1. Hype Williams - you are now officially the most talentless, generic, and insipid music video director of all time.

2. Jamie Foxx - Ray is done filming, you can stop moving around like him now. It has become creepy/awkward at this point.

3. Jake Gyllenhaal - had you at the very least been shirtless throughout this video's entirety, I would have excused you.

4. Ron Howard - you are more out of place in this video than Tom Cruise would be inside of Katie.

5. Forest Whitaker - I know that was you underneath the Panda head, what I didn't know was your proclivity for gettin' down.

6. Samuel L. Jackson - not surprised to see you there whatsoever.

That was the either a result of some bizarre contract riders, or simply the fever dream of Foxx after some half-cooked clams casino. Pandaman?? What the hell?!

I am contractually obligated to say Jake looked hot.

@CrankYank: I do believe Howard has a future career playing drunken hobos.

by Jamie Foxx, who is now firmly at the "Waiting for Tonight" phase of his Jennifer Lopez-emulating career

@ellagood: On a somewhat related note, I remember in one of his specials, Foxx basically tried to call Lopez out for being a chunky hip-hop dancer groupie whose sudden shoot to stardom was, at the least, suspicious.

I remember thinking, "Wow, that's alot of smack-talking from a comedian who basically hit it big when his most famous imitation got him a movie deal?" I hold them firmly in the same category. Give me a professionally-trained actor of color who is actually bringing some depth to the screen anyday.

...but dammit if Opie didn't get 45% more attractive to me.

Strangely, Ron Howard is more believable in this video than Jake.

@Hockeymom: I was thinking the same thing. Jake just seemed uncomfortable the whole time.

To be honest, everyone seemed awkward. It looked like the entire set was sober. How ironic...

I haven't watched music videos in years. I'm kinda surprised that they're still doing the same dapper gents getting out of an expensive car in slow motion then slow grinding on scantily clad women thing they've been doing since P.Diddy was Puff Daddy. I'd have thought an Oscar winner could bring something new to the table. It makes me yearn for a good old Trapped In the Closet type R.Kelly mini-soap opera video.

More surprising to me, why would Jaime Foxx rely so much on the auto-tune?

I don't like all of his music by any means, but his voice is pretty good. Not sure why he felt the need to sound like Kanycherpain.

(Okay, I guess even that isn't as surprising as Ron Howard.)

Given the nature of he show -

Get another actor to play him and have the rest of the cast look at him funny everytime he enters a scene. Kind of a "That's not the George Michael I remember." And then have Jason Bat----

WHO ARE ALL OF YOU PEOPLE? WHERE DID YOU COME FROM??

KOOKLA?? OLD NO. 7? BESS MARVIN?? HELLO? WHAT HAS HAPPENED HERE???

I am frightened and disorientated . . .

If Michael Cera refuses to do the film, they should have a flashback of George Michael dying in the most horrific, humiliating way ever. And I say this as a fan of both Michael Cera and George Michael (but I'll think MC is a dick if he doesn't do this movie).
