CLAY IS THE KING OF AVOIDANCE
Clay Aiken danced around the Big Question when he visited "American Idol" pal and "Hairspray" star Diana DeGarmo backstage Tuesday. Asked his thoughts about Elton John's warning that he's bound to face questions about his sexuality, Aiken told us: "I have no idea what you're talking about," before whisking away his mom, grandma and aunts. … We told you yesterday Maggie Gyllenhaal was headed to the hospital. Her and Peter Sarsgaard's new baby girl is named Ramona. … Eva Longoria was to join basketball boyfriend Tony Parker in Paris, where he's playing in exhibition games. Last week, the Desperate Housewife's rep admitted the couple was "having a difficult time."… … Chuck Night is firing up his fingers to bust open a bevy of bras. Today at 3:30, outside 40 W. 57th St., the comedian and deejay will go for the world record - one-handed - with 65 beauties from HeadQuarters Gentlemen's Club. The mark stands at 56 bras in 60 seconds. But don't get too excited: "There will be no nudity involved," a rep says. Kathy Najimy, Amy Brenneman, comedian Carol Leifer and Ms. Magazine founder Gloria Steinem have joined thousands of women signing "We Had Abortions," a pro-choice petition that will appear in Ms. Tuesday.
