RICHIE'S ABS ARE IN GOOD NIC

Chrissy Teigen dresses as the Statue of Liberty as Nicole Richie channels Marky Mark in bizarre new Lip Sync Battle episode

Nicole goes all Channing Tatum with her Mark Wahlberg impression as host Chrissy dances while wearing the symbol of her country

NICOLE Richie and Chrissy Teigen rock Lip Sync Battle as 90s rapper Mark "Marky Mark" Wahlberg and the Statue of Liberty respectively.

The duo dressed up as one of the US show's weirdest combos to date, with Nicole gyrating "topless" like a six-pack-wielding Channing Tatum, and Chrissy wildly waving around her torch of Liberty.

In an upcoming episode, 35-year-old Nicole smashes it out of the park as she mimes to Mark Mark and the Funky Bunch's 1991 megahit Good Vibrations.

As she does so, she performs an athletic dance routine any 90s heartthrob would be proud of — even Mark Wahlberg himself, who's now better known as a po-faced Hollywood actor.

John Legend's 31-year-old wife Chrissy, meanwhile, showed off very political costume by channelling the Lady of Liberty as she danced along to the contestant's performance.

Socialite Nicole, the daughter of Lionel Richie, recently landed her first major TV comedy role.

In news-based comedy Great News, executive produced by Tina Fey, she plays plays TV anchor Portia, but the show has so far received lukewarm reviews.

It seems Mark Wahlberg's smooth transition into acting can't be replicated by everyone.

Still, it seems Nicole has given one of the most memorable Lip Sync performances since Kate Upton's sexy Britney homage.
