Tale of the Tape: Brooklyn Decker vs. Cynthia Rodriguez
The Hollywood Gossip staff is proud to bring you Tale of the Tape, in which we break down prospective matchups within the celebrity world you probably never considered. Because they are pointless, and above all, not real.

The Rodriguezes are great people, unafraid to display their personal weaknesses and strengths, whose names should never belong in the same sentence as the desperate wannabe Decker. The pure mention of the name "Brooklyn Decker" reminds me of a badly titled XXX flick, so I will refrain from saying it. Back to A-Rod, the press gives him and his wife a slew of bad headlines when they gain attention being who they are, faults and all. Dare I say it, Cynthia holds up better physically at age 34 than the other wannabe who shall not be named and is a kinder person to match her outer, God given beauty, who could most certainly teach the other girl a thing or two on how to be a lady. Kudos to them.

The super hot man Tim Gunn is crushing on (stalking I heard...is that true?!) told Tim to stay away because he has a girlfriend now and LEAVE HIM ALONE. That's right Tim, you are as meaningful as a paper bag covered in burger grease so the best you can do is scam on younger men hoping to get them. Is it true Tim Gunn dates Andy Roddick? NASTY!
