Watch out, world. The locals are going rogue.
While filming a segment for “The Ellen DeGeneres Show,” Louisiana natives Ellen DeGeneres and Britney Spears teamed up to terrorize a Los Angeles mall on a celebrity rampage.
The famous duo took to Westfield Fashion Square mall in Los Angeles to flaunt their lavish lifestyles. Spears appeared on the Sept. 7 episode of DeGeneres’ show to promote her new album, “Glory.”
This is Spears’ ninth studio album, which she has been working on since 2014. Released Aug. 26, the album debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 chart.
Her last No. 1 hit, “Hold It Against Me,” was released in 2011. These days, she has been aggressively promoting herself on various media outlets — “Today,” “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” and “The Late Late Show with James Corden” Carpool
Karaoke segment.
Spears also performed “Make Me,” a track from “Glory,” at this year’s MTV Video Music Awards after an almost 10-year absence.
In a video teaser released by “The Ellen DeGeneres Show,” DeGeneres and Spears strut around the mall, deciding they can do whatever they want because they’re famous. DeGeneres even encourages Spears to run a stop sign because, “Who cares?”
In the show’s segment, Spears admires a black purse and DeGeneres urges her to take it. DeGeneres then reassures a seemingly nervous employee of Spears’ rights to the purse by saying, “She’s a celebrity; it’s okay.”
Spears and DeGeneres also dine inside the mall. When a fellow shopper begins snapping photos, DeGeneres says she and Spears are being treated like “zoo animals” and then roars at the woman for taking pictures of them.
Justified by their celebrity status, the two add to their shenanigans by demanding a 100 percent discount, going up the down escalators and discouraging young people from attending college.
“We like to start people early to understand what is important in life, and that is money and celebrities,” DeGeneres said in the video segment.
Of course, this is all in good fun. Though known for testing the boundaries, DeGeneres never pushes the envelope. Just outrageous enough, the segment cleverly garners significant attention for Spears and her comeback with “Glory.”
However, this isn’t the first headline the two have made lately. Both DeGeneres and Spears have been standing in support with their home state after the recent flooding.
Born and raised in Metairie, Louisiana, DeGeneres spread her message of support across various social media platforms, urging her fans and followers to donate through the
American Red Cross.
Hailing from Kentwood, Louisiana, Spears also encouraged people to donate through the American Red Cross and CrowdRise. She auctioned off her VMA’s outfit and a chance to attend the show
with her.
Throughout their careers, both celebrities have offered support for their home state. The latest episode of DeGeneres’ show is no
exception.
