The latest Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat is setting records in the speed and power  departments. 

The 2020 “Widebody” version of the bellowing muscle car is being billed as the “fastest and most powerful mass-produced sedan in the world.” To be fair, the 2019 Dodge Charger already held the high-octane title, according to Kelly Blue Book. 

Its 6.2-liter HEMI Hellcat V8 now cranks 707 horsepower into an eight-speed automatic transmission, launching the gutsiest Charger ever to a top speed of 196 mph. But the most impressive part is how much faster it is than its predecessors on a track.  

On a 2.1-mile course, a zero-to-60 mph of 3.6 seconds, giant 15.4-inch Brembo brakes and standard race-bred tech like launch control and launch assist work to whip the menacing new ride around 2.1 seconds faster per lap than the car it replaces. 

If you’re a motorsports fan, that’s equal to about 13 car lengths per lap. Past Chargers don’t stand a chance. 

Dodge also gave the Charger Hellcat aggro new looks to match its performance. The standard wide-body package gets 3.5 inches of girth courtesy of new integrated fender flares, which make room for 20-inch wheels and a tuned suspension with adaptive damping. 

Interior updates include standard heated and ventilated Laguna leather front seats embroidered with the Hellcat logo and electronic, performance-inspired shifter controls.

Pricing wasn’t announced, but CNET’s Roadshow predicts that it’ll cost slightly more than the 2019 model’s $68,990 base price. 

After shedding 80 pounds with the ever-trendy keto diet, former adult film star Jenna Jameson took to Instagram with before-and-after shots to share her weight loss story with her followers.

“This is 205 vs. 125 both perfectly happy… but only one of these is healthy! I’m so thankful to #keto for giving me my life back!”

She captioned the picture: 

Alright my fellow #keto people and y’all who are on the fence. Let’s talk self doubt and healthy thinking. I think my body has decided this is my ideal weight. 125. My unhealthy mind keeps thinking I need to be 110. I quietly say ‘not today, demon’ I won’t cave to those voices that tell me I need to be a size 0 to be loved. When I look in the mirror now I see health and happiness, and that alone is my fuel to continue this lifestyle. Do I still pinch my loose belly skin and wish I still had a washboard tummy? Yes. Does Batelli pinch it and laugh? Yes. But that’s when my admiration for this body really hits me. I made 3 miracles. In closing I think it boils down to self love. Say it with me… I LOVE ME. 

Jameson has been on the high-fat, low-carb diet since March 2018 after struggling to lose the baby weight she gained during her pregnancies, and slimmed down from 205 pounds to a healthy 125.

Her Instagram account has essentially turned into a keto inspiration page, where she not only shares her progress but also lays out what she eats throughout the day.

I wake up at 6 am and immediately make coffee. I prefer instant with stevia and heavy cream.
I then allow myself to get hungry. That usually is about 10 or 11 am.
I cook 4 over easy eggs and top them with sour cream with Cholula hot sauce mixed in.
Around 2 pm I find myself hungry again. I have been loving this cabbage salad I make. It’s comprised of shredded cabbage, sesame oil, fresh ginger, soy sauce and a handful of minced cashews. It’s fabulous with a chicken breast.
6 pm is my last meal of the day. I’m a steak lover, so I always have a beautiful ribeye on hand! I’ve been loving double ribeyes lately… so I sear them in a skillet then bake low and slow, and that results in a super tender piece of meat! I pair it with zucchini noodles with marinara. Throughout the day I drink lots of water and I adore the soda zevia, I highly recommend it! 

She also posted about her sobriety:

“Today is an important day for me in my recovery. 3 years. I can’t begin to explain what sobriety has brought to my life. But I will try…Yes, I’m not the intensely self centered ‘the world owes me something’ woman anymore. I am now the ‘What can I do for the world’ woman.”

Celine Dion’s style as of late has been well documented (but who are we kidding, she’s been a style icon since the ’90s). Ever since celebrity stylist Law Roach (he calls himself an “image architect” got hold of her, her looks have gone to directional new heights that leave our jaws on the floor (see for yourself). Dion spends a lot of time in Paris these days, and that’s oftentimes where some of her most well-documented looks occur, like the one we’re talking about here. 

Dion stepped out in Paris yesterday in a look that was one part Sandy in the final scene of Grease, one part Chanel runway in the ’90s (although the look was actually from the brands S/S 19 collection). Not everyone can get away with skin-tight capri leggings, strappy heels, and multiple Chanel logos (BRB, need a Chanel chain belt), but if anyone can, it’s Dion. If she has you feeling inspired (and like splurging), keep scrolling to shop similar vintage Chanel pieces to pair with your next all-black look.
