AUSTIN POWERS NEEDS $20 GRAND OF DENTAL SURGERY

PHILADELPHIA (Wireless Flash) -- The new Austin Powers flick, "The Spy Who Shagged Me", revolves around a search for the spy's missing libido -- but he might want to start by looking at his teeth. According to Philadelphia periodontist Dr. Robert Levine, Powers' cheesy-looking choppers may be the real reason why the super-spy has no libido -- or "mojo" as Austin likes to call it. According to Levine, Powers obviously suffers from serious periodontal disease, which can put a person at an increased risk of stroke and heart disease -- problems often associated with impotence. The doctor says it's likely that Austin Powers has such terrible breath, that nobody would want to smooch him -- even if he had a healthy libido. In fact, Austin's teeth are such a wreck that Levine figures it would cost at least $20,000 in periodontal surgery and cosmetic dentistry to get them back in "biting shape."
