Russell Brand has revealed that he would like to record a duet with the Jonas Brothers for Christmas 2009.

The comedian apologised to the band in September after mocking their stance on abstinence at the MTV Video Music Awards.

He has now revealed that a Christmas single with the group is among his plans for next year, telling MTV: "I want to learn more about American cultural holidays. I'm going to have the best Thanksgiving ever.

"I also want to make sure [movie Get Him To The Greek] is a triumph and that any further work I do with MTV is a success. And then perhaps a Christmas song with the Jonas Brothers."

Brand added that he harbours no ill-will against the US band, saying: "I haven't seen them [since the VMAs] but I love them little guys. I've got nothing against the Jonas Brothers as a concept. I love the idea."
