Coldplay lead singer Chris Martin has been named one of the "World's Sexiest Vegetarians" in a poll conducted by a US animal rights group, officials said this week. The British husband of Hollywood movie siren Gwyneth Paltrow joined the winner of the American Idol television talent show, Carrie Underwood, at the top of an online poll of more than 13,000 people conducted by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA). Martin, 28, and Underwood narrowly edged out other non meat-eating celebrities including X-Files star David Duchovny, Legally Blonde actress Reese Witherspoon, British singer Joss Stone, and actor Joaquin Phoenix.
