It’s well-documented that I’m rather “meh” on both Josh Duhamel and Fergie. The only interest I have in them is the occasional thought of “What do they see in each other?” They just seem like such an odd couple – she’s the former drug addict turned sort-of A-List rocker girl, he seems like a standard-issue vanilla B-List television/movie star. What do they have to talk about? Do they make each other laugh? Is the sex good? I have no idea. That’s how weird they are together – I think I usually have a pretty decent theory about what’s going on in a celebrity’s life just from reading about them and playing guessing games with the photos. But I’m utterly clueless when I see photos of Fergie and Josh together.

Josh seems to be trying to let us into their world. He gave an interview to Men’s Health Magazine (I would assume the interview is part of his promotion of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen). The interview is coming out in pieces, and in this part (from Page Six), Josh actually made me laugh:

Josh Duhamel and Fergie (of the Black Eyed Peas) got a stripper pole as one of their wedding gifts, but according to Duhamel, “I’ve played on the pole more than she has.”

The actor tells [Men’s Health], “If you know my wife, she’s a perfectionist and won’t get on it until she’s good, so she wants to take a class first. So the pole is really just decorative at this point.”

Meanwhile, Duhamel’s not shy about his own taste in female flesh. Asked by the magazine to name the “hottest part of a woman’s body,” he told the magazine, “Personally, I like the a-s.”

So, is that it? Josh just likes the butt, and it’s as simple as that? What, did he marry the first girl he dated with some junk in her trunk? I will give it to Fergie, she has a nice trunk. The trunk won’t stay the same size, though, if Josh gets his next wish. He wants babies! This is another part of the same Men’s Health interview, this time from Now Magazine:

[Josh Duhamel] is determined to strike a balance between his home life and his career.

‘I want to do good work, but having kids and a life outside of that is important,’ says Josh.

‘If you don’t have anybody around who loves you, then what’s it all for? You’re just lonely in the end. It’s all about whatever enriches you. If you decide to go the domestic route and get married and all those things, it makes you a better actor.’

Josh, 36, reckons he’s at the peak of his career.

‘I feel like I’m finally starting to get looks at some of the things I’ve always wanted to do,’ he tells Men’s Health.

‘I have a lot more flexibility I can show. That’s what makes it fun. That’s why I love this business. I don’t want to do things just to prove to people “Look how dark I can be.” It’s about the story. It has to be a good story.’

Aw, he’s a little cute when he’s talking about kids. Have I misjudged him? He seems nice and funny in this interview. Still a little bland, but the humor and the baby-talk is working for me. I wonder if Fergie will get pregnant soon – I bet she will, actually. But who am I to say? I’m still clueless about this couple.

Sidenote: As I was researching this story, I found this totally NSFW link to naked Josh Duhamel photos. They are totally arty and hot, and it’s FULL FRONTAL baby.
