Oh no... Which star is doing a Britney?

Remember the days when Britney Spears was a hero for the True Love Waits pro-chastity movement? Ha! It seems totally ridiculous now, doesn't it? She's a mum now and everything. It was actually a whole five years ago when Britney finally admitted she wasn't a virgin, and now a new young music star has risen up to steal her pro-chastity crown. American Idol winner Jordin Sparks is the latest starlet to proclaim her virginity, and the star is even wearing a purity ring to show off her dedication to her Christian beliefs. Jordin said, "I don't want to give away bits of my soul to lots of different guys – I want to give all of myself to the right man on the right night, and the right night is my wedding." That all sounds very sweet and admirable, but we're struggling to take it seriously after the whole Britney thing. Jordin went on to protest, "I really can't see myself breaking my vow. My family would never let me get out of line and run wild." The 18-year-old singing sensation has followed in the footsteps of Miley Cyrus and The Jonas Brothers, who have all promised to stay pure for their faith. We think this is all great and everything, but it almost seems like speaking out about it like this is tempting fate a bit. Are we just cynical old trouts, or are you reading this with an eyebrow raised, too?
