Jennifer Lopez copies Rihanna for spoof

Jennifer Lopez has added impersonator to her long list of talents by imitating Rihanna on an American TV show.

Taking part in a spoof of the American charity single for Haiti, We Are The World, J-Lo wore a cropped blonde wig, a jacket with shoulder pads and a pair of black sunglasses to get the look of the Caribbean singer while appearing on Saturday Night Live.

But she was not above poking fun at herself, making a reference to her former relationship with rap star P Diddy.

She might have been relieved about the outfit which was picked for her if she knew about Rihanna's recent appearance on Alan Carr's show Chatty Man, where she donned a hair net to perform her latest hit Rude Boy.

Never shy over giving a performance, the American comedy show managed to get a few more performances out of the Maid in Manhattan actress by dressing her up as a nun in a soap opera sketch and in a dressing gown in another scene.
