Zoe Saldana Reenacts TLC’s ‘No Scrubs’ on ‘Lip Sync Battle’

While we agree that Zoe Saldana may not make the best Nina Simone, she killed it as an honorary TLC member for a night on Spike’s Lip Sync Battle, bringing out members Rozonda “Chilli” Thomas and Tionne “T-Boz” Watkins for a special throwback rendition of “No Scrubs.”

The Best of ‘Lip Sync Battle’: Cameos, Choreography and Costumes

True to the 1999 hit, Saldana performed in costume and hair emblematic of TLC’s “No Scrub” music video.

Following her brilliant performance, not to be outdone, her Star-Trek co-star, Zachary Quinto, also took us back with a hilarious lip sync rendition of Missy Elliott’s “Get Ur Freak On,” stunning  host LL Cool J and prompting an approving re-tweet from Missy herself.
