Pity the poor starlet whose Vogue cover might've been bumped to make way for a horse. ESPN reports that the most famous horse in the world, Triple Crown winner American Pharoah, will appear soon on the cover of the magazine. That news is straight from American Pharoah's owner's mouth.

"We are breaking new territory," Ahmed Zayat said last week in a podcast, according to ESPN. "We just signed an agreement to have him on the cover of the next issue of Vogue magazine." There's no word yet on who the horse will be sharing the spotlight with on the cover.
