The Hollywood Gossip staff is excited to bring back our Tale of the Tape, the Internet sensation in which we break down various matchups within the celebrity gossip world.
This week, our editors had no choice but to pit a pair of newborns against one another. We hope Mason Dash Disick and Hank Baskett IV live long, happy, fruitful lives; but it’s not clear if this is possible.
That’s what happens when your respective parents – Kendra Wilkinson and Kourtney Kardashian – seem to care more about publicity than child-rearing.
We’ve already asked readers which of these kids is worse off, but we’re here now to examine each child’s prospects in closer detail. Who will prevail in this grueling battle? Let’s find out. Ding, ding!
