The 10 Best Celebrity Appearances in Music Videos
"Dancing in the Dark"
Artist: Bruce Springsteen
Celebrity: Courteney Cox
At the end of this music video, Bruce Springsteen famously pulls eventual Friend Courteney Cox out of the audience to dance with him. Just imagine if he'd plucked David Schwimmer from the crowd -- how might the course of human history have changed?

For Walken, I prefer him playing an angel in the Fincher-directed "Bad Girl" for Madonna.
I also enjoyed Zach's turn in Kanye West's "Can't Tell Me Nothing."

Muse - Hysteria
Justin Theroux is shirtless, so it wins as far as I'm concerned.
And, since Iman is included, I'm guessing models are fair game, so, of course: George Michael - Freedom.
Oooh, and I'm not sure if he was famous at the time, but Paula Abdul's "Forever Your Girl" features a baby Elijah Wood. So freakin' cute.

Why be Walken when you could be Dancing?
Hear, hear! And Danny Aiello in "Papa Don't Preach"!
We're all just breaking out the old skool Fincher, huh? What about Leslie Ann Warren in Janie's Got A Gun?
Or, on the Romanek side, Vincent Gallo in 99 Problems?
OK, one last one: crazy Juliette Lewis in Melissa Etheridge's "Come to My Window."

Oh. Yeah. Speaking of Fincher and Abdul, Arsenio Hall is in Straight Up...
Maybe I've got Olympics on the brain, but Stephen Dorff looks kinda like Apolo Anton Ohno in the "Cryin" video.
Milton Berle in Ratt's "Round and Round" video (and one or two more Ratt videos). He was related to one of the band members.
How about this one?
I Wanna Be a Rockstar
Pretty sure it was Gabrielle Anwar in "Into the Great Wide Open", not Faye Dunaway...
Adrien Brody in Tori Amos' A Sorta Fairytale
Nick, Into The Great Wide Open had both Gabrielle Anwar and Faye Dunaway...as well as Matt LeBLanc....who was also in Bob Seger's video for Night Moves.
Angelina jolie was in the Meatloaf's video I'd Do Anything For Love (But I Won't Do That)
Everyone totally missed over this gem:
Danny Devito, Chevy Chase, Dan Aykroyd, Bill Murray, Harold Ramis, Ernie Husdon, etc.
That's right, Ray Parker Jr's 1984 Hit, Ghostbusters!
