Russell Brand and Kristen Wiig Named PETA's Sexiest Vegetarians

The winners of PETA's annual Sexiest Vegetarians contest this year are two funny stars who generally take things lightly -- except for maybe their stance against eating meat. Hardcore veggie-lovers Russell Brand and Kristen Wiig were given the honor this year, beating out other hot stars like Natalie Portman, Joaquin Phoenix, and Olivia Wilde!)Russell has been a vegetarian since the age of 14, and told Kelly Ripa on her talk show recently that he's not even a fan of fish oil, which helps keep your brain sharp. "I'm vegetarian. I think it's cruel to squeeze oil out of a fish… Cause they're lovely little guys, aren't they?," he said (via Us magazine). "You shouldn't eat animals, it's mean to them." 

Kristen, who most recently tore up the big screen inBridesmaids, says not eating meat helps her stay fit. A healthy diet of tofu and soy, along with yoga and running, keeps the 37-year-old slim and trim.

Last year's Sexiest Vegetarians were Olivia Wilde and Biggest Loser trainer Bob Harper.
