Field Tested: Celebrity Cameos (Pt. 3)

Kanye West - "Touch the Sky" feat. Pamela Anderson In-between marriages, model-cum-actress Pamela Anderson cameos as Kanye West's girlfriend in the video that warranted a lawsuit. While West paid homage to stunt cyclist Evel Knievel, as the rapping and death-defying "Kanyevil," the aging daredevil didn't interpret this homage as a compliment. Like Kanye cares what anyone else thinks anyway.



Jennifer Lopez - "Jenny from the Block" feat. Ben Affleck Who could forget Bennifer? J-Lo and Affleck may be trying, but this paparazzi-styled video will remind both them, and us, just how in love these two were. Looking back, the showy video (Yacht? Check. Bling? Check. Fur? Check.) didn't do much to validate their relationship, but the retro-bounce of the single definitely validated Lopez's music career. Every so often, you'll still hear someone quote "don't be fooled by the rocks that I got."



Foo Fighters - "Learn to Fly" feat. Jack Black As one-half of the comedy duo Tenacious D, Jack Black cameos in this classic Foo Fighters rocker. But impressively, Dave Grohl, frontman of the band and consummate good-time guy, outshines the boisterous actors as the true comedic performer.
