Performers have mishaps, but the kind Jennifer Lopez had was certainly more than a simple "mishap," as it ended up with her being a bit miffed.
In a new episode of The Jennifer Hudson Show, Dancing with the Stars judge Derek Hough, a close friend of JLo's, recalled an incident that took place years ago involving the Hustlers actress.
The 38-year-old pro dancer reminisced with the talk show host about his friendship with Jennifer when she asked him about his penchant for dipping as a dancer.
"One time actually I went salsa dancing with Jennifer Lopez," he recalled. "And we're dancing. We're having a good night, we're sweating, the live band's playing, it's steamy, it's going great, this is several years ago."
It all took a turn for the worse, however, when he decided to dip the now 54-year-old entertainer. "And I dip her…and I step on her hair.
"And I pull her back up…but her hair didn't come back up," he uncomfortably revealed, leaving the audience groaning and the former American Idol contestant delivering a resounding "Ooooooh!"
But Derek added that JLo, as professional as ever, didn't miss a single beat and continued dancing, which left the host in stitches.
He continued: "I had no idea what happened, and then later in the night, she goes 'Derek, do you know what you did?' I was like 'Show you the time of your life.'

"She says 'No, you pulled out my hair.' And she has a big chunk of it, and I go 'I'm so sorry!'" Although it all ended well when she called him the next day and said: "Hey, do you want to do a project with me?" and he joked: "Fantastic, because I thought our friendship was over."

"Her MO is hustle, right? It's like, 'Make sure you hustle. Make sure you keep people out there seeing the show and you're working.' She's great. She goes hard in her show. She goes hard in everything."
