Ellen DeGeneres versus Paula Abdul?

Ellen DeGeneres is a famously funny lady, but she was the punch line when Paula Abdul imitated her during the "VH1 Divas" concert.

All in good humor, Abdul sported Ellen's signature outfit -- a blazer with trousers and sneakers -- in a spoof during her hosting gig of the music special.

The talk show host took it all in stride, replying via her Twitter account.

"Paula, you’re hilarious," Ellen writes on the micro-blog site. "You’ve left me some big shoes to fill…unfortunately I don’t wear high heels. Nothing but love for you too."

  • Paula And Ellen are very talented but i don't think ellen was the right choice replacing Paula I mean what does Ellen Know about music? She is the host of her talk show Ellen and shouldn't be anything else Paula was there from the start and i guess...

  • it is a shame when we as Human beings that are suppose to be leading our lives according to Gods words would glorify a homosexuality by putting her on TV let alone a top show like idol for the rest of the world to see what we are about.

  • Ellen will probably add many laughs to the show, but does not have the expertiz that Paula has.
    Shanme on Idol for not appreciating the worth of Paula.

  • Paula will be very much missed on Idol. Think simon will go after this season, and do a new show with Paula. So good luck Ellen, you will need it.

  • I don't think that there is any comparison-Paula is the true american idol judge not Kara and definately not Ellen. Ellen I wouldn't quit my day job if I were you!

  • I think Paula's intent was done in good taste and was meant to be away of saying she has moved on in a funny kind of way not as a jab to Ellen.

  • Paula's dance was in poor taste. She walked away from the job and they offered it to Ellen, as the saying goes "you snooze you lose". Grow up Paula and get a life.
