Ellen DeGeneres Hilariously Channels Her Inner Jennifer Lopez

Ellen DeGeneres recently visited friend Jennifer Lopez at Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas.

Ellen and Jennifer hung out backstage at the AXIS Theatre, and Ellen even scored herself VIP table seats to see J.Lo LIVE during her All I Have residency show, but of course, Ellen wanted MORE!

By more, I mean becoming Jennifer’s understudy, wanting a personal shout-out from Jennifer while performing AND Ellen stole … or at least tried stealing Jennifer’s furniture.

The hilarious part: When Ellen walked into Jennifer’s dressing room wearing the very famous emerald Versace gown Jennifer wore to the GRAMMYs in 2000, trying to convince Jennifer that she was there to act as her understudy.

Jennifer tells Ellen, “There are no understudies in these type of shows.  It’s called Jennifer Lopez: All I Have, so it’s hard for it to be, like, ‘Jennifer Lopez: But It’s Not Jennifer Lopez — It’s Ellen.”

Ellen was so NOT buying Jennifer’s reason so she tried making herself feel more at home by moving the furniture around and deciding what goes and what stays.  They even did funny vocal warm-ups together and when Ellen left, so did a chair and a bouquet of flowers.

And when it came to Ellen wanting a shout-out – she told Jennifer to refer her to ‘Lil Ellen’ rather than ‘Ellen’ … in case there were other audience members by the same name.  Ellen got her shoutout AND a glittery New York Yankees hat.
