Stars have risen, fallen, loved and lost in Los Angeles. A new video from Thirty Seconds to Mars serves as a confessional for some of those celebrities. The music video for "City of Angels" features a lineup of stars spilling their feelings — both good and bad — about the city that made them.
The A-list cameos come from Kanye West, Lindsay Lohan, Olivia Wilde, James Franco, Juliette Lewis, Ashley Olsen, Lily Collins, Selena Gomez, Shaun White and Corey Feldman. The band's frontman, Jared Leto also offers his thoughts, as do impersonators of Marilyn Monroe, Superman and Michael Jackson - "This city took my mother, but this city also gave me mychild,"
"This city took my mother, but this city also gave me my child," Kanye West explains. "The city of angels is my paradox. My nightmares are my dreams."
Lindsay Lohan also speaks candidly about her fame and career: "I've disappointed myself the most in my life. To not be like, 'Wake the f*ck up, look what you have. This is what you've wanted.'"
"The city of Angels is where I was able to find myself again," she adds.
Child star Corey Feldman discusses how he started working at age 3 and his family relied on him to pay the bills. "I've been to the top, and I've been to the bottom more times than most people ride in an elevator," he says.
Clocking in at 11 minutes, the piece is more short film than music video. Between Angelenos' gushing tales of the city, the Thirty Seconds to Mars trio jams out on a hill overlooking the city.
"City of Angels" is from the band's Love, Lust, Faith and Dreams.
