New episode will pit her against Emily Blunt

Jimmy Fallon’s skit Lip-Sync Battle has a life of its own now, thanks to Spike TV: the network took the idea and turned it into a full-blown show, with LL Cool J acting as host. Because each competitor gets more time to showcase their lip-syncing skills, their numbers are also more elaborate.

This week’s episode pits Oscar-winning Anne Hathaway against British actress Emily Blunt, with the first promo for the show including footage from just one of the two songs Anne picked.

It’s Miley Cyrus’ super-famous “Wrecking Ball” single, the one with the video with her riding an actual wrecking ball in a white top and knickers, and red combat boots. You see where this is going, don’t you?

Anne didn’t just lip sync the song, but from the looks of the promo, she actually recreated Miley’s entire video, or at least the riding the wrecking ball part. She also recreated Miley’s look, down to her red lipstick, her garish long fake nails and the red boots.

I can’t imagine what Emily could have come up with to beat this, and that’s saying a lot considering the promo includes less than 1 minute of footage from Anne’s number.

We’ll see this week: the episode airs on Thursday on Spike TV.
