Former Baywatch star Pamela Anderson is now helping Hole lead singer and actress Courtney Love lose weight.

According to the New York Daily News, Love said, "I'm working out. Pamela Anderson runs with me up the steps of Pepperdine University. She's like my personal trainer. I'm a size-30 jeans now."

The 31-year-old widow of the late Kurt Cobain has been drug free and alcohol free for a year since she was ordered by a Los Angeles court to enter a rehab centre after a drug-possession case last July.

The controversial singer saw her daughter - 12-year old Francis Bean - being taken away from her and was only recently allowed to live with the girl.
