Description: This video tie-in to The Pink Panther remake starring Steve Martin as Inspector Clouseau and Beyonce Knowles as a pop star features a little bit of the trademarked Pink Panther animation and some film footage, but it's mostly a showcase for Beyonce. The singer cavorts in a string of diverse outfits on a stage lined with billowing pink satin sheets, while guest rapper Slim Thug makes a couple quick appearances. Director Hype Williams uses the same trick he's been favoring lately: The main footage is displayed at an extreme aspect ratio with additional footage shown in the parts of the screen that would usually be wasted with black bars.
