Sunday night, Britain’s own comedian Russell Brand hosted MTV’s Video Music Awards. Brand had formally worked as a VJ for MTV, but was fired after coming to work dressed as Osama Bin Laden.
Brand, who had already been beating on touchy subjects such as politics, soon began on the Jonas Brothers. Nick, Joe, and Kevin Jonas, whose concerts have sold out in minutes, wear promise rings as a commitment to themselves to remain virgins until marriage. And Brand used the topic as the source for many of his jokes.
Paris Hilton, who attended and has a new show coming “BFF,” came forward about the act. She stated, “I think that they’re all really good kids and that they’re definitely our next generation of kids and they’re all really good so I think that’s awesome.”
Commenting on the rings further, Miss Hilton said, “I don’t pick on them. That’s something cool for a kid to keep, so don’t pick on them for that.”
Nonetheless, she still remains a loyal fan of Brand after his remarks, going on to say, “I think he was really good. He was funny. I’ve met him before in London. He’s very nice and he did and incredible job tonight. It’s cool to have a British accent at the awards.”
Also of note, Miss Hilton was crossing her fingers for her past friend Britney Spears, and was even able to award her a Moonman. When the two saw each other, Hilton said, “I love you, I miss you, so good to see you.”
Continuing on about Britney, Paris added, “She looked beautiful. I’m so happy for her. She definitely deserves it.”
