As if I needed another reason to hit the DISLIKE button every time I see/hear about Josh Duhamel…

TMZ reports that Josh was on a plane bound to Kentucky (my apologies to the Bluegrass State). He refused to turn off his cell phone for a few minutes during takeoff. The flight attendant busted out her best patronizing smile and asked Duhamel repeatedly to turn off the Blackberry so the plane could takeoff.

“One passenger tells us Duhamel was “very rude” and “taunting the attendant.” We’re told the flight attendant asked Josh to turn off the device three separate times — and on the third time Josh laughed at her request.

We’re told Duhamel’s reaction infuriated the attendant, who then called for backup — and the plane, which was already on the runway, was turned back to the gate. Two officers eventually boarded the plane and escorted Duhamel off of the aircraft.”

For all those on the flight from New York to Kentucky who had to turn around and go back to the gate to drop off a giant knob and caused a 90 minute wait on top of their already delayed flight…he is moderately apologetic.

“’Duhamel’s rep told TMZ Josh was texting on his BlackBerry about his flight being delayed.’ The rep adds, ‘He’s sorry.’”

So he was sexting whatever trick he picked up at a gas station that his man-ho train will be late? Unless he was having a monkey doing the texting it should have only taken 30 seconds. He needs a rep that will create a story about texting a homeless (but cell phone harboring) refugee in war-torn country to prevent him from suicide or instructing Superman how to disable a bomb that is strapped to a box full of kittens. That shiz is more believable.
