market whore

A Market Whore is someone who uses their talent, popular name or status to contrive gimmicks or schemes for money reasons, rather than focus more on the talent for integrity reasons.

"Justin Bieber and Lady Gaga. Yet two more Hollywood and New York market whores to make money off of all the kids."

"That Gene Simmons from Kiss really is a market whore. He always comes up with some new type of merchandising gimmick to sell. I mean really.. Kiss toilet paper too?"

"Looks like Madonna has yet another scandalous fashion statement and more contrived fancy footwork with a 50 foot TV screen at her shows. Wow, what a market whore. Is she really even a musician?"
