Does The Rock in the Wyclef Jean thing really count? He’s supposedly part of a collaboration. It’s billed as Wyclef Jean with The Rock. Not that he does much performing. As far as I can tell, they just had him say his signature “It doesn’t MATTER” line and then mixed it in.

Oh yeah, and wasn’t a pre-fame Wesley Snipes one of the dancers in a Michael Jackson video? “Bad” maybe? Or “Beat It”?

Surfing the Web earlier today, I ran across this, and it reminded me of **spoke** ’s post. From[this site](http://www.mellencamp.com/faq/):
"Q Who is the model driving the cab in the “ **Wild Night** ” video?
A She is an Australian model, and her name is Shana Zardock. She has often **been mistaken for Cindy Crawford**."
So, it appears that this was the video in question, and after almost 3 years, **spoke** ’s question has finally been answered.
Cheers,
