The Hollywood Gossip is proud to bring you Tale of the Tape, in which we break down prospective matchups within the celebrity world that you might never have considered. Because they are pointless, and above all, not real.
Our current match-up features an acclaimed actor we feel like we know personally after his many neurotic, hilarious years on Seinfeld, and some random dude who happens to share the same name, and who we only know because he once got with Britney Spears.

THE VERDICT: The goofball comic proved too much for his younger, Britney banging namesake, eking out a 5.5-4.5 victory. Michael Richards would be proud – if not a little spiteful and insane. But we have a feeling that among these two Jason Alexanders, we’ll be hearing more from the charming hick from Louisiana in the coming months. Because he knows Britney. That’s kind of how the celebrity gossip business works – no offense Jason.
