Few people can attract celebrity guests to debut a three minute music video.<br/> <br />And even less can get Natalie Portman and Johnny Depp to star in it.<br/> <br />But Paul McCartney pulls off both with the video for his latest single "My Valentine".<br/> <br />The former Beatle directed it and features the Oscar-winning actress doing sign language, while the Oscar-nominated actor strums soulfully on the guitar.<br/> <br />McCartney, with newly wed wife Nancy Shevell in tow, threw a classic Hollywood bash to launch the video.<br/> <br />Gwen Stefani, Gwenyth Paltrow and Kristin Stewart were amongst the stars attending the event, thrown at the store of Paul's fashion designer daughter Stella.<br/> <br />She gave the music video a thumbs up.<br/> <br />SOUNDBITE: Fashion Designer Stella McCartney, Paul Mccartney's Daughter, saying (English):<br/> <br />"I think it's really classy actually. I think it has a great purity to it and it's very simple, and for me, you know, less is always more and I think he really captures that."<br/> <br />The song features on Paul's 15th solo studio album, a collection of jazz-infused songs and inspired by his father, "Kisses on the Bottom".<br/> <br />When asked what he wanted people to take away from the video, he remained humble.<br/> <br />SOUNDBITE: Paul McCartney, saying (English):<br/> <br />"Yeah, yeah, I don't know -- that they like it, that they think it's a good performance, that they like the song, and that they love the world, and 'Peace.'"<br/> <br />Cindy Martin, Reuters
