Jordin Sparks - no sex before marriage
Jordin Sparks wears a purity ring because she doesn't want to look like a "sl*t".
The 'American Idol' winner, who wears the band on her left ring finger to show she won't have sex before marriage, has spoken out against promiscuous teenagers.
She said: "I just have one thing to say about promise rings. It's not bad to wear a promise ring, because not everybody - guy or girl - wants to be a sl*t."
Jordin, 18, made the passionate speech at the MTV Video Music Awards in Los Angeles last night (07.09.08), after the show's host Russell Brand ridiculed the Jonas Brothers for wearing purity rings.
The British comic, who claimed the young musicians should be using their celebrity status to date, later apologised for his comments, saying: "I didn't meant to take it lightly. I don't want to p**s off teenage fans."
He added cheekily: "Promise rings, I'm well up for it. But a bit of sex, it never hurt anybody."
Earlier this year, Jordin was romantically linked to R'n'B singer-songwriter Steph Jones.
Russell Brand gives Britney sex advice
Russell Brand gave Britney Spears sex advice when they filmed the MTV Video Music Awards together.
The British comedian – who caused outrage when he hosted the prestigious ceremony earlier this month – admits he couldn’t resist passing on his bedroom tips to the troubled singer at the event.
He said: 'I did describe one very basic sexual technique to Britney, which I think she would have hugely benefited from. But I wasn't able to demonstrate, so it was a dismal failure.'
Last week, the pair enjoyed a dinner date together, sparking rumours they had started a relationship.
Russell – who starred in 'Forgetting Sarah Marshall’ and can soon be seen in Adam Sandler’s movie 'Bedtime Stories’ – also revealed the differences between British and US audiences.
He added to Rolling Stone magazine: 'When an English journalist asks that question, they want me to go, 'American audiences are stupid.’ But that is not what I've found. I made a documentary about Jack Kerouac a year ago, and travelling across America I met people that look like slack-jawed, gap-toothed hillbillies. I thought, 'This'll be a laugh.’
'But when I went to talk to them, they talked about Noam Chomsky, the Federal Reserve, the worthlessness of the dollar — there was unbelievable awareness. A mistake that I will never make is to forget that there is a distinction between American foreign policy and the American people.'
Katy Perry kisses another girl
Katy Perry kissed a girl on Wednesday night (24.09.08). The singer – who shot to fame with her catchy single 'I Kissed a Girl’ – copied her song by locking lips with a female friend, believed to be Stine Bramsen, the lead singer of Danish pop band Alphabeat.
The clinch took place at a party following Katy’s performance at London club Scala.
Katy – who was wearing a royal blue minidress and rose-patterned tights – hit the dancefloor with her blonde pal at the Ruby Lounge venue as soon as she arrived.
The 23-year-old star’s boyfriend Travis McCoy recently banned her from kissing any women, insisting he should be the only one she smooches.
The same sex smooch comes after Alphabeat recently revealed their recent hit single 'Boyfriend’ is actually about lesbians.
Singer Anders SG said: 'It's actually inspired by a Swedish film about two lesbians. They're teenagers and it's a story about them discovering love and how they feel about other girls.'
