MTV Icons show
Aaliyah introduces and honors some of the hottest movers and dancers at the Janet Jackson MTV Icons Award Show.
My personal favorite Janet video is Alright which features Cab Calloway and has this really cool, retro vibe and amazing dance moves.
Loaded performance
Martin performs Loaded at the Superbowl from album Studio Album.
Stronger performance
Spears perform Stronger at the American Music Awards from album Oops, I Did It Again.
Traffic
Zeta-Jones plays Helena Ayala in the crime drama Traffic. Four different stories intertwine in a film about the war on drugs in America. A conservative judge is appointed by the President to lead the war on drugs, but quickly finds out that his own daughter suffers from cocaine addiction.
When Steven Soderbergh called me to be in Traffic, that was such an amazing opportunity, because it wouldn’t be what would be typically given to me. I just try to keep mixing it up.
I’m A Slave 4 U performance
Spears performs I’m A Slave 4 U during the MTV Video Music Awards to promote her album Britney.
Miss Congeniality
Bullock plays FBI agent Gracie Hart in this comedy directed by Donald Petrie. Hart goes undercover as a contestant in a beauty pageant to prevent a bomb attack on the pageant, but first, she gets a head-to-toe makeover. Co-starring Benjamin Bratt, Michael Caine, Candice Bergen, and William Shatner.
They don’t have many roles like this for women in Hollywood. They had them in the 30s and 40s and then Lucille Ball sort of left with it. This is sort of my Dumb And Dumber phase.
Try Again performance
Aaliyah performs her hit single, Try Again from the Romeo Must Die soundtrack.
How Many Licks performance

Almost Famous
Deschanel stars in her breakout role in this Cameron Crowe comedy-drama film.

She is constantly at odds with her mother, played by Francis McDormand, and leaves home to become a flight stewardess. The film also stars Philip Seymour Hoffman, Billy Crudup, and Kate Hudson. On being cast in the film:
That’s an interesting story. Almost Famous was my second movie. I had done my first movie, which was Mumford (1999), my senior year of high school. And I missed my last month of school to do it. So I was corresponding with my teachers and doing my term papers. I was in all honors classes so it was like this big deal to leave school.

While waiting on her big break and attempting to get over her stage fright, she takes on a job as a bartender and meets her boyfriend Kevin O’Donnell played by Adam Garcia.
