Jonas Brothers: Hollywood Virgin Cool

The Jonas Brothers may have taken a verbal beating at the VMAs when host Russell Brand repeatedly poked fun at their promise rings to abstain from sex, but Hollywood didn't take the criticism, um, lying down. First Jordin Sparks (also a proud-to-be virgin who sports a promise ring) got spunky and defended the oh-so-attractive duo when she took the mic at the night's events. Even Paris Hilton jumped to defend the brothers' purity pledge.
Now Dakota Fanning is getting publicity for her promise to skip out on sex (and not pierce her ears, get tattoos or party too hard) 'til her 18th b-day. Looks like plenty of young stars are bringing sexy back -- without the sex!
Not to rain on the virgin parade -- It's nice to to see anyone, especially those in young Hollywood sticking to (and being openly proud of) such strong morals -- but we've seen such public promises go south before. What do you think? Would you wear a promise ring?
