"glory hounds" or "gossip mongers"
Seeking fame at others' expense and gossiping have never been my thing...even back in school... and I dislike the nosy neighbor (like my current one) or co-worker that pretends to be your friend just so they can get some "juicy" tid-bits to gossip about and blow the story up to something it's not. They don't understand what damage they can cause...like my ex coworker that did this to the level of backstabbing me. It was NOT a pretty picture when I told her that her "friendship" was no longer required or important. Especially, after my son came out, when she went around gossiping and spreading rumors that lead to a school-board inquiry based on completely unfounded rumors and lies.
Glory hounding is just another way to be selfish and self-centered. I've seen too much of this in my life.
