Watch Psy Teach Britney Spears Gangnam Style On Ellen

With The X Factor set to premiere on Fox tomorrow night, judges Simon Cowell and Britney visited The Ellen DeGeneres Show yesterday, during which Britney Spears was treated to a dance lesson from YouTube celebrity Psy, who taught her "Gangnam Style."

Cowell and Spears were guests on Ellen yesterday, and while Cowell was dressed in his usual casual attire (snug-fitting v-neck t-shirt and jeans), Spears to be going for more of a reserved kind of look, with her hair tied back in a neat bun and a red dress.

Kelly put her life-long love of movies, TV and books to greater use when she joined CinemaBlend as a freelance TV news writer in 2006, and went on to serve as the site’s TV Editor before joining the staff full-time in 2011 and moving over to other roles at the site. At present, she’s an Assistant Managing Editor who spends much of her time brainstorming and editing features, analyzing site data, working with writers and editors on content planning and the workflow, and (of course) continuing to obsess over the best movies and TV shows (those that already exist, and the many on the way). She graduated from SUNY Cortland with BA in Communication Studies and a minor in Cinema Studies. When she isn't working, she's probably thinking about work, or reading (or listening to a book), and making sure her cats are living their absolute best feline lives.
