(UPDATED) VIDEO VAULT: Mels talks tennis with Ellen, plays backlot doubs (or something like that)

Melanie Oudin made an appearance on the Ellen Degeneres Show today to discuss her dream run at this year's US Open. We also get to see Mini-Mels holding her first ever trophy and THOSE adidas shoes. Again.

But Ellen had a surprise for the soon-to-be 18-year old baller: a dress with the words "laugh. dance. believe" on the arse from what looks to be a collection by the talk show host. I can't tell if it's real or not but it sure looks like the dress was designed more for the "ladies that lunch" and not a teen cougar.

Anyway, they take to the studio backlot a little later to grab a hit and are joined by Queen Latifah and DJ Tony Okungbowa for some doubs.

So this is TOT but for some reason Mels keeps reminding me of a certain overlooked middle sister. You?



Check for another appearance by Mels on Conan O'Brien tonight!

UPDATE: Here's her appearance on last night's Conan. Who knew you could yell at your feet to make them move faster? Ca-razy.
