Jennifer Lopez and James Corden text Leonardo DiCaprio during ‘Carpool Karaoke’ -- and he responds
Jennifer Lopez has a celebrity-loaded phone and James Corden thinks it’s the best thing ever, especially when someone like Leonardo DiCaprio responds to prank text messages.
The “American Idol†judge joined the “Late Late Show†host, who dubbed himself JCo, for the premiere of his “Carpool Karaoke†primetime special on Tuesday and the duo sang plenty of JLo’s hits, including “Love Don’t Cost a Thing,†“Jenny from the Block,†“On the Floor†and several others.

“Who’s the most famous person you’ve got in your phone?†Corden asked around the 9 1/2-minute mark.
“I don’t know. There’s a few. I’m not gonna say,†she said as she scrolled through her address book as Corden peeks over her shoulder. (Honestly, how does the man not get into an accident during these things?)
Lopez goes on to list Bradley Cooper, Chris Brown, Christian Louboutin, Cristiano Ronaldo, Demi Lovato, Dwayne Johnson, Fergie and Iggy Azalea. And, using first names, that’s just at the beginning of the alphabet.

“I’m going to text Leonardo DiCaprio,†Corden said as he typed the message while Lopez tried to stop him. Well, at least he pulled over for this part.
“Hey Leo,†he started before the singer-actress corrected his salutation. “Hey baby, I’m kind of feeling like I need to cut loose. Any suggestions. Let me know. JLo. [You know, from the block]â€
He sent the message and much to their surprise, the Oscar winner responded.
“He wrote back!†Lopez exclaimed, laughing. “He said, ‘You mean tonight boo-boo, clubwise?’†Here’s the funny part, is that he actually thinks I’m serious. He thinks this is me! ... I guess I’m going out. Probably not, I’ll be home cooking with my kids!â€
Which is too bad because we’re totally shipping LoCaprio!
Also during the ride, Lopez reveals that she never insured her iconic derriere, she’s been proposed to five times (but married only three) and demonstrates how to touch your face for a music video.
