LOL! ANCESTRY.COM SAY'S ELLEN & MADONNA ARE COUSINS!

Madonna and funnygirl Ellen DeGeneres are cousins.

Say what?

According to Ancestry.com, the two are related through a common 10th great-grandfather.

"It's not every day you discover two celebrity icons are related, but it's their similarities that make the connection so extraordinary," says a genealogist for the site. "Madonna and Ellen were born the same year, have both written books and been on tour, and are known for their impressive dance moves."

Well, of course — why didn't we think of this before?
