Kristen Wiig And Russell Brand Declared "Sexy Vegetarians" By PETA

This year's Sexiest Vegetarians have been declared by PETA, with both "celebrity" and "vegetarian next door" winners. The big names this year are Russell Brand and Kristen Wiig, who are taking over the spots from last year's winners: Bob Harper (The Biggest Loser trainer) and Olivia Wilde.

The animal rights organization notes that the two "have captured the hearts of many with their comedic charm and compassionate choices." Wiig keeps to a strict diet, eating mostly tofu, soy, and cranberry juice (though allows one day a week to indulge in chocolate treats and "hot, melted cheesy sandwiches"). Brand has been a vegetarian since the age of 14! And told PETA, "You shouldn't eat animals, it's mean to them."

Mean people suck - especially the marrow from innocent slaughtered animals.

I don't think brand munches the rug, he is in a sham marriage with katy perry; wiig - I dunno, I could believe she's a rug-muncher... oh snap, vegetarians... NOT vagitarians... my bad

You know what's healthy? A balanced diet that includes meats AND veggies.

That's the best they got? Geezuz...Brand looks like a homeless drug addict, and Wiig is a zero. PETA...People Eating Tasty Animals.

Meat eaters are fat.

So are vegetarians. What's you point?

Sounds like someone is bigoted against larger people. Take your hatred elsewhere, you phony!

Yes, but if they gave an award for "Funny Vegetarians" only Kristen would receive it.

Danny DeVito is funny
William Shatner is unintentional hilarious.

HughGass

vegetarians fart a lot, combine that with a vegetarian who smokes, and you've got somebody with a stinky pussy who farts a lot. MMMM...... attractive. No wonder they're single.

ANGRYGOD11

Brand is married.
Wiig is divorced, but so are a few zillion meat-eaters.

lOL, meat eaters have the biggest bellies and look disgusting and smell disgusting. I am skinny and ladies find skinny men sexy and vegans taste better.

Guest

As usual, you're completely wrong. Vegans who are malnourished, as so many are, have the biggest bellies. Also, ladies don't find your over-inflated ego sexy, that's for sure. And, I guess PETA doesn't care that Brand and Wiig wear leather belts and leather shoes because PETA is one of the most hypocritical companies on the planet. But you don't care because so are you.

You know, if PETA put the same amount of money that they put into the PR as they do, as, oh, I don't know, HELPING ANIMALS... things actually might get done.
