The video for Mariah Carey's "Touch My Body," which debuts next week, is going to feature Jack McBrayer—a.k.a.
30 Rock's ubernaif page Kenneth Parcell—and you may not be surprised by the fact that he's apparently playing a guy who's kind of a nerd. (
Toya's World has shots of McBrayer in full-on rainbow-headband workout mode.) Not only that, but the clip was directed by
Rush Hour auteur Brett Ratner! Hmm, when you compare this clip's probable budget to that of
Janet Jackson's Plan 9-looking "Feedback", then think about the difference between the blog smackdowns given to sites that dared post a snippet of "Touch" and the unsullied sites that are dealing in .zip files of
Discipline right now, you get a pretty clear picture of what Island Def Jam's priorities are at the moment, don't you? [
