PETA poll chooses Princeas 'sexiest vegetarian'
NEW YORK -- Prince has been voted the "world's sexiest vegetarian" in PETA's annual online poll, the animal rights group announced Monday.
A strict vegan, Prince, 47, wrote in the liner notes of his 1999 album, "Rave Un2 the Joy Fantastic," about the ills behind wool production. He closed the disc with a quote from Mohandas Gandhi: "2 my mind, the life of a lamb is no less precious than that of a human being."
Prince released his latest album, "3121," in March.
He shares the honor with Kristen Bell, the 25-year-old star of "Veronica Mars," which is being carried over from UPN to the new CW network this fall.
