American Idol, Kellie Pickler Jumps on the Vegetarian Bandwagon

Kellie Pickler, the former American Idol contestant has recently announced that she is now a vegetarian.

Kellie, who is a country-girl at heart had this to say:

"Most country girls do like their meat!" she goes on, "I used to eat steak rare all the time. I'd just throw it on the grill for two seconds, flip it over and it was done and everyone was like, 'That's so gross - that thing is still moving!'"

Ew, that's pretty extreme.  The country-music/ American Idol isn't alone.  Carrie Underwood, who is also a former Idol contestant has been crowned "world' sexiest female celebrity vegetarian" twice in the last four years.  Pickler says her decision was met with initial skepticism from Underwood, but since becoming a vegetarian five months ago, Pickler says that Underwood is "proud" of her.  Read more here.
