Miley Cyrus joked she "kissed a girl" as preparation for standing in for Ellen DeGeneres.
The 23-year-old actress stepped in to front the 58-year-old presenter's daytime talk show after she fell ill and joked she had tried to be as much like the comic - who is married to Portiadi Rossi - as possible in preparation for the gig.
"I'm dressed like her, I smell like her, [and] just before I came out here I actually kissed a girl!"
The Wrecking Ball hitmaker - who describes herself as pansexual and is in a relationship with Liam Hemsworth - went on to joke she'd given Ellen the drug ecstasy, which is nicknamed Molly, to help cure her ailments.
She said: "Don't worry you guys Ellen will be fine, but she just isn't feeling well so she's asked me to fill in and of course, I said yes for my girl Ellen. And I gave her a bunch of Molly to make her feel better. It's working."
Miley was thankful the cheering crowd made her feel welcome because the outrageous star had felt "nervous" about stepping in.
