The video was released in March 2007, around the same time as her infamous 𝑠e𝑥 tape with ex-boyfriend Ray J, and despite people knowing of Kim, she didn’t reach superstardom until she starred in Keeping Up With The Kardashians, which first aired in October of that year.
Taking to the comments, one person remarked: ‘I am high right now but is me or does this girl in video look like Kim Kardashian , i mean I have seen this video countless time , I must be tripping.’

She said: ‘I’m a fan of Fall Out Boy and I agreed to do it, and it was so much fun working with them. I think music videos kind of all show the same thing. They kind of want a hot girl and cool cars. This one was totally different.’
The star did admit she had concerns working with real-life monkeys however, admitting it was ‘so scary’.
She continued: ‘I remember my first scene, I had to sit there and watch the boys perform and I had all the monkeys sitting next to me. It was so scary because the trainer was saying, “Don’t call them by their name. Don’t look at them in the eye” basically freaking you out like “Don’t move”.’

Meanwhile Pete Wentz recently reminisced about Kim’s appearance in the video on his new Loud And Sad radio show.
He said in April: ‘I remember we had Kim Kardashian in the video for this song.
‘It’s just so interesting when you look back on that moment and you’re like, ”This is the last moment Fall Out Boy interacted in public with Kim Kardashian where we had the same amount of fame as her”. It’s funny when you look back at this stuff.’
Pete added: ‘Thanks for the memories, Kim.’
