'Hot Ones' Sean Evans' Ex Melissa Stratton's Pornhub Searches Surge After Split
Sean Evans‘ “Hot Ones” crown has been handed over to his ex-girlfriend Melissa Stratton … ’cause searches for the porn star have spiked like crazy following their short-lived romance.
Pornhub tells TMZ that while Melissa was dumped on Valentine’s Day, her popularity surged online … with those looking for some X-rated entertainment flocking to the adult entertainment site to check out her work.
In fact, the PH demand for Melissa was so high on Wednesday, her searches went up a staggering 1,217% compared to her daily average.
While Pornhub didn’t have final data for Melissa’s searches on Thursday, they’re predicting she did even better than V-Day … estimating a 1,350% increase compared to her daily average. Yup, that’s a helluva lot of views!!
TMZ broke the story … Melissa and Sean were dating and split less than 24 hours after their relationship hit headlines.
We’re told Sean wasn’t happy with all the media attention they were getting after going public … which shocked Melissa because he was fully aware of what she did for a living. It’s the kinda thing that comes up over dinner.

He also invited her to loads of Vegas events ahead of the Super Bowl and snapped many photos with her. Sources added that Melissa wasn’t happy with how things panned out because she thought they had a genuine spark.
We’re told Melissa’s sad about the split, and on Thursday she jabbed at Sean by sharing a clip of herself dancing alongside fellow porn star Johnny Sins … with the caption, “It’s ok. I’ve got a better bald man to get spicy with.”

What song best defines the millennial generation?
On this episode from our friends at All Songs Considered, NPR Music editors Hazel Cills and Sheldon Pearce join host Robin Hilton to weigh the options and attempt to pick the one song that best captures the Millennial experience, from the dizzying highs of the dot-com boom, when anything seemed possible, to the post-9-11 bust, the “hope and change” of the Obama years, and prolonged period of generational disillusionment.

The New York Knicks lost Game 3 of the NBA Finals to the San Antonio Spurs last night, breaking their 13-game postseason winning streak.
Knicks coach Mike Brown criticized referees for the disparity between free throw attempts between the two teams. But fans online drew alternate theories as to why the Knicks lost: President Trump was at the game. This was the first time a sitting president attended an NBA Finals game.
“When Trump showed up on the jumbotron during the national anthem, [the crowd] booed louder than when the Spurs came on the court,” sports journalist Albert Samaha told Morning Edition.
President Trump later told reporters, “It was, I think, mostly cheers. It was loud, and very enthusiastic.”
NPR’s Michel Martin spoke with Samaha about Game 3, New York City’s reaction to having Trump in attendance and predictions for Game 4 of the NBA Finals.
