Don't count Kanye West as an official member of the ill grill club.

His new chompers are all real - and permanent.

After tweeting a picture in July that showed the hip-hop artist had a mouth full of bling, West explained on the "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" Tuesday that he actually had gold and diamonds inserted to replace his bottom of row of teeth because he "just thought the diamonds were cooler."

"I just like diamond teeth and I didn't feel like having to take them out all the time," West said.

"You've ripped all those teeth out and put in that?" Ellen asked.

"I just thought the diamonds were cooler," he replied. "There's just certain stuff that rock stars are supposed to do."

"You can't floss," Ellen quipped. "Wow, so now you just get food stuck in your diamonds!".

Daily News photo of his new smile is Getty Images so I can't post it.

Reading elsewhere it is reported the teeth cost $60,000. But in his defense you never know when you might have to bite through glass.

At least the guy will have an easy money supply once the FED inflates the dollar to toilet paper value.

You get a clear picture of just how low American society has sunk when you look at the ‘celebrities’ it reveres.

I bet that's something he didn't think of.

Sadly, some lowlife street punk(s) will eventually take him out to get that gold and diamonds.

Somewhere there’s a mortician who is stocking up on composite leaf and similarly sized cubic zirconia.

If someone ever punches him in the mouth and he swallows a diamond, he’d better head for a surgeon pronto!

Not knowing anything about this classless, materialistic egotist, is he one of those wrappers that made his cash by attacking the “evils” of Western civ, like greedy corporations and greedy whites and greedy plastic consumerism?
