PETA has revealed the winners of its latest Sexiest Vegetarians Contest.

Being sexy, vegetarian and funny must be a likely combination because this year two hilarious television personalities, Kristen Wiig and Russell Brand were crowned Queen and King.

Ironically, SNL star Wiig once starred in a skit mocking vegans. But since she still considers some of her indulgences to be dark chocolate peanut M & M’s and “hot, melty cheesy sandwiches” we guess it’s still okay for her to mock the nut cheese and rice milk fanatics.

“Everyone should dramatically simplify their life and reduce their spending because there’s going to be less expendable income. I’m pretty careful. I drive the cheapest car Nissan makes and I rent a two bedroom apartment in Glendale. What I spend money on is organic, vegan food.”

–Steve-O, to Fox 411 Poptarts.

If you’re the frugal type, you might be interested in knowing that spending your money on “organic, vegan food” like Steve may very well be the best way save a nickel or two. The folks at Good.is–who happen to be doing a 30-day vegetarian challenge–have compared vegan, vegetarian, pescatarian and meat-eating diets in terms of what one might spend on breakfast, lunch and dinner. One day’s worth of meals for a vegan was $11.15, but a meat eater put out a whopping $14.65!  Don’t know about  you, but we can think of plenty of ways to use that extra $3 a day…like spending it on more delicious vegan food.
