publicity-hound
Craves media spotlight
A publicity-hound is someone who craves media attention and actively seeks coverage of themselves.
The term is mildly disparaging, suggesting the person's hunger for exposure is excessive or undignified: He's such a publicity-hound—he'd show up to the opening of an envelope if cameras were there.
