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:

As we told you in “Life Does Go On After Sex With Chelsea Clinton” in August, the former first daughter’s ex-very serious bf Ian Klaus has written a new book called Elvis is Titanic. Now, WWD reports, Chelsea is supporting the tome, and has even asked daddy Bill to host a book party this week to help Klaus out with sales. ”[A]lthough the notion of ex-girlfriend’s father as book party host certainly isn’t customary, a spokeswoman for Knopf, the book’s publisher, added that Chelsea and her friends will be in attendance,” according to the magazine. ”In fact, Klaus dedicated the book to Chelsea.” What a guy!

Remember back when the Globe tabloid ran the headline “Chelsea Clinton Collapses: Lover [Ian Klaus] Caught in Iraq Bomb Blast”? Well - surprise! - turns out the tattle rag more than likely got the story wrong. She’s never been known to be a fainter, according to a couple of sources Big Head DC has interviewed who know her.

What is true is that since the couple broke up, Klaus has been doing just fine for himself. In fact, later this month Random House will release his first non-fiction book, Elvis Is Titanic, which centers on his life in the spring of 2005, when the Rhodes Scholar traveled eight hours from Turkey, via broken-down taxi and armed convoy, to reach Salahaddin University in Iraq.

“Elvis Is Titanic is the poignant, funny, and eye-opening story of the semester he spent there teaching U.S. history and English in the thick of the war for hearts and minds,” according to a press release. “His story, as full of hope and discovery as he finds his students, offers a slice of life behind the headlines.”

Fun fact: Even though the Globe story was likely hogwash, the time frame headlined in Elvis Is Titanic does intersect with its publication date. It was during the early ‘05 period when Klaus was traveling that reports of friction between he and Chelsea first surfaced. The long distance, we can only posit, was just too much to bear.
