Ellen DeGeneres knows the hype surrounding hotly anticipated movie "Fifty Shades of Grey" and has used it to draw attention to her show. The comedian spoofed the upcoming film in the Tuesday, November 25 episode of "The Ellen DeGeneres Show".

The talk show host claimed she's actually cast in the erotic film instead of Dakota Johnson "because no one knows their way around a whip more than me." She then played the movie's trailer featuring her wearing a long wig to channel Anastasia Steele.

It opens with a scene where Steele and Christian Grey meet for the first time in his office. Asked by the kinky billionaire what she's thinking, she replies, "Well, I was just thinking about how fun it is to get pears around Christmas time and how each one of 'em is individually wrapped in foil and how beautiful they are, like a little present. Can you imagine if all fruit was like that? I mean, cherries or blueberries or raspberries? Each one of 'em you'd have to unwrap, but it would be a present."

In the next scene, DeGeneres appears, covering her nude body with a blanket, while Grey plays the piano. She then sings Hall & Oates' "Maneater". When Grey shows her the room of pain, she responds, "Oh, hell no!"

The "Fifty Shades of Grey" movie, based on E.L. James' novel of the same title, follows innocent college student Steele, who enters an S&M relationship with Grey. Jamie Dornan takes the male lead role. The Sam Taylor-Wood-directed drama will hit theaters across the nation on February 13, 2015.
