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.

Beyonce Knowles is "over being a pop star".
The 'Crazy in Love' singer - who shot to fame in hit R'n'B group Destiny's Child - admits she now feels it is time she is considered an "icon" in the music industry.
She said: "I'm over being a pop star. I don't want to be a hot girl. I want to be iconic. And I feel like I've accomplished a lot. I feel like I'm highly respected, which is more important than any award or any amount of records. And I feel like there comes a point when being a pop star is not enough.
"I now think I'm opening doors for more black women, just like Halle Berry and Diana Ross opened doors for me."
Beyonce - who starred in 2006 movie 'Dreamgirls' and can soon be seen portraying legendary singer Etta James in upcoming movie 'Cadillac Records' - also spoke about her alter-ago who she calls 'Sasha', explaining when she acts as 'Sasha' she has a lot more confidence.
She added to Britain's Marie Claire magazine: "Things I do when I am performing I would never do normally. I always wish I could feel the way I do on stage when I'm doing a movie because I have out of body experiences. I'm so fearless."

Lily Allen has revealed her friend was kidnapped and kept in a car boot for six days.
The singer was left 'terrified' by the ordeal and thanked London’s Metropolitan Police for foiling the plot as she co-hosted the GQ Men of the Year awards last night (02.09.08).
Lily, who shared presenting duties with Sir Elton John, said: 'My friend Charlie was kidnapped a few weeks ago and was kept in a car boot for six days without any food or anything. It was really scary.
Thank you to the Met for getting my friend back, we were all terrified. From what I hear, the police did a fantastic job.'
Lily’s friend, only identified as Charlie, and another man - both in their 20s – were working in a West London sports store when armed men allegedly walked in and forced them into a car on August 2.
The kidnappers are said to have demanded a £75,000 ransom from the two men’s families and held them at a property in Thamesmead, South East London.
Lily added: 'He was in a car boot being driven around London before he was found. It was all over money.'
Police have arrested six men in connection with the kidnap plot. Four are charged with conspiracy to kidnap, conspiracy to blackmail and false imprisonment.
