fish a 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.

我想大家搞错了问话者的用意吧？
他不是想知道fish a fame的意思，他是想知道炒作的对应英文表达。
