media whore
Camera-chasing fame addict
A media whore is someone who aggressively seeks publicity and media attention, willing to do almost anything to get on camera or in print.
The term is derogatory, suggesting shameless self-promotion: He'll give an interview to anyone—total media whore.
Sometimes used self-deprecatingly by public figures acknowledging their own hunger for coverage.
