Jordin Sparks: “Not Everyone Wants To Be A Slut!”

By | Reality Rocks – Mon, Sep 8, 2008 2:20 PM EDT

Some people might say host Russell Brand went too far on last night's MTV Video Music Awards, with his constant comments about the Jonas Brothers' famous vow of chastity.

And some people were especially irked by Russell's ridicule of the innocent Jonases' purity rings. America's sweetheart, Jordin Sparks, was possibly the most irked of all. So she felt the need to say something, in what was one of the VMAs' very few unscripted moments:

Now, while I respect Jordin for having an opinion, sticking to her beliefs, and daring to stray from the teleprompter...I do think she went a little too far here. Was she saying that everyone who has premarital sex is a "slut"? Isn't that a tad extreme?

I wonder how single mom and fellow Idol Fantasia would feel about Jordin's judgmental remark.
