Taraji P. Henson & Mary J. Blige are 'Just Fine' on Lip Sync Battle

Lip Sync Battle is the summer's guiltiest pleasure. Turns out there's nothing better than celebrities lip-synching their favorite songs with the help of props, a heaping helping of gusto and the occasional famous friend.

So when Empire's Taraji P. Henson and Terrence Howard joined perenially sexy host LL Cool J, shit was going down: basement. Noted Queen of Hip Hop Soul Mary J. Blige joined the blond, bobbed and banged Emmy-nominee on "Just Fine," simultaneously ending Terrence Howard's chances -- and life.

Howard, never one to go down without a fight, pulled out a codpiece, a mesh shirt and a split as Rick James on "Super Freak." But let's be real, it was TKO as soon as TJP showed up in that sleeveless jumpsuit -- MJB was just the icing on the cake.

Check out previews of Taraji and Terrence's perfromances on Lip Sync Batte, airing August 20 at 10pm on Spike.
