celebraties + brat

Explanation:
Clever new word.

Combination of "celebratries", ie famous people, stars and "brats" who are rude, ill-behaved children. So, celebraties are the awful kids of famous people.

celebrity who is better known for getting into trouble with one's achievements

Explanation:
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=celebraty

An entertainer, sports star or member of high society, etc., who is better known for getting into trouble than for his/her achievements.

A fairly new word, but not children who get into trouble but grown-ups, lately like O.J. Simpson.

The original word is celebraty, but in the source used in the plural form.

Reference: Same type of portmanteau word as glitterati, similar meaning

Reference information:
"Celebrati" is no doubt constructed using the same system, and with a similar meaning to glitterati.

Here, celebrity + litterati.

It may very well refer particularly to famous spoiled (young?) people with too much money to spend and fashionable places to go as well, as our colleagues suggest...

glit⋅te⋅ra⋅ti
/ˌglɪtəˈrɑti/
wealthy or famous people who conspicuously or ostentatiously attend fashionable events.
Origin:1935–40; b. glitter and literati
Dictionary.com Unabridged, based on the Random House Dictionary, © Random House, Inc. 2009.

Glitterati
glit·te·ra·ti (glĭt'ə-rä'tē)
pl.n. Informal
Highly fashionable celebrities; the smart set: "private parties on Park Avenue and Central Park West, where the literati mingled with glitterati" (Skylines).
[Blend of glitter and literati.]
