KATIE COOKS UP ROMANCE WITH HUNKY CHEF, 33!

HEARTBROKEN over the crash of her six-year love affair with Jamie Foxx, cougar Katie Holmes has rebounded onto the lap of eight-years-younger chef Emilio Vitolo Jr.

Their romance was hotter than a grease fire as the 41-year-old beauty perched on 33-year-old Emilio’s knees for a sizzling makeout session during a cozy din-din at Manhattan’s Peasant Restaurant on Sept. 6.

“The pair burst out into uncontainable laughter as they cozied up to one another at the quaint joint and made no attempt to hide their affection as they packed on the PDA,” dishes a source.
