Comedian and actor Russell - who has been meat free since he was 14 - and the 37-year-old ‘Saturday Night Live’ star topped the annual poll by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA). Congratulating the winners, the PETA website stated: "These sexy veggie-loving celebs have captured the hearts of many with their comedic charm and compassionate choices. "Both of these hilarious hotties know that there`s nothing funny about the abuse endured by animals raised for food on factory farms. These sexy stars prove that being vegetarian helps a person shine from the inside out." When once asked by a TV host if he used fish oil as a way of staying alert, Russell, 36, quipped: "I`m vegetarian. I think it`s cruel to squeeze oil out of a fish -because they`re lovely little guys, aren`t they? "You shouldn`t eat animals; it`s mean to them!" Kristen is also a devout vegetarian, and keeps to a strict diet, although she allows herself one day a week to indulge, and loves to eat Dark Chocolate Peanut M&Ms, lemon cupcakes, and "hot, melted cheesy sandwiches." She explained: "I eat a lot of tofu and soy. I drink a lot of water, and I`m addicted to cranberry juice. "I do have a splurge day once a week when I can eat whatever I want. It`s good, because it helps you stay on track the rest of the week." Russell and Kirsten replace last year`s winners, actress Olivia Wilde and celebrity fitness trainer Bob Harper.
