Josh Duhamel And Fergie Is Ready For Baby

Josh Duhamel isn't worried about the sleepless nights and dirty diapers that await him when wife Fergie gives birth to their first child later this year. On the contrary, he says he's looking forward to them.

"Everybody who's had a baby or knows somebody who's had a baby seems to have advice about something," the 40-year-old dad-to-be told. "'Oh, you better sleep now; you're not going to get any when the baby's here.' 'Oh, your life is over after that.' 'Oh, it's the most beautiful thing ever, but, oh, it's tough.'"

"I feel like we're ready for it," the Transformers actor continued. "I actually look forward to that."

In fact, he wants to do as much of that as possible. "I plan on taking [off] as much time as I can just before and as much time as possible after," he told. "I can't imagine having a kid and then not being able to be there. That would just drive me crazy. My head would be at home with mom and baby."

Fergie, for her part, recently said that she has the utmost confidence in Duhamel's parenting abilities. "He's been amazing," the 38-year-old pregnant singer gushed in April. "He's so nice and wonderful, and he sings and talks to my belly all the time. He's very complimentary. I'm very lucky that he is really good to me."

"He's going to be an amazing father," she added. "he's just got natural parenting instincts, and he wanted to knock me up from our first date! He is ready!"

Jason Molina Dies

Jason Molina, the singer-songwriter who recorded as Songs: Ohia and Magnolia Electric Co. as well as under his own name, has died. According to a statement issued by Secret Canadian, Molina passed away on Saturday night, March 16, due to natural causes. He was 39.

"Jason is the cornerstone of Secretly Canadian," the label says. "Without him there would be no us — plain and simple. His singular, stirring body of work is the foundation upon which all else has been constructed."

Originally based in Ohio, Molina first used the Songs: Ohia name on a mid-'90s single for like-minded Americana mystic Will Oldham's Drag City imprint, Palace Records. He went on to build up a prolific and impressive discography, releasing more than a dozen albums from 1997 through 2009, mostly via Secretly Canadian, under his various project names. His final release before his death was last year's Autumn Bird Songs, a 10-inch vinyl mini-album out on Graveface; scroll down to hear the stark, stirring "Heart My Heart."

Molina had been struggling for years with alcoholism. After releasing a collaborative album with Centro-matic and South San Gabriel frontman Will Johnson in 2009, Molina canceled their planned shows together. Then, in September 2011, Secretly Canadian revealed Molina had spent the last two years "in and out of rehab facilities and hospitals in England, Chicago, Indianapolis, and New Orleans." He had no health insurance, so the label asked friends and listeners to support him via a PayPal medical fund.
