will.i.am

How cool are we that we got to go backstage at TRL and hang with will.i.am and Common and Hillary Swank at the photo booth? Pretty damn cool, right? Will is one of those guys who's so hard-working and prodigious it's almost annoying. Like, dude, you're making the rest of us look bad. Plus he's super nice and thoughtful and way more emotionally substantial than you'd expect someone who writes songs like My Humps and Beep for a living to be. And Common makes cool hats. Who knew? This was a story for VMAN. Slideshow if you want to see more.
