Fergie and Josh Duhamel have no interest in becoming reality television stars.

"We've been asked a couple of times, but I don't think I would make good reality TV," the actor, 42, told me yesterday while promoting his new indie drama Bravetown (on theaters an on VOD now) with Lucas Till. "She might, but it's not for me. I'm not against anyone who does it, but it's just not for me."

Duhamal jokes he's now become, "Fergie's baby's dad. That's my title now."

Their son Axl will turn two in August. "He's a such a sweet little guy," Duhamel said. "He's really fun and social. He's super curious and talking like crazy. I think he gets that from her. She was talking really young. He seems to have that gift of gab."

Mother's Day won't be anything elaborate this year.

"She's working really hard on this album right now," Duhamel said of his wife of six years. "She really just wants to keep it low key. We're going to do something with her family tomorrow and then probably just a little something here at the house."

We can't wait to hear the 40-year-old singer's new tunes. "It's so good," Duhamel gushed. "It's beautiful and it's meaningful and it's bad ass."

Will we hear any Axl on the album? "There might be," Duhamel said. "He loves playing with the little microphone she has in the house."

While Duhamel's police series Battle Creek was cancelled by CBS just a few hours after we talked, he's still has plenty of work to think about.

He recently wrapped Beyond Deceit with Anthony Hopkins and Al Pacino in which he plays a young lawyer framed for a murder. And he's heading to Toronto soon to film Hulu's adaptation of the Stephen King time-travel novel about JFK's assassination 11/22/63 with James Franco and Chris Cooper.
