Just what the world needs; more Hollywood awards. PETA honors the hottest meatless celebs with its second annual Sexiest Vegetarian Contest. Past winners were Carrie Underwood and Prince. This year the competition is fierce! A few of the female green-bodied stars vying for the title are Natalie Portman, Alicia Silverstone, and Pamela Anderson. As for the guys – Paul McCartney, Michael Stipe, and Tobey McGuire are all up for the honor. Cast your vote at PETA and feed us your thoughts here at treehugger.com. Check out more eco-stars, like Kristan Davis, John Mayer, and Jenny McCarthy after the jump. Via: In Touch Weekly Kudos to power couple Jenny McCarthy and Jim Carrey who will lead Wednesday's Green Our Vaccines rally in DC. Their goal is to demand a safer vaccine supply and schedule for children. "This day will go down in history as time when parents' voices and their message to change the vaccine program was finally heard and acted upon," says Jenny. via: Safe Vaccines POSH DIGS FOR CHARITY GOLD: Pouty Posh is well-known for her ridiculously skimpy outfits and her gorgeous husband, David Beckham. Now, she wants to be a charity girl (good luck)! The oh-so generous Posh wants to raise 2 million dollars from auctioning off six of her Roberto Cavalli designed gowns. The money raised goes to a children's charity. The only hitch: who can fit into her super teeny size "0" clothes?

KRISTAN DAVIS' ECO-FRIENDLY WHEELS: 
This SATC cutie shows off the all right “eco-moves”. Kristan drove up to the movie’s LA premiere in a BMW Hydrogen 7 – the world’s first hydrogen powered everyday car.
OWN SARAH JESSICA PARKER'S WARDROBE: 
…SJP’s massive salary (once reported at $38 million/yr) is just one perk of the job – there’s also the endless supply of designer freebies. Lucky for some NYC gals – this fashion vixen spring cleans her closet the eco-way. The 43-year-old star drops off bags full of brand-new, unworn clothes, including Marc Jacob purses and Fred Segal jeans, at the NYC consignment shop Ina.
JENNY MCCARTHY GREENS YOUR MEDS
JOHN MAYER RECYCLES: 
Another reason to crush on John Mayer. The singer recycles his guitar strings into wearable art, then donates them to the wear your music project, which makes bracelets out the strings and then donates proceeds to John’s favorite charity. Both Cameron Diaz and Lindsay Lohan own Mayer’s guitar string bands.

What about Sarah Chalke??
Boooooo!
Jenny McCarthy needs to stop spreading the falsehood about vaccines and autism.
Why are we celebrating pretentious people who show off with products? "Green," yes, so what? This is not how you solve the ecological problems. We need to be fewer people and consume LESS, not MORE.
KRISTAN DAVIS' ECO-FRIENDLY WHEELS: The same car TH bashed for greenwashing.
And we're supposed to be interested in celebrity vegetarians because......?
I certainly appreciate celebrity efforts at greening up their lives. The problem is - it is still necessary to be financial well off to afford most of the items celebrities are advertising. When I see more tax credits to manufacturers to make their products more affordable, more tax credits to help regular folks pay for green items, I will feel better about the future of our planet.

Keira Knightley is the only hot one on the list. What about all the insects we have to kill so that people can eat their veggies & how about all the germs we kill every day when we brush our teeth?
Something to think about!
1. The title is misleading -- vegetarianism isn't synonymous with eco-conscious living.
2. Who knew that doing one good deed makes you eco-friendly? (auctioning off designer dresses that you've only worn once?)
3. How is protesting the current vaccination policy eco-friendly or vegetarian? (BTW, the link between autism & vaccines is scientifically contrversal and not proven.)
I expect more from TH -- like accuracy regarding REAL eco-practices. Considering the effort that we need to make to reduce our collective footprint, it's false and disingenous to suggest that symbolic acts (at best) by celebrities are examples to live by. Please deliver more accurate, worthly, and informative articles.
With Posh's assets one would think she lives in silicon valley.
i think its a great arcticle on celebritys, its a great way to see how they are turning green and also the whole world is!!! its intersecting and everything its great! i love it, nice job!
That's supposed to be "Kristin", not "Kristan". Thank you.
I love this Column! Always features the best stuff!
My favorite vegetarian artist is Steve Vai. "Always constant, accurate, in-tense!"
A big way celebrities can be more green is to fly less and not drive these huge monstrous SUVs or if they do drive these huge SUVS, the least they can so is spend their money and get them converted over to electric, I'm sure they can find someone.
Im sorry but Treehugger, preaching vegetarianism here is wrong. I am ashamed in this website for posting anything other than sustainability. vegetarianism is not a sustainable, reasonable, or wise use of natural resources. Unless this article was placed on ur website by computer hackers, i no longer see u as a reliable source for sustainability news. thanks
"Vegetarianism is not a sustainable, reasonable, or wise use of natural resources."?! If all humans were vegetarians, we wouldn't be having the climate crisis we're having today. It takes 17 pounds of vegetable protein to create one pound of animal protein; is that a "sustainable, reasonable and/or wise use of natural resources"?! Humans are the only animals on Earth that cook their food in order to eat it; does that seem like the natural order of things? It certainly doesn't to me. That doesn't even take into account the torture and cruelty that is committed to billions of living creatures every day just so humans can indulge their erroneous belief that they need to eat dead flesh in order to survive. Then, there are the health problems that are associated with meat-eating: cardiovascular disease, cancer, etc.
1. Meat tastes great. Especially the game birds that my family raises. Humans are built to eat meat so it seems like a natural thing to do--as long as collectively, we eat meat in moderation.
2. If the celebrities want to go green, that's great!! Whatever it takes to bring attention to the ecological issues that we are facing. Unfortunately the herd pays more attention to celebrities than real life, but at least celebrities can use their star power to influence a wide audience of fans about environmental issues.
none of the people mentioned or pictured are sexy. Okay, maybe Portman.
I'm sorry but be a vegetarion is not healthy. My cousin is one and she used to have energy but now she has absolutely none!
as much as i hate the attention celebrities get, if it were to take jimi hendrix to burn a guitar along with gallons of gas to go on tour and make going green look incredibly trendy, than i'd say its worth it. as much as its hypocritical of the idea, if it changes the lifestyle of thousands if not millions of people to reduce/reuse/recycle than i find it justified. The solution as much as the problem has everything to do with us as a whole.
with that Natalie Portman is beyond beautiful aside from being incredibly intelligent - she gets my vote : )
**Lance armstrong went through a period of being a vegetarian through some really intense training to see how it affected his weight/time/performance. Though he improved on all of the criteria, it was probably from a number of things besides just his diet.
Im 21, haven't been a STRICT vegetarian but i eat meat less than once a week. At first i lost weight, after i reassessed my diet needs i have gained muscle, increased endurance (cycling and running), and i feel more awake.
my theory is it takes less energy to break down carbohydrates and proteins from plants and nuts than meat, and all of those, including vitamins and minerals, are more readily absorbed. - treehugger has a great article about going veg, my decision was based merely out of being curious since im an exercise science major.
Some people do fine on vegan diets
More power to them (maybe 10% of the population at most)
But for the rest of us who bodies don’t do well we need something a bit different...

Vegetarianism is the only way to go. Our bodies are not even made for eating meat - (Our teeth, intestines, digestion and other factors of our body are made for vegetarianism). All the posts about it not being healthy or some other excuse, only apply to the ONE person they know or perhaps themselves - and undoubtedly, they didnt know what to eat.
Only meat eating cultures have heart problems, blood pressure problems, cancer and other diseases that vegetarian societies don't.
