Pepsi, Usher and the Int' Space Station Unite for Epic Event

Billy Johnson Jr. : Usher is working on what will likely be the biggest video of his career.

Beginning Tuesday through June 2, fans can submit photos of themselves to  PepsiChallenge.com .

Usher asks entrants to, “Show me your world through your eyes in only a way that you can see it. The realer, the better. The more honest, the more creative.” Read full story
