Sometimes, life is kind enough to fill a need you didn't even know you had. Here, then, is a hip-hop video that stars Jake Gyllenhaal and Ron Howard for some reason. You're welcome!

The music video they appear in is the Hype Williams-directed "Blame It" by Jamie Foxx, who is now firmly at the "Waiting for Tonight" phase of his Jennifer Lopez-emulating career (and now you know why he was so determined to appear on In Living Color). Sure, we can understand the cameos from Forest Whitaker, Samuel L. Jackson, and even the dapper Gyllenhaal. But Ron Howard, raising a glass of champers amidst video hos? Somewhere at Imagine, a jealous Brian Grazer is frantically dialing Lil' Wayne while assuring Howard, "No, it's OK. I got next." The clip is below.
