The sex icon has gravitated towards rock stars and ‘bad boys’, but her fast-lane mentality isn’t just limited to lovers.

Seeking a new thrill, she recently plunked down a big chunk of her own money to start her own racing team.
There are many important questions in life. Why are we here? What’s life all about?
