Coldplay Vs Radiohead For World's Sexiest Vegetarian

added 20 June 2005 at 14.50

Forget the album charts or the hard fought ‘Biggest Band In The World’ title, some of the world’s most famous musicians, including Thom Yorke, Chris Martin and Anthony Kiedis, are up against each other for the title of World's Sexiest Vegetarian.

Oh yes, this is the poll the world’s biggest acts have been waiting for. Forget about creating a truly legendary and emotionally resonant album attempting to publicise the plight of the
world’s starving millions in the medium of song, as PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) have launched their fifth annual poll to find out the world’s sexiest vegetarian. 

As such there's many a famous mung bean muncher from the world of music in the list with Andre 3000, Red Hot Chili Peppers’ Anthony Kiedis, Bryan Adams, Chris Martin, Damon Albarn, Eddie Vedder, Moby, Morrissey, Paul McCartney, Perry Farrell, Prince, Thom Yorke and Kenny 'Dangerzone' Loggins all go head-to-head for the title.

But there's some names for the boys too, as you’ll be able to vote in the Girls category for a myriad of hotties like Avril Lavigne, The Pretenders’ Chrissie Hynde, Erykah Badu, Brigitte Bardot (?), the appropriatly named Fiona Apple, Annie Lennox, Joan Jett, k.d. lang, Natalie Imbruglia, Pamela Anderson, Thora Birch and Sadie Bloody Frost.

As a statement on the PETA website explains, “Vegetarians are sprouting up all over Hollywood! Going green is all the rage among the red carpet set, as more and more celebs are embracing broccoli and giving beef the boot. It’s no easy task to narrow the list of vegetarian delights to just one vegetarian Venus or Valentino, after all, what’s sexier than someone  who exudes both passion and compassion?”

Indeed.

Cast your vote today for the World’s Sexiest Vegetarians by clicking here and the winner will be announced in July.
