Whiter than white teeth often seem to be a requirement when it comes to the Hollywood set. But now, after winning an Oscar for his role in "The Artist," is French star Jean Dujardin proving that celebrities can shine even if their teeth don't?
"When it comes to that million-dollar smile, Jean is looking like he's fallen a couple hundred thousand dollars short," Phillip Bloch, a stylist for the stars, tells me. "In fact, his should be pearly whites are looking more like Lindsay Lohan's gnasher's prior to her dental makeover."
Bloch isn't alone in thinking that Dujardin's smile could use an overhaul.
"For his smile, I would definitely recommend in-office whitening, Invisalign to align his teeth, then porcelain veneers," said celebrity dentist Debra Glassman, who has signed pictures from Diane Sawyer and Jennifer Hudson in her office.
Invisalign straightens the teeth with a series of clear aligners. Unlike metal braces, you can remove them to brush and floss your teeth. Both Katherine Heigl and Whoopi Goldberg reportedly used the system without anyone knowing.
"Now that [Dujardin] is successful, he is going to have a ton of new stylists, agents, managers and publicists who will want to work with him, and unfortunately they will all want to change him," InTouch news editor and "Taking New York" star Marianne Garvey tells me.
"At first they always say they won't let Hollywood change them, but they always do," she continued. "English lessons and fixing his teeth will be first on the list. Ben Affleck, Zac Effron, Nic Cage, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Nicole Kidman, Celine Dion, Miley Cyrus, Demi Moore and even Tom Cruise all have very different teeth now than they did when they first became famous. Jean will be next."

Jean Dujardin's teeth look just fine. Stop making this man over into another Hollywood plastic doll!!Thank heaven there are still handsome men out there that look natural Vive La France!!
ahetty2000: Jean Dujardin's teeth look just fine. Stop making this man
Leave him alone. Yeah, I noticed in the movie that the right side of his upper teeth are a little crooked, but he's still charming and an excellent actor. Leave him alone.
Terry_Hicks: Leave him alone. Yeah, I noticed in the movie that
Good grief - leave the guy alone! His teeth look fine. As far as I can tell, they're not yellow or gap-toothed. So many of the TV and film celebs have gone way overboard with the whitening to the extent that their clackers look like chicklets, all overly white & extremely fake looking.
annz: Good grief - leave the guy alone! His teeth look
I wonder if the writer would say the same thing to Johnny Depp with his obnoxious yellow teeth, or to Ewan McGregor about the gap in his front teeth. Steve Buscemi must drive him absolutely nuts. There's lots of American actors that would have to run to the dentist to keep this guy happy. OCD much?
MishMosh66: I wonder if the writer would say the same thing
I do love your country, I love your movies, I spend my holidays in the States, but there is something seriously wrong with the way Hollywood "fixes" people !!!!! If the only thing these so called "brainless dentists of the stars", have seen of Jean Dujardin are his teeth, I am not surprised to see how many of your actors and actresses become zombies, expressionless on the screen, all of them with blue teeth....Come on, lets get serious, there is always room for improvement, but I prefer to keep Dujardin the way he is, than to let him look like the Kardashian father, or a male Joan Rivers....
gourgandine: I do love your country, I love your movies, I
Why should he "fix" his teeth? I really don't understand this insane and inane desire for everyone to look like some "ideal." We try so hard to be an individual by getting a tattoo or painting our toenails purple yet we get our teeth whitened and aligned and cut our hair to look like Justin Bieber or Taylor Swift and we all end up looking the same. Seems to me the Hollywood dentists and stylists ought to reacquaint themselves with a bit of Dr. Seuss -- Star-bellied sneetch anyone? Diversity -- the true individuality.
AugustaHistorybuff: Why should he "fix" his teeth? I really don't understand
That stylist and dentist have spent too much time in Hollywood surrounded by people who have endless money with which to do stupid things like inject toxins into their faces and suck fat from their derriere and shove it into their lips. The rest of the world thinks he looks gorgeous the way he is. I can't believe this rates as a story. How sad.
cncrdmom: That stylist and dentist have spent too much time in
Paula Deens recent publicity caused me to take another look at her. In addition to the teeth, she has colored contact lenses and wears a wig. With all that dough rolling in though, I see her husband never stops smiling.
