall would be "Humpen". At least that's funny AND clever.
Enough already.
