TEEF

The first American Idol results show was on last Wednesday. It was a time full of nerves and confusion. Out of the promising contestants to make up the first group, only three passed successfully onto the top twelve. However, it wasn’t the talent- or lack thereof- that made a lasting impression on me; it was the surprise visit from two ex-idol wannabes. But I’m going to cut to the chase. I’m not here to write about their little black-clad reunion on the let’sdrawouttheresultsshowaslongaswecan special. I’m here to write about Carly or, more specifically, Carly’s teeth. Her once demonic smile has transformed entirely thanks to the magic of VENEERS! But this Irish lassie is not alone in her quest to achieve immaculate pearly whiteness. The majority of Hollywood seems to have fallen for this trend. Let’s see some before and after examples of dental magic at its best!

Fellow former Idol contestants, Clay Aiken and Elliot Yamin:

Elliot, I just couldn’t wait for you to fix your teeth!

Tom Cruise

Tom has got cosmetic dentistry down to a science! Scien-tology that is

Rosie O'Donnell

Get a good view of those chompers!

Chip Skylark

Why should he talk to you when he's got 32?

Miley Cyrus

Miley's smile has seen the best of both worlds!

Hilary Duff

Natural smiles are so yesterday!

But the list does not end here! Other popular Veneer wearers include: Oprah Winfrey, Brangelina, Jessica Simpson, Nick Lachey, Bon Jovi, Britney Spears and Denzel Washington. Why celebrities subject themselves to these harsh dental treatments? Maybe Oprah was trying to set an example for women everywhere. Perhaps Nick Lachey wanted to rescue what's left of his career.
The world may never know.
