US hip-hop king Andre 3000 and actress Alicia Silverstone have been voted the World's Sexiest Vegetarians in a poll conducted by an animal rights group, officials said today.
More than 12,000 people cast their votes in the 2004 version of the annual online poll conducted by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) between June 3 and July 13.
The non meat-eating stars beat out competition including moody British singer Morrissey and movie stars Gwyneth Paltrow and Tobey Maguire, who incarnates Spider-Man on screen.
Grammy-winning musician Andre 3000 from the group Outkast said he intended to maintain his vegetarian ways for the rest of his life.
Asked what he would do on his last day on earth, he said: "I'd have sex with a beautiful woman and then go for a great meal-some broccoli probably, because I'm a vegetarian."
Flaxen-haired Silverstone, 27, who shot to fame on the big screen in the 1995 movie Clueless, said her meatless diet had done wonders for her health and her looks.
"Going vegan is the single best thing I've done in my life. I am so much happier and more confident. I made a decision based on my moral beliefs," she said.
Also in the running for the unusual award were teen star Alison Lohman, singer Annie Lennox, Brigitte Bardot, movie star Alec Baldwin, Anthony Kiedis of the pop group Red Hot Chili Peppers and soul icon B B King.
Pearl Harbor and Blackhawk Down star Josh Hartnett and US President George W. Bush's niece Lauren Bush were voted 2003's Sexiest Vegetarians by participants PETA's first online poll last year.
