Bling Bling! Kanye West Has Diamonds on His Teeth

Kanye West has a new short film ‘Runaway’ out and a new look. The rapper had his bottom teeth removed and replaced with diamonds. “I just thought the diamonds were cooler,” Kanye told Ellen DeGenerous on her show last week. “There’s just certain stuff that rock stars are supposed to do.”

Um-sounds very hip and we love everything diamonds, but is this completely unhealthy?

The Los Angeles Times was told by a California dentist that “Chewing is going to be a bit of a challenge. No peanut butter brittle, no opening a can of beer with your teeth. It’s going to affect his jaw also because … the weight of the diamond is greater than a normal tooth structure. If he doesn’t have anything on the top [row], it will wear the top part of the teeth faster. In five to seven to 10 years, he’ll have damage on his upper teeth.”

Is this cool or way over the top?
