"Guess who was at MTV&amp;#039;s TRL live taping yesterday? Well, besides William Beckett and Mike Carden of The Academy Is... and Pete Wentz of Fall Out Boy, Seventeen got VIP access to bring you the behind-the-scenes scoop!  Pete was the guest host (alongside MTV VJ Damien Fahey.) He interviewed his friends and tourmates William and Mike. The Academy Is... and Fall Out Boy will kick off their Honda Civic Tour on May 11. William was pumped to be at the studio after flying in from Chicago yesterday morning. &amp;quot;I didn&amp;#039;t think I was going to make my flight,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;A traffic light was out on the way there, and traffic was horrible.&amp;quot; He managed to race through security and &amp;quot;sweet-talk&amp;quot; a lady behind the counter to get to the plane on time. Whew! That was close! When the guys go on tour, they make close friends (like the guys of Gym Class Heroes) and learn from everyone they are with, William said. &amp;quot;When we support bands, we always give them a little gift.&amp;quot; We wonder what they&amp;#039;ll give Fall Out Boy this time. Too bad they don&amp;#039;t give gifts to magazine editors (hint, hint!). Another celeb spotting at TRL was none other than Ashlee Simpson. She was sitting backstage in all black supporting her rumored fling -- guest host Pete Wentz. (P.S. Check out his dating tips on seventeen.com.)
