Drew Barrymore's Tongue Piercing Diet

Drew Barrymore got a tongue piercing, and it was a great diet.

Barrymore, busy promoting "He's Just Not That Into You," got it pierced last summer but finally showed it off on a red carpet.

She said it didn't hurt when she first got it done, but the discomfort kicked in soon after:

The guy was like, 'What I didn't tell you is that for, like, two weeks, it's just going to be a little uncomfortable.

"I couldn't eat, couldn't drink for two weeks -- great diet in a weird way."

Barrymore now loves her tongue bling -- even though she fears it scares the guys away: "I got it and then I've been single ever since. ... I did it for myself. I always wanted to get one."

See the tongue jewelry at this week's premiere:

That's just ridiculous. She obviously did it for herself. And it's not like you'd ever even get the chance to kiss Drew Barrymore, so what the hell are you worried about? If you don't like it, that's fine. Don't judge something you've never had, and can't understand. I think it's fine. I'm a fan of tongue rings myself, considering I have one. Btw, if you're so afraid to kiss someone with a tongue piercing, then let them give you head, I'm sure that'll change your mind. Pfffftt

Wow, this is nearly as lame as 90% of Daily Beast....Z­zzzzzZzzzz­ZzzzzzZzzz­z.....

Tongue piercing is stupid and dangerous. There have medical studies of deaths from brain infections, where the bacteria that caused the death is a type that could only be found in the tongue. The piercing unleashed the bacteria into the bloodstream and caused the infection. Add to the the damage to teeth that frequently occurs...i­t's just a very stupid thing to do.

That isn't even trendy anymore. And it's really horrible for your teeth. Not classy Drew.

Drew has been clean and sober for years. She is a very talented producer and is involved in many different things. She is always cheerful and kind to all around her. She has a very positive energy. I would not get a tongue piercing, but know many very stable people who do have them. Just because it is not something you like does not mean it makes someone that has one an awful person. There are some pretty judgemental and rude people on this board that have obviously not followed Drew's career for quite a few years now. She is attractive, always tastefully dressed and bubbly.

and tongue piercings are still gross.

Oooop! My mistake. I thought she had finally gained some class.... but I was wrong.

There is something seriously wrong with people who need to pierce their tongue....­.. and considering her past, well, I'm not surprised.

I find it gross, but to each his or her own

[helgathewitch]

Just lost a lot of respect for her.

What next Drew?

I know, how about a nice lip plate to go with the tongue hole?

And the big holes in the ear lobes! She could get really fancy plugs or perhaps develop some kind of sex act for small men.

Guys are frightened by that? What kind of guys?



Guys who don't like to received oral "favors" from attractive women, that's who.

Hello FRISCO!!!!

Does Drew still drink? I thought she was a recovering drunk?

[huzzah]

Drinking in this context means any liquid. Including water.

Also, beer is a no-no with a fresh tongue piercing.

Learn to lisp in one easy lesson.

She looks good to me and shes a straight shooter who has triumphed over an amazzingly dissfuntional childhood, so good for her and its her tongue.
