Russell Brand has been blasted for making fun of The Jonas Brothers’ virginity at this year’s MTV Video Music Awards.
The British comic, who hosted last night’s show live from Paramount Studios in Los Angeles, was called a “slut” by American Idol winner Jordin Sparks for mocking the boy band’s promise rings.
She said of Brand’s remarks, “It’s not bad to wear a promise ring because not everybody, guy or girl, wants to be a slut.”
During his opening monologue, Brand had poked fun at the pop sensations for their no-sex-before-marriage promise and the purity rings they wear.
Brand later apologized for his extremely impure jokes. He said, “I’ve got to say sorry because I said them things about promise rings. That were bad of me, I didn’t mean to take it lightly, or whatever.
“I love the Jonas Brothers, think they’re really good. I don’t want to piss off teenage fans, all right. In fact, quite the opposite. So promise rings, I’m well up for it, well done.”
