Nicole Richie is so determined to shift her post-pregnancy pounds, she’s turned to Halle Berry for inspiration!

The former Simple Life star — who gave birth to her second child, son Sparrow, earlier this month — reportedly keeps a photo of Berry pinned up in her kitchen.

Nicole apparently admires Halle for regaining her fabulous figure less than a month after giving birth to daughter Nahla in March 2008.

“Nicole would look at Halle’s photo and see how she was able to get her figure back in a matter of weeks and use that as an incentive,” a source told Australia’s NW magazine, adding that with Halle’s help, plus a sensible eating plan, Nicole has shed nine kilos since her son was born on September 9.

Meanwhile, Nicole’s dad, soul legend Lionel Richie, has revealed he’s not sure why his daughter called her baby Sparrow.

“I have no idea where that came from,” said the All Night Long hitmaker. “I will ask her, it is very interesting. With the excitement of the baby, you don’t go into the name just yet.

“When I heard it, I thought it was my job just to go ‘absolutely.’ I will ask about Sparrow and she will have a story.”
