Radar compares “important” things, like their education and pedigree, but we want you to judge them based solely on their looks. Does Chelsea Clinton’s ex boy toy Ian Klaus (left) float your boat, or would you rather cuddle up to her current beau Marc Mezvinsky:

Ellen DeGeneres is playing a little hardball with her male cable anchor crushes, it seems. Yesterday, the talker got MSNBC’s Hardball host Chris Matthews on the phone during her popular daytime program.

But, alas, it was just a play to get the attention of the real man of her dreams. While chatting about the new O.J. Simpson case, a crawl across the bottom of the screen read: “Ellen’s on the phone with Chris Matthews because Wolf Blitzer wouldn’t take her call.”

When DeGeneres asked Matthews about CNN’s Blitzer, the squawker was obviously hurt: “He’s a little different than me.” Matthews then told the gay icon to “dump him, get me on. Forget him. It’s a rivalry here.”

Which leaves us wondering: Who’s cuter? Matthews or Blitzer? And who would be better in a threesome with Anderson Cooper?

Rep. Mary Bono and fellow Congressman Connie Mack IV are getting married, Big Head DC can confirm. The handsome duo started quietly dating after Bono divorced her second husband Glenn Baxley in 2005. She had previously been married to Sonny Bono. No word yet on whether her pal Cher will be a bridesmaid.

From what we hear Kriston Capps, an arts writer based in DC, is pretty much an all-around nice guy. Still, we gave you the chance to judge one of the scandalous female winners of FishbowlDC’s annual “Hottest Media Types” contest earlier today, so it wouldn’t be fair not to put Capps through the ringer. And! He sometimes contributes to the City Paper, which in itself is enough to deserve a little scrutiny, dontcha think?

By now you’ve probably heard about the FishbowlDC controversy over whether the best looking journalists fairly won the blog’s annual Hottest Media Types contest and whether the winners unscrupulously cheated their way to the top. Today, we provide photographic evidence of one of the cheaters in question, The Washingtonian’s Catherine Andrews. You be the judge:

Dozens of sexy twentysomething Barack Obama supporters turned up at MCXXIII’s swank SPANK nightclub last night — not to talk politics, but rather, in hopes of hooking up. The “Bid On Your Crush FOR Obama” date auction and mixer, thought to be a first of its kind on the political fundraising front, pulled in about $1,700 (and quite a few kisses), according to organizers. And every bidder got a discount coupon for upcoming events with the sexy senator himself. Obama Girl, alas, was not in attendance.

We’re going above and beyond the call of duty to help explain a phenomenon that’s currently sweeping the Internet: “Digg Expose.”

In short, the Web site is like Digg.com on screenshot-based steroids, a marriage of the popular technology behind the user-selected news Digg site with Snap.com’s “Snap Shots” program, which normally previews miniature pages of links in pages that incorporate its code. When the two mash together, you get a constantly rotating lineup of pictures of Web site pages that have been dugg. Digg Expose is now showing about 100 of the Snap Shots every second, according to Snap.

Administered by computer guru Gary Benitt, based out of San Diego, it’s unknown at this point whether Digg Expose creators received permission from Digg to use their site’s technology in this manner. But Snap readily agreed. According to executives there, just a few days ago a Digg Expose programmer contacted the company about using Snap Shots for this project.

“Naturally, we said yes and then did a blog post because we thought his work was so original and exciting,” Snap hailed in a mass e-mail this evening. “Apparently, everyone else agreed.”

Snap has plenty of reason to celebrate. Yesterday was the most heavily trafficked day in its history.

Now only one question remains: Does anyone want to create a mashup of Big Head DC’s quirky brand of news and gossip?

Sources tell Big Head DC that the scandal-plagued idol vixen took the following pics as part of a calendar compilation she made for her former boyfriend at Catholic University. Apparently, he’s a member of the lacrosse team at the religious school, and she broke up with him just before she left DC to star on American Idol. Tipsters, if you know who he is, please tell us ASAP via the anonymous tip box, or send an e-mail to BHDCtips@gmail.com.
