Russell Brand Makes Fun Of The Jonas Brothers

For their no-sex-before-marriage vow...

Monday 08th Sep 2008

VMAs host Russell Brand was forced to backtrack after spending much of his presenting stint mocking the Jonas Brothers for being virgins.

The comedian poked fun at the teen trio for wearing purity rings that promote no-sex-before-marriage.

But he was forced to admit he'd overstepped the mark after producing a ring and claiming he’d stolen a Jonas Brothers’ virginity.

Fellow purity-ring devotee, Jordan Sparks, gave the comedian a dressing down for his comments, stating: "It's not bad to wear a promise ring because not everybody, guy or girl, wants to be a slut."

Minutes later the MTV host apologised, "I've gotta say sorry because I said those things about promise rings; that was bad of me. I didn't mean to take it lightly."

"I love Jonas Brothers, I think it's (purity) really good. I don't want to piss off teenage fans... Promise rings, I'm well up for it, well done everyone," he added.

But he couldn't resist a final gag, saying, "It's just, a bit of sex occasionally never hurt anybody."

The Jonas Brothers join a host of other stars in our VMAs Red Carpet Round-Up!
Poll  Do you think Jonas Brothers set a good example promoting chastity?

Yes - They are good to look up to

No - It's all fake

    • are you crazy?? he was terrible! none of his jokes were funny, he was rude to half of the celebrities, and everyone i know hated him. then again, this year, the VMAs were terrible to begin with. the stage was small, the awards were un-deserving, and so on. last year's was better.

  • The Jonas Brothers ands Jornan Sparks are holier than thou and use religion to gain popularity and cash. Having a sex life - even as a teenager - does not make one a SLUT Ms. Sparks. I believe it is the endless hype and promotion that of personal beliefs that Mr. Brand was taking the piss out of. Shame on you but thanks for showing us your true twisted ideas about sex. Sad product of anti-sex religions are sad.

    • The Jonas Brothers are absolutely wonderful! They don't flaunt the fact that they wear purity rings - others do. They rarely talk about it. If that’s their cause, more power to them. Setting an example that will prevent unwanted pregnancies, aids, and other sexually transmitted diseases is not a bad thing. When 2 virgins marry, they NEVER give each other diseases - as long as they remain faithful. There's something very special about that and few experience it. Don't be judgmental.

    • I am morally convinced that its your ideas about sex that is twisted. Lets not talk about religion here. You think you are a real man having sex to anyone anytime? NO YOU MAKE YOURSELF A DOG. DOG DOES IT ANYTIME ANYWHERE EVERYWHERE WITH ANYONE of its kind. Why don't you f*** a dog instead since you think same as they do and tell me if Sparks sex conviction is twisted? You slut dog :p

  • First of all everyone can have their own religous beliefs. Just because the Jonas brothers and jordin sparks are trying to promote good moral values to teenagers out there does not make them weird or uncool. Russell brand is at fault here. Celebrities like russell brand are also the people who are making fun of teenagers for getting pregnant at the age of 16. So now it is wrong to NOT have sex??? I really hope that at next years VMA awards, MTV considers a better role model for the job.

  • props to jordan and jo bros! pre marital sex is not right if you are religious and they obviously are so leave them alone! and haveing a sex life in early teens is unneccessary and DOES make you a slut. And i dont think it was appropriate for brand to bring up.

  • Russell Brand should go dig a hole, jump in it, cover himself with dirt and die! I honestly wanna shoot him! AMEN Jordan! Thanks for speaking up! There is nothing wrong with being pure! It's actually God's wish that we wait until you're married to have sex and I don't think it's right that they are being made fun of for that!! That man is a piece of CRAP! SHAME ON HIM!

    • ok, so you think having sex before marriage is wrong, but wanting to shoot someone is ok? making a lot of sense there! also why do people think god doesnt want you to have sex before marriage? it doesnt say in the bible and I dont recall him every appearing to tell anyone that.

  • I feel like i am having a Deja Vu!!!! Is it just me or was there another teenager, who said they were going to remain a virgin till marriage? Parents across America were so happy they all rushed out to buy this persons album for their impressionable teenage kids and consequently made her a millionaire? Oh yeah, it was Britney!! And look at her now!! Britney should be charging the Jonas Brothers royalties for that story!!!

  • Russell Brand is hilarious, hes a comic and taking the mick out of a few PERFECT virgin celebs is nothing. It's entertainment. SAFE SEX will not kill you, and in no way did he promote unsafe sex. Russell isnt perfect, but go to Youtube and find out hes a respectful, funny and NICE young man. This controversy hes caused is practically promoting the damn Jonas Brothers anyway. What, theyre too STUPID to have sex SAFELY and RESPONSIBLY so they don't dare do it at all? W/e. Theyre fair game.

  • Wow Mike! Yes, you could get AIDS and die, but then you could get run over by a bus when your crossing the street, so does that mean you don't cross the street? Eh, and use a condom, it's not difficult! What's wrong is kids wearing little rings to let everyone know that they're a virgin like it's some kind of honour badge that makes them better than others, I don't cut about with a t-shirt that list my conquests on it. I'm not saying that people should go about whoring it, but live a little.

  • Oh, I do love Russell Brand. He isn't bad eye candy either. (; "I love Jonas Brothers, I think it's (purity) really good. I don't want to piss off teenage fans... Promise rings, I'm well up for it, well done everyone," he added. Of course he didn't mean a bit of that. :P But he couldn't resist a final gag, saying, "It's just, a bit of sex occasionally never hurt anybody." Definitely. Russell Brand FTW! Okay, now I'm going to go before some Jonas Brothers' teenies

People need to calm down, dont think kids are gonna giving up their virginity coz RB made a joke about it being harmless. If they do, theyre stupider than all of this! :)

  • Lol...they...are...such...LOSERS! First of all they are nothing like gay people because gay people actually HAVE sex lives unlike these Bible boys. It's hilarious just watching them, they are such fake cr*p. Don't know why they wear the rings on their fingers, they could probably fit them somewhere else easier where we wouldn't have to look at them :P
