JEWEL POKES FUN AT 'TOOTH FREAK' IMAGE

JEWEL poked fun at her own image on late-night TV in America on Tuesday (17Mar09) as part of a skit about her uneven teeth.
The singer/songwriter agreed to front a fake campaign ad on the Jimmy Kimmel Live! show, aimed at women unhappy with the way they look.
She said, "People are always asking me why don't I get my teeth fixed? Well, I'm proud of my flaws - and you should be too.
"Not only do I think my horrible, snaggle tooth is uniquely beautiful, it also comes in handy."
She then set about everyday tasks, using her tooth as a tool.
She joked, "It can open bottles... cans of soup and even pesky bike locks."
Calling herself "the tooth freak", the pop star added, "My mangled chompers are more than just a party trick - this mouth has saved lives."
She then pretended to save a motorist in a crashed car by using her tooth to cut a door off - then knocked the driver out and stole her car radio.
