I must admit, I’m not all that enamored about Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise dating.

Not that I’m all that caring of it - in fact, I’m rather sick of it. But, it’s not a healthy relationship. Everyone is gaga about it, and if you ask me, they’re setting themselves up for disaster. They’re rushing into things way too fast - much like the couple that meets in Vegas and gets married a few days later because they have “so much in common” and are “soul mates”.

On the other end of the spectrum, I have no problem with Ashton Kutcher dating Demi Moore, which is basically the same thing as above except for the ages of the respective sexes being swapped.

Here’s the thing - if Ashton and Demi break up, then so be it. They’ll both move on. They can both look back on the relationship - Demi remembering how she scored with a hot young stud and Ashton thinking about how he scored with a hot older woman.

However, Tom and Katie are different. Katie is a fragile creature - you can tell just by her mannerisms. Tom has been there and seen it all. If they break up, he’ll just move on to the next girl who is swooning over him; she’ll be devastated and distraught and will need lots of time to emotionally rebuild.

I don’t doubt that they’re seriously in love - I’m quite sure that they are both very interested in providing the best for the other. But they are too different in age and in too jaded of an industry to make it actually work.

They should just both admit that they like having sex with each other, and enjoy spending time together at the zoo or whatever. But they shouldn’t be doing all this “oh, maybe we’ll get married” glitz. What a shame.

And in related news: katie has apparently joined the church of scientology, which is what Tom was already a member of. But that’s the subject for another Tarkblog.
