So it seems that this may very well be Tom Cruises next significant other!  He doesn't waste any time!

Her name is YOLANDA PECORARO . . . she's 27 and a Scientologist like Tom. Some people even claim they dated briefly in 2004.

She's an actress, but she's mostly been in low-budget stuff so far. (--Although she did play "pretty woman" in the 2009 romantic comedy "The Ugly Truth", starring Katherine Heigl and Gerard Butler.)

So-called "sources" say the Church of Scientology is embarrassed by how the whole Katie situation developed and all the negative publicity they got from it, and they want to, quote, "stabilize the situation" by hooking Tom up again.

When asked if she's Tom's next in line, Yolanda gave kind of a non-denial denial . . . quote, "Yes, I knew and still know Tom Cruise. And no, I'm not married or engaged."
