Andre Benjamin, a.k.a. Andre 3000 of OutKast, is a vegan, and a famous one. Apparently, according to the New York Post, the rapper and actor was named "sexiest male vegetarian" by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. But wait, what's that thing hanging from his belt? Why, it's a genuine gray wolf's tail he picked up in Canada.
Apparently opposed to eating animals, Benjamin seems to have no problem wearing them. Never mind, by the way, that the gray wolf is considered an endangered species in the United States. And it gets better. Benjamin, currently starring in the movie "Four Brothers" with Mark Wahlberg, plans to put out a line of clothing that includes the wolf's tail as an accessory, the Post reports. Asked about the hollow hypocrisy of it all, Benjamin said, "I'm a vegan, but I like to look good, too."
