As rap groups go, they are certainly unique.
Chatshow host Ellen DeGeneres and comic actress Rebel Wilson have formed a new group - RebEllen - which they launched with a rap about watching cat videos online.
In a comic skit for Ellen's show the Bridesmaids actress, 28, and the Oscar host, 56, unveiled their rapping alter egos to the enthusiastic audience - the aptly named duo, Rebellen.

'By popular demand we formed a rap duo called Rebellen - get it? - and our first album is dropping today,' said Ellen.
'It's called White Ladies Rapping. I thought I should have a release party right now,.'

To loud cheers Rebel stepped out onto the stage with a swagger, rocking a bedazzled black Adidas track suit with her pseudonym Reb encrypted upon the back.

The Super Fun Night star  brought out a matching track suit with her cohort's name bolded imprinted upon the back in the same fashionable gold as her own.
To finish off the look, DeGeneres smugly pulled out a large, multi-fingered ring with the word Deezy boldly etched into the ring.
'Let me put my ring back on, cause you got this for me, didn't you? Deezy.' DeGeneres said, showing off her bold, bedazzled piece of jewelry.

Matching! The blonde duo showed off their matching black-and-gold track suit

While standing in front of a large tapestry of the two posing together in styles reminiscent of 1980's hip hop, the blonde rapping duos listed off their favorite tracks from their yet-to-be released album.
'Baby Got Backfat,' Rebel rattled off with a smile as the audience roared with laughter.
'One of my favorites is Booty Slap for Africa,' The ABC star said as she proudly began to slap her own bum.
'There's that one, One In The Hand Is Worth Two In The Bush. That's our more romantic kind of ballad.'

Thug life: Rebellen rapped about staying in on nights

Ellen then joined in the fun.
'The song that's really blowing up the charts though, when it gets to the charts it will blow up, is Watching Cats on the Internet,' she said.
Rebel then added: 'I mean, I heard it's already been downloaded like, five times.
'Do you guys want to hear it?'
Set to the deep beat of a gangster rap, Wilson started off the rap with lyrics that matched the toughness of the rhythm.
'Kitty cat, kitty cat, kitty cat, kitty cat,' Rebel rapped into the microphone. 'It's a Saturday night and I'm feeling alright... tonight I'd rather be watching cats on the Internet.'

What a great time: Rebellen announced plans to drop their latest album soon
