We're more than a little heartbroken to learn that Vincent Gallo has pulled his surely-riveting, three-page essay from the Village Voice in reaction to a dispute over the issue's cover image. Voice editor-in-chief Don Forest wisely refused to run a headshot of Gallo on the cover in lieu of a kinder, gentler image, the one you just know they'd pick: the lovely shot of Vinnie being serviced by poor trash-monkey Chloë Sevigny. Gallo, however, didn't want the paper to run the picture and thus withdrew his essay — because, you know, that image is really sacred and special and should only be seen on massive billboards.
