New York - Country singer Carrie
Underwood was crowned the world's sexiest vegetarian for the
second time after an online poll by an animal rights group.
Over 110 000 votes were cast in a month-long poll by People
for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (Peta) which put the
Grammy-winning Underwood at the top of the annual list.
Underwood also won the contest in 2005.
Underwood, 24, came to fame after winning the hit TV singing
contest American Idol two years ago.
Joined by guitarist Kevin Eubanks
Peta said in a statement that she was joined at the top of
the list by the lesser known Kevin Eubanks, 49, a guitarist who
leads the show band on TV's Tonight Show hosted by Jay Leno.
Other runners-up include actors Joaquin Phoenix, Milo
Ventimiglia, Kristen Bell, Bryce Dallas Howard and Jared Leto.
Previous winners of Peta's World's Sexiest Vegetarian
contest include singer Prince, actresses Natalie Portman and
Alicia Silverstone, country singer Shania Twain, Coldplay lead
singer Chris Martin, Spider-Man actor Tobey Maguire, actor Josh
Hartnett and model Lauren Bush.
