Those adorably violent animal lovers over at PETA have temporarily ceased from attacking fur-toting starlets with tomatoes to round up their nominees for this year’s Sexiest Vegetarian award. And judging by the list of potential winners, it seems that granola-loving male celebrities are seriously lacking in the “sexy” department as compared to their female counterparts. Herbivores like Naomi Watts and Natalie Portman are listed among the ladies, whereas guyliner fans, racist talk show hosts and '80s heartthrob-turned-has-beens make up the majority of the male contenders. We take a closer look at the uneven distribution after the jump.

Though Woody Harrelson, his buns of steel, and the very edible Justin Theroux do bring a bit of heat to the male vegetarian crowd, they hardly make up for the presence of Don Imus and Bob Barker, who would make far more appropriate candidates for the Hottest Sexist Vegetarian list. As much as we love and adore Peter Dinklage, we don't exactly fantasize about sipping tofu shakes with him in bed. Grouped with Serious Method Actor Jared Leto and failed comeback kid Corey Feldman, the full list (in its entirety here) isn't inspiring us to convert to nuts and berries any time soon.

Don Imus is a vegetarian? Huh. That is not something I would have predicted.
Needless to say, very much not sexy.
James Cromwell? Steve Jobs? Dennis Kucinich?
I call shenanigans. That's not so much a list of potential sexiest vegetarians as it is one of "Any Herbivore with the Slightest Bit of Visibility that PETA Could Dig Up." Doesn't quite roll off the tongue, though.
What the hell?
Dinklage is hot. I mean that sincerely.
@major disaster: Don Imus, Napa (cabbage) headed!
Corey Feldman eats meat
{nudge-nudge wink wink)
but doesn't swallow
Where the hell is Morrissey?
@crackbabyjesus: Good question.
Looks like I'm going to have to cleanse my palette with a big plate of meat and then wash it down with a nice frosty glass of meat juice because these pictures left a whole lot of nasty up in my mouth.
I'm with brilliantmistake. Team Dinklage all the way!
RE: the middle photo...
Elaine Stritch* is a vegetarian? Who knew??
*my apologies to all fans of Elaine Stritch everywhere
@ClipOnGirl: Shamefully, the only thing I know him from is Elf. Now that Dudley Moore's gone, does this guy qualify for his vacant Sex Thimble throne?
Molly, I would totally sip tofu shakes in bed with Peter Dinklage. And by tofu shakes, I mean kinky, kinky sex.
He's hot. And short. Like an espresso. Like a sexy espresso.
Dang it! One year I will make the list.
I might not win, but as we know, it's an honor just to be nominated.
And go to the Vanity Fair afterparty.
@crackbabyjesus: Morrissey is on the list, as are Jason Schwartzman, Casey Affleck, Joaquin Phoenix, and plenty more guys more attractive than the ones Defamer pulled out.
Still, why can't I meet a guy who's vegetarian and not a big damaged weird loser?
Are they making a distinction between people who eat vegetables and vegetarians here? because I call bullshit on Alec Baldwin being a herbivore. You don't bloat up like that on a dier of grains and leafy greens.
Steve Jobs works for me, but the rest of them?
BTW, it's time for my tiresome "all cigarettes are tested on animals, hypocrites!" speech. Sorry, it's a compulsion due to months of being victimized by vegans when I worked at Greenpeace.
On a slightly related note, do PETA chicks give head? This PETA babe wants me to give up burgers and I don't know her well enough to just ask her, you know, if she is going to be worth the trouble. I suppose we could work a trade...
@friendslikeJimRome: Well, duh, they don't swallow!
