London, Sept 7 (ANI): English comedian Russell Brand has promised to avenge pop princess Britney Spears for calling him names - by trying to pinch her at the MTV Video Music Awards.

Brand had been called Russell Brown by Spears in a TV promo for the awards.

I know at some point I will try to pinch her, the Sun quoted him as saying.

The actor has also been practising some of his moves on American pop/R and B singer Christina Aguilera, and is planning to have a go at the pop trio The Jonas Brothers.

Those three lads with virginity rings - if by the end of the evening I've not got them hanging around my neck I will consider my job not properly done, he added. (ANI)
