• Things are about to get very sticky for whore-loving Senator David Vitter:

The "D.C. Madam" served a subpoena Tuesday on Sen. David Vitter, R-La., requiring him to testify about his use of the Washington, D.C., escort service federal prosecutors say was a prostitution ring.

The subpoena calls on the freshman senator to testify at a federal court hearing Nov. 28 looking into the business operations of the $2 million escort service Deborah Jeane Palfrey operated in the nation's capital for 13 years.

And the Senate Ethics Committee remains silent.

• What do you do when you suspect your man's sticking other lovers? Smell his dick, of course.

• The Democrats seem poised to stop President Bush's recess appointment of anti-gay surgeon general nominee James Holsinger. Rather than calling a recess for the holidays, Senate Majority leader Harry Reid hopes legislatures will use "pro forma". 365Gay passes on Roll Call's extortionately expensive word:

Roll Call reports that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) is considering technically canceling the recess. According to the report Reid is mulling a "pro forma" session. In essence it would mean several members of the Senate would show up on the floor every three days keeping the Senate session alive. With no recess Bush would not be able to make a recess appointment.

You're one smart son of a gun, Harry Reid.

Ellen Barkin and her lips hosted last night's Council of Fashion Designers of America Awards, where Proenza Schouler tied with Oscar de la Renta for the prized womenswear top honor.

Oprah Winfrey, meanwhile, presented Ralph Lauren with American Fashion Legend Award. During his acceptance speech, Lauren told the crowd, "Stick to your guns and enjoy what you're doing. … American fashion is just starting." Not by the looks of these stunning guests…

Stars turned out dressed to the nines, and then some.

Clay Cane must have a death wish. First, the homo-journo took on former lesbian publisher turned proselytizer, Charlene Cothran. Now, he's taking on the likes of P. Diddy, Tigga and Trick Daddy.

In a post entitled Bottoms Up, Cane labels a number of hip-hop's "heteros" stars a number of variants of "bottom". Diddy, for example, has been deemed "100% Power Bottom". We believe it. Cane goes on to refer to Russell Simmons as "Old School Early 80s Pre-Condom Porn Bottom", while he finds 24-year old Yung Joc (pictured) guilty of "Shuckin' and jivin' for mass' slut-puppy bottom!" Ouch.

Cane doesn't restrict his categorizations to just hip-hop - or men. Serena Williams can now proudly boast that she's been named a "1000% Well Hung Colon Reconstructing Top". Her sexual partners have 1000% odds of needed colon reconstruction? We're not down with those odds.

It's a damn good week to be the gay uncle to a celebrity.

First, Heath Ledger gave his bi uncle props, saying he was the source of inspiration for his grunting and palm-spitting character in Brokeback Mountain. Ledger even brought his uncle, a wrestler (natch), as his date to the movie's Aussie premiere. What a way to support the gays!

Now, friend to twink fashion diva Zac Posen and former beau to fag hag J. Lo, P. Diddy has come out to reveal that his own uncle was the one who gave him his sense of style. If true, someone please revoke his uncle's pink card.

Some may think this only reinforces stereotypes that queers have a great sense of style and a flair for drama. We think it would make a rocking PFLAG ad campaign.
