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.
