Jordin Sparks - MTV VMAs 2008
Jordin Sparks (in Betsey Johnson) arrives at the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards at Paramount Pictures Studios in Los Angeles on Sunday.
The 18-year-old American Idol champ, who finished off her look with Nicole Khristine jewels (Rockstar Earrings and a Faith Ring), sat in the VIP section at the Chateau Marmont after the In Touch Weekly’s Icons and Idols after-party.
The 18-year-old singer spoke out against host Russell Brand for joking about the Jonas Brothers and their purity rings. She told the crowd, ‘I just have one thing to say about promise rings. It’s not bad to wear a promise ring because not everybody – guy or girl – wants to be a slut.”
WHAT DO YOU THINK about Jordin sticking up for the Jonas Brothers?

thank goodness someone said something. I had never heard of Russell Brand before the VMAs, and he left a horrible first impression. Just because the Jonas Brothers are 10 times more famous than you will ever be (Even in the UK), doesnt mean you get to bash them for religious beliefs. I cant even believe they let him say that…You know you are an idiot when Paris Hilton disagrees with you.
Russell Brand screwed up the whole show and I am very disapointed MTV let their host use the awards show as a political advertisement, and they let him make fun of people that were performing, presenting, and accepting awards at the very same show..
I’m guessing that the majority of the people who say he isn’t funny are American and don’t get British humour. Russell is one of Britain’s best comedians and a lot of people probably don’t get/understand him because he’s quick and his vocabulary is out of this frickin world!
you’re not a **** anita, but you are nasty
I thought Russell was hilarious! I think it’s fine to have a purity ring, but the odds of keeping that promise are little to none. I’m pretty sure that’s the point he was trying make. Also, people who have sex aren’t *****. And everyone else needs to learn how to take a joke.
daisy, Europeans are not funny. russell suck **** hahaha get it? **** hahaha
damn it jared the * thing took the funny out of my racist comment.
Also, ye, Rusell was ripping the p*iss outta a the JoBros but people need to grow some skin - he was blates just doing it for a laugh. And I agree with GossipGirl, the rings ARE slightly retarded because its like what, you need a ring to tell you not to do it, why don’t you just not do it fullstop? At the end of the day, a rings got nothing to do with it, it doesn’t seal off your sexual organs, it’s up to the individual to excercise control.
Fat Stupid *****
I admire her for standing up for what she believes in but I don’t think that people who have sex are ******. I understand that he was just trying to be funny and as a host it’s his job to “shock.” But she should know better than to take anything like that seriously. She should have laugh it off or she should have re-worded what she said so that it didn’t sound like she thought that she was better than people who have sex cause that’s what it sounded like to me.
A snap judgement on both of their parts if you ask me.
I hope their fans know that they’re probably not really virgins. They all pull the same crap and I remember when it was Britney Spears and the guys in N’Sync witht the WWJD necklaces (and now we know that was a bunch of bull) It’s all spin and not real. And Jordan needs to lighten up. Simply because you have sex doesn’t make you a slu? and because you’re a virgin it doesn’t make you a saint.
Good for her. She sounded nervous and that was obviously unscripted. I don’t think she meant to imply that not wearing one makes you a ****. Her wording could have been better - but I have to give her a LOT of credit for going up against someone as slick and slimy as Russell Brand.
I think it was cool of her to stand up for them. They’re all really good friends. besides, he also offended HER because she also wears a purity ring. He was an ass the entire night. All he talked about was sex!! Frickin perv!
Oh and btw: If anyone is offended by Jordin’s comment, then you must be a ****. I mean, I’m ure until marriage, but I don’t have a ring. I’m not offended though because I know for a fact that I’m not a sl*t. If you get mad, then you must sleep around a lot or the comment wouldn’t even bother you…

Never heard of this stupid cow….but…..
Calling all others who don’t wear a purity ring a **** is an amazingly diplomatic statement.
I won’t bother to argue her “statement” because it’s obvious her lack of ability to form a sentence that actually states her thoughts is so lacking that it’s laughable. Ergo, she has no clue what came out of her mouth and it probably took several people to explain her ENORMOUS gaffe.
Russel Brand was at least performing a comedy routine.
I think it was well said. Sure, it was a joke but her come back was snappy. I loved!
Caveat: most TMZ readers, see above, don’t recognize her enormous gaffe either, so it’s fair to assume, they also won’t understand my comment.
I don’t think anyone was offended by her comments, I think some people just saw them as unnecessary. Some might say that if you choose to wear a purity ring or some other symbol of chastity that is your business and has nothing to do with anyone else. She came across a little judgmental and a tad bit sanctimonious. But on the plus side, people are talking about her and that’s a step up for her.
jordan sparks is being let go from her record company……….she sucks!!! fat ****!!!!
Daisy #27, you are so right, its obvious American’s don’t get Russell’s humour. I thought he was brilliant, made the VMA’s worth watching, god, all it was, was rapping borrrrrring! And purity rings OK, but clearly they want people to talk about it otherwise they wouldn’t feel the need to wear them.
Awsome job Russell :)
i think that its perfectly fine.
and she should stand up for herself, just becuase the jonas brothers are more known for having purity rings. it doesnt mean their the only people that should be made fun of. and no one tells and makes fun of russel brand about his personal problems and decisions. and the jb shouldnt be blamed for being such good and grounded people. the jonas brothers are amazing and well grounded. they are the real people that are going to succeed in this life.
has the same dress that vanessa hudgens…
the second is the same!
vanessa what had already used in other awards …
This is not meant to be harsh, but more like advice from someone who cares. If you were offended, maybe you feel guilty and should rethink the casual sex “with people you date” thing. GO JORDIN AND JOBROS. They have a clear conscience each new morning and have kept a special part of themselves for that right person. Don’t casually give it away.
I am thankful that she said somthing. no one else was going to and the russle dude was going to get away with it. He really crossed the line and i hope he realized that.
Thanks Jordin.
if you have sex you’re not necessarily a **** either, and there are people WITHOUT promise rings that remain chaste too. She snapped over nothing, Brand was only making jokes.
