Jordin Sparks was among those who did not find MTV Video Music Awards host Russell Brand funny at Sunday's 25th Anniversary ceremony.
Sparks became one of the first that night who slammed the British comedian's jokes about Pop/Rock group The Jonas Brothers and their purity rings before introducing T.I.'s performance.
"I just have one thing to say about promise rings. It's not bad to wear a promise ring," Sparks told the crowd. The "No Air" singer went on to say "Not everybody -guy or girl- wants to be a slut."
Sparks who reportedly wears a "purity ring" symbolizing her virginity was fuming before she hit the stage after Brand had made several jokes about virginity and purity/promise rings at one point suggesting that the Jonas Brothers place their rings on their genitals to capitalize off of their new found stardom.
When Brand returned to the stage he issued a quasi-apology for his comments that had offended the singer. "I didn't meant to take it lightly," the host said about purity rings. "I don't want to piss off teenage fans." Still, Brand, whose apology soon morphed into a series of off-color jokes, said, "Promise rings, I'm well up for it. [But] a bit of sex, it never hurt anybody."
Celebrity blogger Perez Hilton attacked Brand at the end of the show calling the comedian out on his own sexcapades in Europe.
Brand received mixed reviews during the ceremony with many fans and celebrities wishing he had stayed home.

Go jordin!you did great defending for the jonas brothers:]
I wonder if Russell Brand ever said anythiong about Melissa Etheridge.
I 'spect it has something to do with carpet cleaning.
I love that dido GriotLori, and last time I check sex outside of marriage is consider fornication which is a sin whether you believe it or not. Do you know that the earlier you start having sex the more likely you can get cervical cancer. God does not exist inside of time, so whether it's the 21st or the dark age a spade is spade.
Russel Brand's ribbing of the Jonas brothers was hardly shocking. One day the JB's will wake up & wish they hadn't waited so long to have sex, If they really are virgins
Good for you, Jordin! Young people need more role models who will stand up to the culture of promiscuity-without-consequence. Sexually-transmitted diseases are increasing again among young people, as are an alarming number of teenage pregnancies. "Sane"(Rachael) use to mean thinking through the consequences of your actions which most sexually-active teens do not do; and though you may think you are not a 's***' (Jessica) you really don't want to know what your partner-of-the-moment thinks of you. Wake up, girls/young ladies and value yourselves more. Go, Jordin! ;-)
What she do that for! You can have sex and not be a s*** as long as you don't sleep around! Last time I checked this was the 21st Century!
A s***?! Who the hell does she think she is!! Shock horrow people but sex is normal! Good one Russell Brand, at least someone is sane!
at least someone stood up that jerk! so what if the jonas brother have stanards. they're amazing. not everybody is a whore russell.
