Gap Toothed Wonders
Sometimes I wonder why certain celebrities don’t bother with getting their teeth fixed. With all the money and free time that they have you would think a trip to the dentist would be in order to get their ugly teeth squared away. Are these people that afraid of dentists? I like watching David letterman once in a while and everytime the camera goes in for a close up on his late show I do a double take thinking he has a huge hunk of spinach caught between his front teeth.
There’s really no excuse for going around looking like that Dave, they make clear plastic braces these days and you can easily take them out and you could wear them during the show’s off season. Get them choppers fixed dude!
Another one with an apparent dental phobia is Eddie Murphy. Damn Eddie, you can drive a small truck thru that huge gap in your teeth. Sure it would take some mighty powerful braces to pull them suckers in line but it would be well worth it in the long run. Go to a freekin’ dentist man, run now!
This last one is the one that bugs me the most I think. I’ve never thought that Madonna was all that attractive to start with, and she can use all the help she can get in my opinion. Maybe she thinks the gap toothed look is her trademark, since she is rather non-descript in her appearance, maybe she’s afraid that no one would recognize her anymore if she got those front teeth back in line.
I don’t think that’s a good enough excuse though, I think she needs to haul her ass down to the nearest dentist and get some nice big braces slapped on her chiclets. I’m sure it would be a whole lot easier eating corn on the cob too! What do you guys think?

You would think with all that money, but, hey, if it doesn’t bother them, what the hell! Besides they don’t have to worry about popcorn getting caught in there!
I had a small gap in my front teeth growing up, it bothered me a little, but it was sure great to spit water through. LOL As I grew older, the teeth moved together.
I don’t know why they don’t get it fixed either, I wonder if it’s part of their trademark or image. They must be comfortable with who they are. ??
Have a great day. *HUGS*
Two words to answer the question:
Jennifer Grey
Pre-nose job: Great career, much money, easily recognized.
Post-nose job: Jennifer WHO?
LMAO @ Serra’s comment!
I’m not a big fan of that gap toothed thingy. NOT sexy. Kinda *redneck if you ask me.
*Not that there is anything WRONG with that
Even if I just got mine stuffed with fluff, something would be better than sporting the gap. LOL!
Lois Lane
I think Dave’s cute. And Lauren Hutton is one sexy broad. I guess gaps in teeth don’t bug me, but if they did, I’d be all over Alfred E. Newman gettin’ some railroad tracks!
Well, it has become Letterman’s trademark. As for Madonna, she really does keep spinach stored there, so no braces will ever fix that.
Makes me want to stick a pencil or some other object in their mouths just to see how wide the gap REALLY is.
*peaking around the corner*

Helllooooooo!!!
*hugs and poinks*
I like Dave’s but I have to agree on Eddie and Madonna.
I think a gap is sexy myself, but I am a little strange… although I’m not fond of Madonna’s.
I married a gap-toothed man. I stopped asking why he didn’t get it fixed some time ago because I could never comprehend the answer.
I grew up with a gap between my front teeth because my family couldn’t afford braces. I hated it. Luckily, the space closed on it’s own as I got older. Oddly enough though, I don’t mind it on other people as long as it isn’t so wide that it looks like a missing tooth. It adds character. I agree with the earlier comment about Jennifer Grey.
BLEH! Madonna is the worst if you ask me!
I’ve got pretty good teeth, but if I had millions of dollars floating around, I can still think of a few thinks I’d have improved!!!
Well maybe it’s good for comedians to be funny looking. As for Madonna, if I were her, yeah I’d get it fixed, although my dentist did tell me that often teeth move towards the front as you age. Anyway, in this day and age of fake everything, I guess it doesn’t bother me if someone chooses to go with what God and nature gave them and be satisfied with that.
My mom always bitched about the same thing – especially Letterman.
I could care less… but yeah, if I had a gap, and money, I’d be making an appointment for teeth like Jessica Simpson’s!
When I’m rich and famous, I’ll get my teeth straightened out just for you Se7. Well, by then you probably won’t know who I am
There’s a special word for that gap but I can’t think of the word right now.
You would think with all that money they could afford decent dental!
You know we have a radiographic sign called the Terry Thomas sign or the David Letterman sign. You see it when 2 bones in the wrist (scaphoid and lunate) are separated creating a gap.
Now, I get to add 2 more names to that list.
I have a friend with a big gap in her front teeth, whose husband has the identical gap; I joke with her that they look like a pair of vending machines, lol.
The gap tooth is actually a weapon. They shoot water through the gap, like a built in squirt gun. Really cuts down on the paparazi.
Well, as I recall in reading Chaucer’s Talles of Canterbury, it was a common belief in the Middle Ages that “gat-toothed” individuals (their language, not a typo!) had the sign of sexual prowess and ability…so maybe THAT’s why they don’t get it fixed…
They should go to the dentist!
