Madonna has flaunted her new teeth grill.
The 66-year-old has been a fan of the mouth bling for 12 years, and has now once again captivated fans with her edgy – and eye-wateringly expensive – jewellery tastes by showcasing her latest addition to her collection on a TikTok video.
In a short clip set to the track ‘Hardest Ese Ever’ by rapper That Mexican OT, the pop icon lip-synced along while drawing attention to her mouth — before she pulled up her lip to show her mouth was adorned with shimmering lapis-and-diamond grills.
Madonna’s video quickly sparked a wave of reactions from fans.
Viewers weighing in on her lavish display with one user saying about the pricey-looking grill: “That definitely costs more than my car,” while another added, “Damn Madonna????? You didn’t have to stunt this hard??”
A third observer dismissed any criticism aimed at the singer, writing, “Y’all really don’t know who Madonna is. This is so her.”
The grills Madonna flaunted in the video appear to be the same ones she introduced during a 2022 appearance on ‘The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon’.
During her interview on the show, the ‘Material Girl’ singer revealed she had custom-designed the diamond-encrusted mouthpiece as a 64th birthday gift to herself.
At the time, Madonna defended her bold choice, saying: “People have a problem with my grills, I don’t know why. I just like the way it looks – it’s mouth jewellery – and I have really ugly teeth.”
Madonna’s collection of mouth jewellery isn’t limited to just the lapis-and-diamond grills.
She also owns a set crafted from real gold and adorned with 24 diamonds, which she acquired in 2013. The ‘Like a Virgin’ performer has long been known for her fearless approach to fashion, frequently turning heads with her high-end accessories.
In addition to her grills, Madonna has been seen wearing other lavish pieces, including a nearly 80-carat aquamarine stone necklace she wore while hosting her annual Oscars afterparty in February.
The necklace, which boasts 38 diamonds encircling the central aquamarine, is valued at $32,000 and has earned the name ‘Looking Glass Necklace’.

The Houston Astros know that pitcher Framber Valdez is slated to hit the free-agent market next offseason, and all along, they understood that they may not be able to re-sign him. Well, now, the Astros are probably resigned to the fact that Valdez will be leaving them next winter. The Boston Red Sox just agreed to a six-year, $170 million contract extension with Garrett Crochet, and Drew Koch of Climbing Tal’s Hill feels that Crochet’s deal mean’s “Houston’s hope of retaining Valdez is officially extinguished.” Considering that Crochet has only been a starting pitcher for one full season and just landed such a hefty contract, Valdez will surely land a megadeal, at least from an average annual value perspective. It should be noted that Valdez is 31 years old, so he probably won’t be landing a six-year pact like the 25-year-old Crochet. However, even if he only secures a three-year contract, the Astros will likely have difficulty matching the annual money. “The Astros have watched players like George Springer, Carlos Correa, and most recently Alex Bregman enter the free-agent market and never return,” added Koch. “Houston even made a somewhat competitive offer for Bregman this past offseason, but the Red Sox obliterated that after handing Bregman a three-year, $120 million deal.” Valdez broke into the big leagues with the Astros in 2018 and became a full-time starter in 2021. He earned back-to-back All-Star selections in 2022 and 2023, leading the American League with 201.1 innings pitched in the former campaign. Last year, the Dominican native went 15-7 with a 2.91 ERA, allowing 140 hits while registering 169 strikeouts over 176.1 frames. He owns a lifetime 3.28 ERA across 158 outings and 136 starts. Houston has consistently been near the top of the majors in payroll, ranking second as recently as 2023. This year, however, the Astros have dipped to ninth. It’s possible that they continue to fall in that category as more time passes.
