Russell Brand gave Britney Spears sex advice when they filmed the MTV Video Music Awards together.

The British comedian - who caused outrage when he hosted the prestigious ceremony earlier this month - admits he couldn't resist passing on his bedroom tips to the troubled singer at the event.

Russell Brand has reportedly split from his girlfriend. The 33-year-old British comedian had been dating actress Teresa Palmer, 22, since June but was seen flirting with a journalist at Los Angeles' Four Seasons Hotel - where he was promoting his new film "Bedtime Stories" - Thursday, telling her he was "footloose and fancy free."

A source said: "He gave him number to one pretty journalist with, 'Why Not?' written underneath. He told them all he felt footloose and fancy free."

Victoria Beckham wants her sons to form a boy band. The former Spice Girl would love it if her three boys with soccer star husband David - Brooklyn, nine, Romeo, six, and Cruz, three - to form a pop group called "The Beckham Brothers," just like U.S. sibling sensations the Jonas Brothers.

Speaking at the premiere of their film "Camp Rock" in London Wednesday night, eldest Jonas brother Kevin, 20, revealed how Victoria told him her ambition, saying: "The whole family is amazing. We got the honor to meet them at the Teen Choice Awards. And we met the boys and took pictures with them. And Victoria said the boys wanted to become the Beckham brothers, and so we were like, 'Yes!'"

Jordin Sparks wears a purity ring because she doesn't want to look like a "sl*t." The "American Idol" winner, who wears the band on her left ring finger to show she won't have sex before marriage, has spoken out against promiscuous teenagers.

She said: "I just have one thing to say about promise rings. It's not bad to wear a promise ring, because not everybody - guy or girl - wants to be a sl*t."

Carl Barat has revealed he is winning his battle with alcohol.

The Dirty Pretty Things front-man was hospitalized with pancreatitis - a painful condition which sees the pancreas become inflamed - in June and the illness was attributed to his excessive drinking.
