A who's who guide to the naked celebrities in Kanye West's videopinterest

Kanye's super-NSFW new video for "Famous" dropped last night—and it's all the Internet can talk about today. The controversial video features 12 naked celebrities in bed together. But it's a little tricky to figure out who's who among the tangled sheets and various wax figure body parts. Plus, Kanye's was a little zoom-happy in this voyeuristic style film, making identifying the famous people extra challenging. (Like, how are we supposed to recognize that's Chris Brown's exposed derrière??)

To clear things up, we're breaking down the scene with who's who and how they relate to Kanye. Note: While some of the featured individuals have already spoken out with complaints and feedback, others are denying their involvement. So while #1 is *supposed* to be George W. Bush, it's "not" George W. Bush, okay? Here we go:
