The results are in—country darling Kellie Pickler and Heroes heartthrob Milo Ventimiglia have been voted the Sexiest Vegetarians Alive!
Pickler originally stopped eating animals last year for health reasons. Then she found our videos online, and the rest is history. A reformed rare-steak lover, the American Idol alum told People Magazine, "One night I couldn't sleep and I was up just Googling random stuff and I'm like, 'Hmmm, PETA.' I saw all the videos and I just thought it was horrible. It's animal cruelty. A lot of it has to do with knowing what happens to the animals and it really bothered me and so I will not eat meat."
Long before he began causing hearts to pound as Peter Petrelli on Heroes, Ventimiglia was turning heads with his portrayals of dark and brooding bad boys on shows like Gilmore Girls and American Dreams and in Fergie's steamy "Big Girls Don't Cry" video. A lifelong vegetarian, Ventimiglia recently stated that he was even "vegetarian in the womb," and he's living proof that you can grow up healthy, happy, and hot without consuming flesh.
Curious about who the international winners are? Australian native Portia de Rossi heads up the list of sexy vegetarians around the globe. Read more about them on the PETA Files.
Whether they chose to go vegetarian to improve their health, help end climate change, or avoid contributing to the inexcusable cruelty to animals on factory farms and in slaughterhouses, one thing's for sure: All the vegetarian celebrities have won our hearts and the hearts of animals.
So what about you? If you're ready to help animals and the environment, improve your health, and become as sexy as our winners, it's time to Pledge to Be Veg for 30 days.
