to fish the fame

When a movie star or a politician want to catch people's attention, they usually apply many strategies such as love affairs, scandals, and charity activities, ..., etc. What would you call this kind of purpose? Does "to fish the fame" and "to boost one's popularity/name" do the trick? If not, how would you word it? Thanks.

Definitely not "fish the fame." That's not a standard idiom. At least, not any that I have evere heard.

They are publicity hounds, seeking publicity, what they do are "publicity stunts."
