Michelle “Bombshell” McGee became known for sleeping with Jesse James while he was married to Sandra Bullock. This tattoo-covered anternative model and porn actress hit the news in 2010, claiming she had texts as proof of their indiscretions with James.

Traci Lords appeared in television shows such as Roseanne, Married with Children, as a regular on the sci-fi show First Wave, and later on Nash Bridges, Gilmore Girls, The Profiler and others.

She used a fake ID when she started her porn career at the age of 16. The scandal was international.

Mia Khalifa is an Lebanon born American, and a porn star who became a celebrity overnight. The scandal she was involved in was a porn shooting where she wore a hijab.

On the contrary, it boosted her popularity to ridiculous proportions and made her name appear all over the news - both national and international. Her name is the most searched porn star name of 2014 and 2015.
