Tom Brady Beats Out Gisele Bundchen, Peyton Manning on Forbes’ List of 100 Most Powerful Celebrities

Most couples in the United States have somewhat of an interest in Forbes' list of the Most Powerful Celebrities. It provides some decent fodder for at least a couple of minutes of meaningless conversation.

Things at the Brady household might be a little different, though, as both quarterback/male model/Ugg wearer Tom Brady and supermodel Gisele Bundchen are both qualified candidates to make the list. And this time, it was TB12 who came out on top.

Brady ranked 55th on the list, five spots ahead of Gisele at No. 60. We doubt Brady spiked the magazine and did a full-on touchdown dance, though. It was probably more understated, something like a spirited first down signal before gathering himself back on the couch.

Other power couples had the woman ranking higher, including Angelina Jolie (No. 11) and Brad Pitt (No. 45), and Beyonce Knowles (No. 29) and Jay-Z (No. 38). Lady Gaga claimed the top spot, while other athletes include Tiger Woods (No. 6), LeBron James (No. 10), Kobe Bryant (No. 14), Alex Rodriguez (No. 49) and Peyton Manning (No. 72).

A-Rod's gal pal, Cameron Diaz, ranked 81st, which, of course, finally explains why she was the one feeding him popcorn at the Super Bowl.

During the really lousy weather, even Terry Francona is too distracted to throw insults at Don Orsillo.
