Singer-songwriter Nick Jonas says it's a 'compliment' to be made fun of by comedian Russell Brand. Nick, a member of pop group The Jonas Brothers alongside his brothers Kevin, 21, and Joe, 20, has said the band won't be attending the MTV VMA's this year but that's not because Russell Brand is hosting the show.

The boys were the subject of jokes made by the Brit for wearing purity rings and remaining virgins back in 2008, but they don't mind Brand taking the mick and Nick says he wouldn't mind too much if the comedian does it again. The 16-year-old told the BBC: "As far as his comments were concerned, what we said from the beginning was that he seemed to run out of material - but if we're the butt of his jokes, it's kind of a compliment in a bizarre way." Nick thinks Russell will do a great job when he hosts the award ceremony for the second year running. He said "We hope he has a good time this year." Some of the acts set to perform are Green Day and Pink.
