Josh Duhamel Does Good


Over the weekend, The Black Eyed Peas played in North Dakota. I don't think they have ever even sniffed North Dakota previous to this. Yes, Fergie has been there of course, but the group has not played there. They did so because of Josh Duhamel. This is a guy who loves the state where he grew up and his community and will do anything he can to help. Back in June, his hometown of Minot had severe flooding which damaged the home Josh grew up in and condemned the middle school he attended. Using his celebrity, he talked his wife and the Peas into performing at the State Fairgrounds this weekend and the even raised millions of dollars to be distributed to those who were affected by the floods. Specifically the money will go to paying for materials to rebuild all the damaged homes. Did you hear about Josh doing this? Did you know he was there a few weeks ago to survey the damage? This is the kind of guy who flies under the radar. Yes, he may have had his indiscretions, but, this kind of thing and doing it without trying to make it all about you, goes a long way to having people forget about the indiscretions. He will have to work a little harder though to have me forget about Transformers 3.
