Katie Holmes is furious after learning a teenage virgin is launching an adult movie career under the name Katee Holmes.

The 18-year-old fashion student will begin her career in X-rated movies by losing her virginity on film.

A representative for Katie told the New York Post newspaper: "It's a really cheap shot".

Katee's manager, Shy Love - a blue movie veteran - claims the fledgling porn-star from Illinois changed her name in "tribute" to the 'Dawson's Creek' actress' innocence.

He said: "Katee is using the name as a tribute to Katie, who has always portrayed an innocence in everything she's done, beginning with 'Dawson's Creek'."

Katee - who looks nothing like the brunette actress with blonde hair and blue eyes - says she has no regrets about her decision.

She said: "I know it's pretty extreme to lose my virginity on camera, but I like the fulfilment and excitement I get from watching porn, so I figured a movie was the best place for me to lose it.

"How many people wished they could relive their first experience, if not to remember it but to learn from it, right?"

A spokeswoman for Katie's actor husband Tom Cruise said: "Obviously, Tom would support Katie in anything she decides to do about it."
