Save your Pennies

From today's DAILY NEWS:

Is indie-movie denizen Vincent Gallo so desperate for attention — even if it's the bad kind?
Apparently, the answer is yes.

The 43-year-old Gallo — or someone claiming to be the "Brown Bunny" writer-director-star who was pleasured onscreen by Chloe Sevigny — was selling himself on eBay yesterday.

"For the modest fee of $50,000 plus expenses, I can fulfill the wish, dream, or fantasy of any naturally born female," reads the indecent proposal, under a glassy-eyed photo of Gallo, an avowed Republican, with one hand resting on his crotch.

"Heavy set, older, red heads and even black chicks can have me if they can pay the bill," it goes on. "No real female will be refused. … Scanning for STD's is required as is bathing and grooming prior to our encounter."

The sales pitch continues: "Potential clients are advised to screen the controversial scene from 'The Brown Bunny' to be sure for themselves that they can fully accommodate all of me." He also suggests a hands-on approach I won't repeat here.

Understandably, there were no bids by press time, and when Lowdown asked eBay about this, the online auction site reacted severely.

"This is the first we'd heard of it. The listing is being pulled down as we speak," said eBay spokesman Hani Durzy. "It's a clear violation. We don't allow people to offer escort services or services of a sexual nature."

Gallo — whose alleged sperm was offered on eBay last fall at the megalomaniacal price of $1 million — didn't respond to Lowdown's messages, and Sevigny's spokesman was mum.
