Dancing With the Stars' 17th season officially kicked off Monday night with 12 celebrity dancers, but one star who isn't even competing stole the spotlight in the ballroom!
Jennifer Lopez made a surprise appearance on the ABC reality hit's opening night along with beau Casper Smart to support her BFF Leah Remini, who scored a solid 21 points from the judges and even made Lopez shed a tear!
E! News chatted with Remini backstage after the show to find out what Lopez said to her, while Snooki, Elizabeth Berkley and more dish on dancing in front of the superstar. Plus, early frontrunner Amber Riley talks about receiving support from her Glee cast members and Jack Osbourne tells us what father Ozzy Osbourne thinks of his son competing on DWTS!
"She thought I did great!" Remini says of what Lopez told her after the show. "She gave it her all and I couldn't be more proud of her," Lopez tweeted post-performance.
But Remini wasn't the only celeb dancer excited to see Lopez in the audience. "I've known Casper for a while now and I didn't even know they were going to be here, so that was really cool," Riley says of the American Idol judge's appearance, while Corbin Bleu gushes, "That's so cool and she's gorgeous! She's fly!" Snooki was even more thrilled over Lopez's appearance, saying, "Who can say they danced in front of J.Lo?! I love her, she's amazing! She's supporting everybody, so it's cool!"
And while Lopez is a skilled dancer, her presence didn't make Berkley nervous. "I know her, so it didn't make me as nervous. I respect her as a dancer for sure and she's worked hard for a lot of years, so she's definitely someone I respect," the Saved By the Bell star tells us.

The Amber girl from Glee must be a ringer if she knows Casper. She scored three 9s in the first show.
