From the "WHAT THE HECK WAS SHE THINKING FILE:
Pop star Monica has diamond-bright smile
We can only hope those teeth-whitening joints begin offering this as an additional service as soon as possible. Atlanta pop star Monica has had diamonds implanted in two of her teeth.
It seems that the 22-year-old R&B singer had diamonds placed on her lower teeth a couple of years ago. In a world full of rappers with mouths gleaming with gold and/or platinum teeth, adding diamonds to your smile is still well, weird. Monica doesn't think it's a big deal.
''People up here [in New York] don't wear gold teeth, platinum teeth and all that stuff as much as we do in the South,'' she says. ''It's kind of like our own thing that we do. But instead of me getting a gold tooth or platinum tooth, I just got a diamond tooth, because that's what I like.''
The singer's third album, ''After the Storm,'' debuted at No. 1 when it was released last month.
Now I am going to be looking in her mouth next time I see her sing.
