Why? The Jonas Brother, rather Christianly (if that’s a word), turned the other cheek when Russell Brand famously mocked their purity rings at last year’s VMAs, calling his jokes “hilarious” – albeit through gritted teeth.

So, the news that Russ has been drafted in to host the awards again this year shouldn’t cause them too much grief, especially after Russ’s sincere apology.

After the MTV spokesdude revealed, “We are thrilled that despite numerous death threats from Jonas Brothers fans, Russell Brand has accepted our offer to put his life on the line and host the VMA’s again this year,” Russ added his few fils worth.

After saying there were no hard feelings, Russ said, “I want them to play at my wedding, which, if there’s any justice in the world, will be to one of them. One of the older ones.” Ha ha ha!
