Shower attention (on) (4)

I believe the answer is:

dote

(Other definitions for dote that I've seen before include "Be overfond" , "Be foolishly fond" , "To show great affection" , "Be extremely and uncritically fond of" , "Be feeble when getting on" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal and the Newsday.
