It's not that Katie is so much younger, it's that she is apparently star-struck and all too willing to join a cult and follow Tom around like a love sick puppy and overlook his rumored 'love' for men that is the problem. He wanted someone he could mold, and only a young, starstruck woman would do. Older women might remember his scientology wierdness or his breakup with Nicole, oddly done, or notice his getting some on the down low. Maybe naive is a better word for Katie, rather than young.
I forgot to add, 'Go Brooke!'
Im so old, I remember the interview where his first wife Mimi Rodgers described him as 'like a monk.'
Too funny!
As for Tom, he gets more stories that pretend he is a heterosexual.
It's a Hollywood romance...everybody wins!
