Things got a little personal last night when Anne Hathaway and James Corden had a rap battle on The Late Late Show.

Battling it out in an epic hip-hop challenge, the duo took turns to grab the mic and throw shade at their opponent.
James, 37, began the segment by dissing her performance as Catwoman in Batman blockbuster The Dark Knight Rises as inferior to Halle Berry’s in 2004’s standalone Catwoman film.
Hathaway – clad in an all-black ensemble teamed with a baseball hat cocked to the side – hit back at the British TV personality by firing off a slew of insults (made in jest, of course!). This one-time Oscar champ (“Les Miserables”) recently won “Lip Sync Battle” and now proves her own singing voice sizzles.
After that Hathaway kicked off her shoes and went for the jugular. She spit-off line after line about how nobody has heard of James Corden, how bad his ratings are and finishes with, “I’m like your wife: I watch Seth Meyers instead”.

And Corden did. He blasted her movie “Get Smart” for being a flop, dissed her terrible British accent in “One Day”, doubted she’d ever be asked to host the Oscars again, and attacked her in the Catwoman role. “I was hated and shaded, but now I’ve been liberated”, she rapped. As she told Corden before dropping the mic, “Son, now you know how it feels to get Hatha-slayed”.
