Drew Barrymore pierces her tongue

Drew Barrymore has an extra hole, but in a good way: in her tongue.

The actress talked to Ellen DeGeneres about the experience, explaining that it didn’t hurt much at first but the pain intensified, and that she couldn’t eat or drink for two week, making for a “sick, sadistic and weird diet.”

Despite the obvious benefits, Drew claims that the ring is scaring away men: “I got it and then I’ve been single ever since. I did it for myself. I always wanted to get one.”
