Jordin Sparks Sticks Up for Jonas Brothers' Promise Rings at VMA's

Jordin Sparks Sticks Up for Jonas Brothers' Promise Rings at VMA's
Britney Spears' trophy-laden night may have been the talk of the VMA's, but Jordin Sparks was fairly outspoken herself at the awards show when host Russell Brand poked fun at the Jonas Brothers' chastity rings.

"I just have one thing to say about promise rings," the former "American Idol" champ said on stage. "It's not bad to wear a promise ring, because not everybody -- guy or girl -- wants to be a slut."

Brand made amends with a tongue-in-cheek reply.

"I didn't meant to take it lightly," he said of promise rings. "I don't want to piss off teenage fans." Then he later joked: "Promise rings, I'm well up for it. [But] a bit of sex, it never hurt anybody."

  • I agree! I don't think it was really about the promise rings, more that it is accepted and even expected that most teenagers will be sexually active. It's strange how nowadays virginity is almost shameful.

  • I have to admit I'm proud of Sparx. I happened to not save myself, and live a different lifestyle. But I am very proud of those that have made a commitment to their partner and themselves to save their virginity until marriage. I'm 28 and if I could...
