Spanish Fly: Red-hot David Ferrer was abs-olutely overwhelmed by Roger Federer, 6-2, 6-3, 6-2, yesterday in the finals of the 2007 Tennis Masters Cup held in Shanghai, China.

Radio Love: Have you heard "Fernando and Greg in the Morning," the superfunny and supergay morning-drive program on Energy 92.7fm out in the Bay Area?

Short Fuse: Actor Scott Caan is "deeply apologetic" for using the anti-gay slur "faggot" during an exchange with paparazzi that was caught on video.
