Don't lecture Duhamel about his device

Even soap hunks have difficulties flying. TMZ is reporting that AMC-grad Josh Duhamel was kicked off of a flight headed from NYC to Kentucky. Despite repeated requests from a male flight attendant, Duhamel refused to turn off his BlackBerry before takeoff.

Upon the attendant's third request to power down his device, Duhamel reportedly laughed. At that point, the still-grounded plane left the runway and headed back to the gate, where two officers escorted Duhamel off the vessel. The already delayed flight was put further behind schedule, due to Duhamel's antics, angering other passengers.

A rep for the actor told TMZ that Duhamel was simply texting about his flight being delayed. "He's sorry," the rep added. Maybe Duhamel just needs a little shirtless time on a soap to put him in a better mood.
