Saw this article on Fox News last night:
LOS ANGELES — Sunday night’s MTV Video Music Award host Russell Brand took several digs at young stars wearing “purity rings” to pledge their virginity until marriage — and “American Idol” winner Jordin Sparks wasn’t having any of it.
Brand’s running theme for the evening centered on the Jonas Brothers and their rings — until Sparks stepped on stage to have her say about his constant remarks.
“Not everyone wants to be a slut,” Sparks spat back, the auditorium filling with applause. Sparks, Miley Cyrus and Selena Gomez are also among the young stars who have vowed to remain chaste.
Sparks told Pop Tarts later at the In Touch magazine after-party that she was more than happy to put Brand — known as Britain’s ultimate playboy — in his place.
“Somebody had to do it,” she said.
Word is, Russell Brand, not only was highly sexual in his jokes and conversations at the VMA’s, but he decided to give his opinion on our political situation here in America as well. It is obvious that as he decided to attack the Jonas Brothers and Sarah Palin’s soon to be son-in-law, the crows quickly lost interest. Russell had huge applause when he gave his endorsement of Obama courtesy of the UK, but became very unpopular, almost to dead silence with his vial attacks. Check the video out below for yourself.
UPDATE: I could not embed the video, so CLICK HERE to see it!
UPDATE #2: Here is the video response for Jordin Sparks (CLICK HERE)…they cut it short & cut the applause out. Thanks Chuck for requesting the video…I apologize for my lazy blogging 🙂
While your at it, Join the Conversation, Did you watch the VMA’s? If not, watch the video, and then tell me what you think. I think its exciting to see some mainstream, popular artist stand up for purity!
Go her!!! Like a breath of fresh air when a girl can genuinely be that way in this sex crazed society we live in. Especially those in the spotlight where the pressure is really on them to be a sex icon as well as a performing artist.
No, I didn’t watch it. But I read about it and saw the clip later. Kudos to the Jonas brothers! Seriously. For being able to be role models today for that! We need more of that for kids/ teenagers today.
Something is really messed up when we want to bash people like Bristol Palin for her teen pregnancy. Then when teens make the decision that they aren’t going to have sex and get into situations like that, we have to mock them too. Really now what do we want kids to do? They are confused enough in today world. It’s really sad.
Again, kudos the the Jonas Brothers!
I literally just wrote about this today!
I came across your blog kind of randomly but Ive enjoyed reading it 🙂 Just wanted to let you know!
Have a blessed day!
Good Stuff! Unfortunately, the audience was laughing with him more than i expected, but incredible to hear of Jordan and the Jonas 3 holding true! Is there video of Jordan’s response?
Very cool. She’s got a new fan.
Good for her! Yeah Jordan!
That’s how you do it! If it were me I’d just punch that ole’brit in the throat and tell him about 1776. ha!
