scandal magnet Explanation: "The 27-year-old actor-turned-scandal magnet, who was accused of ripping off graphic novel writer Daniel Clowes, for his short film, "HowardCantour.com," hired a skywriter for a New Year’s Eve mea culpa."

If that's a bit too contemporary, I might go for “scandal-ridden artist": "The acclaimed and no less scandal-ridden Gustav Klimt befriends him - although Schiele needs little encouragement in gravitating to the seamy side of Vienna during the last noxious days of the Habsburg empire” http://www.theguardian.com/books/2007/jun/09/featuresreviews... |

notorious artist Explanation: I'd really want to rewrite the sentence, but if it repeatedly occurs, I can see you've got to find something snappier.
