In one of the bizarre TV spectacles seen so far in 2015, Patti LaBelle danced to 50 Cent's 'In Da Club' on Dancing With The Stars. Watch it below.
An export of the BBC's hugely successful Strictly Come Dancing, Dancing With The Stars is currently in its twentieth season. One suspects however that it has never witnessed something as striking as a Seventies soul singer getting down to Curtis Jackson's anniversary anthem. The fact that Labelle - still best known for 'Lady Marmalade' - complains about a busted knee, says 'The only thing that will stop Patti is Patti' and satrises bottle service only makes the performance even better.

TV judges Len Goodman and Bruno Tonioli have been brought over to the US version of Strictly, with Bruno saying of Patti's routine: 'Oh, VIP is the only way to be. And I know a queen bee when I see one. So kooky. So Empire. Absolutely hot.'
Arguably even enthusiastic was 50 Cent's approval of Patti's routine. He tweeted:
