Who's Katie's Diet Guru?

Katie HolmesWhen you're on a mission, it pays to consult the master.

So, when Katie Holmes wanted to get rid of her pregnancy pounds double-quick, who did she turn to?

None other than Victoria Beckham, whose banishing of her own baby bulge, three times over, was nothing short of awe-inspiring.

Katie, who gave birth to Tom Cruise's daughter Suri last month, is already on a punishing gym regime.

She's registered with a company called Buff Brides, to help her get in shape for her upcoming wedding to Mission: Impossible star Tom.

But everyone needs a mentor, especially in a town like Hollywood, where looking like a... well... mum means career death.

Victoria BeckhamSo Katie has drafted in micro-mummy Victoria as extra insurance for getting her superstar's figure back.

Katie was introduced to Victoria by Tom Cruise at a Real Madrid game in Spain, and the pair have bonded over the last year.

A friend told Reveal magazine: "Victoria and Katie are really good friends, and Posh knows just how to get back in shape after having a baby.

"She got her figure back within weeks of giving birth to Cruz. So Katie thougth Victoria was the perfect person to ask."

Healthy? We're not so sure. Necessary? Pass. But VB's methods of shifting baby weight are certainly effective. We wish Katie luck.
