RUSSELL BRAND - BELL UPSET ABOUT BRAND'S SEXY VEGETARIAN TITLE

HEROES star KRISTIN BELL enjoyed a little 'healthy' competition with her new movie lover RUSSELL BRAND - after realising they had both been named the sexiest vegetarians. Bell and Brand discovered they have a lot in common while they were making new comedy Forgetting Sarah Marshall. But the actress was left sore when she realised she was sharing a coveted People For The Ethical Treatment Of Animals (PETA) honour with her co-star. She tells WENN, "Russell has been a vegetarian for the same amount of time as me. "I've been a vegetarian for 17 years and we used to have little arguments because we were both dubbed Sexiest Vegetarian In The World. "But I checked out the record books and his is only Sexiest Vegetarian in the U.K. I politely threw that in his face for most of the movie. "He got to throw it back at me when I lost my title this year to Carrie Underwood and he kept his title in the U.K. So that's what I get for getting cocky about eating sexy vegetables!" The pair also shared a love of yoga, which came in useful for their love-making scenes. Bell explains, "We were thrown into a room six days after we met and they said, 'Go into the hotel bedroom and find 10 different awkward sexual positions.' Russell and I both do yoga so we were like, 'OK this is what I do for a living, let's go!'"
