Peta reports: Coldplay crooner Chris Martin
and singer Joss Stone have been voted the "World's Sexiest Vegetarians"
in peta2's online poll. After thousands of votes were cast at peta2.com,
Chris and Joss narrowly edged out a host of other famous vegetarians, including
Fall Out Boy's Andy Hurley, Reese Witherspoon, Good Charlotte's Benji Madden,
Avril Lavigne, Phantom Planet's Alexander Greenwald, and R&B artist
Erykah Badu.
Chris Martin and wife Gwyneth Paltrow are
known for their love of vegan cuisine, and they made international headlines
recently when they gave daughter Apple a vegan birthday cake from Moby's
New York eatery "teany." And it's no wonder that 18-year-old soul superstar
Joss Stone, whose heart-healthy vegetarian diet keeps her fit and full
of energy, is winning hearts everywhere she goes. The complete list of
more than 180 vegetarian celebs who were in the running in this year's
poll is available at peta2.com. - Click
