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.