The Denver Nuggets have been thriving under the leadership of Nikola Jokic all season, currently listed as the No. 3 team in the Western Conference standings. Denver is 47-29 on the season, having recently suffered a loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves where Jokic posted some of the best numbers of his career. Jokic finished the game with 61 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists; the only 60-point triple-double with a loss in NBA history. Following their matchup against the Timberwolves, the Nuggets are set to play in the second night of a back-to-back, hosting the San Antonio Spurs at Ball Arena. As the Nuggets prepare for the postseason, the health of Jokic is of all-time importance. He has been ruled out for the game against the Spurs due to an ankle injury, per RotoWire. While the severity of the injury is unknown, it's a tough blow for Denver, who will need their MVP-caliber player for a playoff push. So far this season, Jokic has averaged 29.7 points, 12.8 rebounds and 10.2 assists per game, the only player in the NBA to be ranked in the top three in all major statistical categories. He's currently vying for his fourth MVP award, which would put the Nuggets center in a prestigious list with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Michael Jordan, Bill Russell, LeBron James and Wilt Chamberlain as the only players to ever do so. Jokic will have an opportunity to return to the lineup when the Nuggets face the Golden State Warriors on Friday at 10 p.m. ET.
The talent-drain from the San Francisco 49ers has been stark this offseason. Star defenders like linebacker Dre Greenlaw and safety Talanoa Hufanga both departed via free agency, as did emerging star running back Jordan Mason, and Pro Bowl wide receiver Deebo Samuel was shipped off via trade to the Washington Commanders amid a significant purge from the roster this spring. San Francisco’s high profile departures come just as the 49ers are set to make Brock Purdy one of the highest-paid quarterbacks in the league, which could prove to be a daunting challenge to build a roster capable of pushing for championships around him with so many star-caliber players on the move. Did San Francisco 49ers’ Talent Purge Have to do With Brock Purdy Extension? While some of the players leaving San Francisco can be justified by age, or uncertainty over their recent injuries and remaining upside, it’s difficult to ignore the impending commitment to Purdy’s and the role it played in some of the 49ers’ decisions in recent weeks. Turns out, preparing to pay Purdy factored into some of the decisions the 49ers have made, so far. Some fans have even called 49ers owner Jed York cheap, but, York admitted that Purdy’s looming extension factored into the posture San Francisco has taken this offseason. “I’ve been called worse,” York told reporters at the NFL Annual Meeting. “I get it. Fans care. You want to win. And when you’re in a world where everybody is watching the NFL the first week of free agency or at least the first few days of free agency, it’s a frenzy. … When you’re not overly active in that space, it gets easy to say, ‘Oh, you don’t want to win.’ … I don’t know that, as we looked at the board, that there was somebody that we felt made that type of an impact more so than making the decision to try to go pay Brock.” Purdy and the 49ers took a step back in 2024 as injuries ravaged both sides of the ball, but San Francisco is just a year removed from a Super Bowl appearance and have reached the NFC Championship Game in two of the past three seasons. Paying Purdy won’t be cheap, as even if the 49ers make Purdy the fifth-highest-paid quarterback, he’d likely collect somewhere in the area of $280 million, or more. But, the 49ers believe that Purdy is among the top-10 quarterbacks in the league, entering 2025. “I think he is,” York said. “I think he’s great. Especially when you combine him with [coach] Kyle [Shanahan] and you combine him with what we have, and he’s a heck of a quarterback. And we want him to be here for a long, long time.”
Damian Lillard appears to be making some rather remarkable progress from his blood-clotting issue. Shams Charania of ESPN shared a big update on Wednesday about the Milwaukee Bucks star Lillard. While he was appearing on “The Pat McAfee Show,” Charania reported that Lillard’s blood clot is diminishing and that the nine-time All-Star is hopeful to be cleared for full contact within the next week or week-and-a-half. Additionally, Charania noted that Lillard’s treatment began early, even before he received a formal diagnosis, and that doctors are encouraged by Lillard’s progress. Here is the full video: The news surfaced just over a week ago that Lillard, 34, had been diagnosed with deep vein thrombosis in his right calf. Lillard was said at the time to be on blood thinners, which had managed to stabilize the clot. Blood clots are obviously a concerning and potentially career-threatening issue, so many were expecting Lillard to possibly be out for the rest of the season when the news first emerged. But somewhat improbably, Charania’s report makes it sound like Lillard might just be back in the lineup for Milwaukee at some point in the postseason. The Bucks, who end the regular season in just over one week on April 13, are currently No. 6 in the East at 41-34. Lillard last played on March 18, and Milwaukee has gone just 3-4 since then. While Lillard does have his longer-term future to think about, especially given the troubling history of blood-clotting issues in the NBA, he may be close to getting the green light from doctors to return to the court.
