Million Dollar Baby

Baby's Bling: Click to watchPeople joke that Julia Roberts has a million dollar smile but rapper Baby literally does - and he has the bling to prove it.

TMZ was there as the Cash Money Millionaires artist had his $250,000 platinum/white gold plated and diamond encrusted grill (which means teeth in old English) replaced with a new and improved one worth $500,000.

The diamonds were designed by jeweler to the stars Chris Aire. Aire is the first designer to provide ascher cut diamonds made especially for use as a dental accessory.

The four hour procedure, performed by Beverly Hills dentist Dr. Daniel Durchslag, may seem bizarre to some, but Baby says he's just looking to "take it to another level."

And to keep his smile sparkling, don't expect to see him using Colgate anytime soon. Dr. Durchslag has concocted a special toothpaste that won't dull or scratch Baby's newly drilled family jewels.

Baby's extreme makeover should come as no surprise since he and the Cash Money Millionaires are responsible for coining the now ubiquitous term "bling bling." Which makes perfect sense since Baby says bling is his "passion" in life.

Besides the costs associated with the oral surgery and the diamonds, Baby also has an insurance policy on his new evil grin estimated at around $700K.

With a price tag like that, Baby's tooth fairy better have the last name Trump.

9. So FREAKIN stupid!!! I sure can think of better ways to spend that kind of money. What about standing on a street corner and handing out money to strangers. Or how about taking in a homeless and helping them straighten out their lives. I wish some of these big wig MONEY hungry rich people would stop and think of who feeds there bank accounts and be SMART for ONCE!!!!

13. Its called the dumbing down of America. Some of these "entertainers" are the dumbest people around. I have seen some interview on the tonight show with these young stars and they have the brains of ten year olds.... the can barely hold a conversation that makes any sense. What an utter waste of money to look like a freak.

14. Well Im sure i'll be the only person who doesn't bash Baby for such an act, which im not suprised that the majority feel as they do, ie' "thats stupid" or "how trashy is that?", but im from New Orleans and gold teeth are a part of of culture and history. Gold teeth or grills as they are called now is something that In new Orleans it is not a strange thing to see and old 75 or 80 year old woman or man with the top or their mouth in gold because it has been in our culture for years so it is more than a fashion trend or statement, and baby has had a mouth like that well before pop culture knew who baby or the cash money millionaires were in fact well befor any one knew hip hop even existed in New Olreans circa the early eighties. and as far as people bashing him saying its trashy and stupid, so is a pair of $400 jeans, and i dont see anyone calling our precious starletts (Jessica Simpson,Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan etc...) trashy or stupid or spendind hundreds of dollars on getting their little dogs beauty and spa treatments, or the countless other things that hollywood stars spend their money on that is just as if not more "stupid". and as for the person that made the comment that Baby will be broke in five years, its obvious that he knows nothing about Baby or the amount of money he is worth. and one last thing you all dont know what Baby Did for our city, becaus true charity is not done in the lime light. And you may ask how Do I know because I now have a place to call my own after Katrina Destroyed everything I owned and that was due to Baby and Cash money records. and besides that its not your mouth or your Money being spent so why have so much to say.
