Jordin has no regrets about lashing out at Brand

Washington (ANI): American Idol winner Jordin Sparks apparently has no regrets about lashing out at MTV Video Music Awards host Russell Brand after he made fun of Jonas Brothers pledge to remain virgins until marriage. "It got to a point where she was so peeved she couldn"t take it anymore. Jordin felt very strongly the issue needed to be addressed and has no regrets saying what she said," Fox quoted a source, as saying.

Representatives for Sparks and Brand did not comment on the matter. Meanwhile, Brand's 'retard cowboy fella' reference towards President George Bush has also outraged numerous disability groups. "We don't think the words retard or retarded should be used in connection with people," Andrew Imparato, the president of the American Association of People with Disabilities, said.

"When either word gets used, we find it offensive, don't think it's funny, and find it similar to the n word in that it has a long and sordid history and does real harm to the people who have carried that label historically," he added.
