NEW YORK (AP) – The secret to Grammy-winning hip-hop? Maybe it’s the veggies. Andre 3000 of OutKast has been voted the “World’s Sexiest Vegetarian” in PETA’s annual online poll. He shares the honor with actress Alicia Silverstone.

More than 12,000 votes were cast in the annual contest run by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. Results were released last week.

Previous winners include Tobey Maguire, Lauren Bush and Shania Twain.

Silverstone and Andre 3000 beat out other contenders not known for their eating habits: John Cleese, Prince and “Weird Al” Yankovic.

Andre, 30, is the flashier side of the hip-hop duo OutKast.

OutKast’s hip-hoppy jive won three trophies at the 2004 Grammy Awards: best urban-alternative performance for “Hey Ya!” and best rap album and overall album of the year for “Speakerboxxx/The Love Below.” It was the first rap album to win most of the awards in top categories.

Silverstone, 27, has starred in films including “Clueless” and “Batman & Robin.”
