21 Best Celebrity Appearances In Music Videos

8. Macaulay Culkin In Black or White - Michael Jackson

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F2AitTPI5U0 Sure, he may always be thought of as "the Home Alone Kid" and his friendship with Michael Jackson came under intense scrutiny later on, but Macaulay Culkin's appearance in Black or White was still a big deal at the time. As was the track itself, which featured Guns N' Roses guitarist Slash on the intro - becoming one of the fastest to reach number one on the Billboard charts. Culkin got the role that a lot of 80s/early 90s kids would have wanted and envisioned themselves in: meeting Michael Jackson (remember this was before before the scandals and rumour). George Wendt also appears in the video, which has several versions, including a four-minute sequence of Jackson dancing, smashing a car, and grabbing his crotch, which caused MTV to air an edited version. A second take with racial graffiti messages was later released to help explain the sequence, and there is also a release featuring cameos from Bart and Homer Simpson, just to round out some extensive production work.
