The Jonas Brothers: Heading into Sunday night's VMAs, one could never have predicted that The Jonas Brothers would end up central to the ceremony's only real controversy; and yet, thanks to Russell Brand's purity-tweaking jokes and Jordin Sparks's impassioned tirade against sluts, there they found themselves. Would the squeaky-clean trio retaliate by wagging their ringed fingers in Brand's face, or would they take Courtney Love's colorful advice to sample "some pussy and some cock and shut the hell up"? According to the BBC, they chose a different route, claiming to be fans of Brand (thanks to his last Conan O'Brien appearance) and giving him some pointers on pleasing the fickle American audience:Band member Nick Jonas told Newsbeat: "For us it's cool to see that he recognises we are gentlemen."...The question is, did Brand misjudge the audience?Kevin Jonas replied: "I think he focussed on certain things and didn't move off of them. People's attention spans in America need more than that." We'd crack a joke about Kevin's low estimation of our attention spans, but we already forgot what we were going to say. No matter, as Brand seems to have taken the criticism to heart, according to Rolling Stone's backstage account:“And I'd like to take this opportunity to say, -No one ever have sex again. It's a mad idea. What a crazy way to spend an evening.' ” Brand said he had a “lovely time” hosting the awards. “I do think it was a comeback for Britney,” he said. “This is the resurrection of Britney Spears. I saw stigmata. And, I liked when Lil Wayne leaned over and touched my legs. I think he might be from another world and he has a message for us all.” Brand also called Republicans “evil” and suggested “we need to return to socialism.”While we can't imagine why Brand saved his Socialist jokes until the ceremony was concluded, we feel moved to defend the comedian; without his bluntly political jokes and sexual mockery, the show might as well have aired on the Disney channel. If MTV has to make stars out of clean-cut teens, we'd prefer them to be "not that innocent" and prone to writhing around with big, phallic snakes.[Photo Credit: AP]Jonas Brothers react to Brand [BBC]Backstage at the VMAs: Britney Basks in Her Wins, Brand Condemns Sex, Linkin Park Rate the Night [Rolling Stone] Read full story at defamer.com

MTV VMA’s cut Sarah and Bristol Palin Slut joke
Russell revealed: “MTV told me they want me to do it again. Afterwards they were really thrilled. There was a 20 per cent increase in viewers from last year’s show and wow, isn’t life exciting.” Russell’s savage comic tongue lashed Republicans, MADONNA, THE JACKSON 5 and in particular clean-cut pop trio The Jonas Brothers in an opening monologue that made its mark on the Yanks.
