Russell Brand is thrilled that Katy Perry will perform Madonna's hit Like A Virgin at the MTV Video Music Awards this Sunday.

The charasmatic comedian expressed his excitement for the I kissed A Girl singer's VMA perfomance debut.

He said, “There is a lot of virginity and lesbianism going on the show.”

Russel also labelled the Jonas Brothers as "God's favourite virgins."

Following Wednesday's big announcement that Britney Spears will be opening the show rumours have surfaced that Kanye West will close the awards - despite last year's promise to never return.
