From Hollywood, it's Jimmy Kimmel live.

Jewel, the singer Jewel was supposed to be on the competition diner. Unfortunately, she got hurt, so she had to settle for singing instead of dancing which is a shame not only for her, but for her charitable foundation. Jewel, you know, is very involved with the group that teaches young women and men that we all have physical imperfections and that you should never ever be ashamed of them.

Did you know that 78% of American women are unhappy with the way they look? Hi, I'm Jewel, now 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 snaggletooth is uniquely beautiful, it also comes in handy. It can open bottles, here you go, cans of soup, and even pesky bike locks. Free bike from the tooth freak. But my mangled chompers are more than just a party trick. This mouth has saved lives.

Oh, my God, oh, my God, accident. Oh, my God, oh, my God, car. Oh, my God, accident. Oh, my God, it’s the singer-songwriter Jewel, will you save me?

You bet your ass. I will.

Oh, my God, Jewel. Thank you.

Gotcha. Thanks, Sweet cheeks. So don't look in the mirror and see your flaws, look in the mirror and see its solution.

Excuse me. Are you Jewel?

Just be proud of who you are, I am…Kirsten Dunst.
