LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- Video Music Award host
Russell Brand poked fun at the Jonas Brothers when he cracked a few
jokes about the purity rings they wear, but not everyone was
laughing -- including "American Idol" Jordin Sparks.
Earlier in the night during his opening monologue, Russell made
multiple off color jokes suggesting the teen super group use their
celebrity to land dates.
"I just have one thing to say about promise rings. It's not bad
to wear a promise ring," Jordin, who also reportedly wears her own
purity ring, told the crowd before she introduced T.I. at Sunday's
2008 VMAs at Paramount Studios in Hollywood, "because not everybody
- guy or girl - wants to be a slut."

Following Jordin's remarks, Russell returned to the stage and
attempted to apologize.
"I didn't meant to take it lightly," the British funnyman told the crowd. "I don't want to piss off teenage fans. Promise rings, I'm well up for it. [But] a bit of sex, it never hurt anybody."
