They may be worlds apart musically, but Leona Lewis and Red Hot Chili Peppers' frontman Anthony Kiedis do have something in common - they've been voted PETA Europe's World's Sexiest Vegetarians.

The pop princess and the rocker beat off competition from Hayden Panettiere, Natalie Imbruglia, Casey Affleck, Milo Ventimiglia and Russell Brand.

The former X Factor winner is a woman of action when it comes to animal abuse.

"I am vegetarian so I don't have clothes, shoes or bags made from leather or suede, or any animal products," she explained. "I'm on a mission. I am totally against animal cruelty."

Vegetarian since the 80s, the 45-year-old lead singer of the rock band recently went vegan after learning about the worldwide depletion of fish in the oceans, and after a doctor recommended a healthy vegan diet for his eight-month-old son, Everly Bear.

"Soon after I went vegan, I saw some documentary footage of what happens in the factory farming of cows. It sealed the deal," he said.

Russell Brand and Fiona Phillips were last year's winners.
