Katy Perry may have covered "Like A Virgin" at the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards, but Jordin Sparks was living it -- loudly. Attending the show for the first time, the American Idol winner went off-script after being agitated by host Russell Brand's repeated mocking of the Jonas Brothers' promise rings. "It's something I feel strongly about," she tells EW.com. "I wish I would've worded it differently -- that somebody who doesn't wear a promise ring isn't necessarily a slut -- but I can't take it back now. It was a split-second thing, and it came out kind of wrong. Still, I don't regret it." Neither do the Jonas sibs, who complimented Sparks moments after the rant. As for Brand, he and Sparks shared a laugh after the show. "I have nothing against him at all," says the singer, who insists sheâs not turned off by the experience. In fact, she'd happily go back. That is, "If I get an invite."
