Red Hot Chili Peppers - Kiedis Lewis Are Sexiest Veggies

RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS frontman ANTHONY KIEDIS and British pop star LEONA LEWIS have been voted the world's Sexiest Vegetarians.

Tens of thousands of animal lovers voted the pair into the top spots as part of an annual search for veggie vamps and vixens on website PETA.org.

The odd couple came out tops after a month-long People for The Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) poll, beating Forgetting Sarah Marshall co-stars Kristen Bell and Russell Brand and actors Emily Deschanel, Milo Ventimiglia, Casey Affleck, Abbie Cornish and Hayden Panettiere.

A vegetarian since the 1980s, Kiedis recently went vegan after learning about the worldwide depletion of fish in the oceans and after his baby's doctor recommended a healthy vegan diet for the child.

He recently told PETA bosses, "Soon after I went vegan, I saw some documentary footage of what happens in the factory farming of cows... It sealed the deal."

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

Previous winners of PETA's World's Sexiest Vegetarians contest include Carrie Underwood, Prince, Natalie Portman, Shania Twain, Chris Martin, Andre 3000, Tobey Maguire, Josh Hartnett and Alicia Silverstone.

Native American vocalizer Joanne Shenandoah is a member of the Wolf Clan of the Oneida Nation, Iroquois Confederacy. Her parents, Maisie Shenandoah, a Clanmother, and the late Clifford Shenandoah, an Onondaga foreman and jazz guitarist, loved music and named Joanne "Tek-ya-wha-wha," which means "she sings" in the Oneida language. As a child, Joanne learned all the tribal songs and studied voice, transverse flute, piano, clarinet, guitar, and violoncello. She draws upon her rich inheritance, so far hind end bring these songs into a modern-day mise en scene.


In 1994, Shenandoah panax quinquefolius at the Woodstock Festival and has appeared on and created healthy tracks for numerous television shows, most notably Northern Exposure and How the West Was Lost. She has performed and recorded with many realized musicians in Europe and America, including pianist/composer Peter Kater, Neil Young, Kris Kristofferson, Willie Nelson, Jackson Browne, and Rita Coolidge. From traditional chants to contemporaneous ballads of Native slipway, her music has been described as an emotional experience, a "Aboriginal American trance."


Shenandoah is the cofounder and president of Round Dance Productions, a not-for-profit educational Native-operated foundation dedicated toward the preservation of Iroquois culture. Round Dance has begun to initiate activities which will consequence in the instauration of a Native American traditional music archive, playacting arts centre, and recording studio. In 1993, Shenandoah was prestigious with the "Native American of the Year" award, and the future year she was awarded "Native Musician of the Year," from the First Americans in the Arts Foundation. Shenandoah has recorded on the Canyon Records and Silver Wave Records labels since then, delivering a sometimes patched simply always reliable array of Native American music. Highlights of her catalog include 1997's strong and solemn Matriarch: Iroquois Women's Songs and 2001's politically motivated Eagle Cries.
