JOSH DUHAMEL ON BLACKBERRY PLANE INCIDENT: "I MESSED UP" AND HOLIDAY PLANS WITH FERGIE

December 9, 2010 (Los Angeles, CA) -ENTERTAINMENT TONIGHT spoke with Josh Duhamel today for a new interview to air tomorrow, December 10th.

The star tells ET about his experience last week when he was asked to leave a flight from New York to Kentucky after reportedly ignoring a flight attendant's request to turn his BlackBerry off. "I messed up," he says. "I feel like an idiot because of it."

He goes on to say, "It's just one of those situations that you wish you could have back," he explains. "I meant no disrespect to the crew or the flight attendant or any of the people that were on the plane. I didn't mean to further delay them. ...You know, that's just not the person I try to be, and I just wanted a chance to apologize to the people that were affected by it." Josh adds with a laugh, "The lesson that I learned is that I probably need to check myself into 'BlackBerries Anonymous.'"

The 38-year-old star also tells ET he plans to spend the holidays along with wife Fergie with his family, noting, "We switch off every year. Last year Christmas was at Ferg's house, this year it's at my place. ... We just plan it so that we're spending time with both families."

Josh confirms that they plan to renew their wedding vows on their upcoming second anniversary in January, saying, "It's fun, and it's a good excuse to get family and friends together and throw a party." In the meantime, both stars remain busy, but Josh says he enjoys catching his significant other on stage with the Black Eyed Peas whenever he can. "I love watching the show and I love watching her perform," he gushes. "I'm impressed by her and her talent. I'm not afraid to admit it -- I'm a fan."

This holiday season (and, of course, year-round), Josh is trying to make a difference and hopes people will consider the American Red Cross and their 2010 Holiday Giving Campaign, "Gifts that Save the Day." "I felt like I really wanted to do something," he says. "What can I do? How can I help make the biggest impact? And it was through the Red Cross."
