Billie's Back to Work Filming Belle's Secret Diary

PopSugarUK — Thu, 30 Apr 2009 02:45:00 -0700

Billie Piper is back as Belle de Jour, filming scenes in West London yesterday for the third series of Secret Diary of a Call Girl. Wearing a gorgeous red flower in her hair, Billie was filming scenes with costars Ashley Madekwe (Bambi) and Iddo Goldberg (Ben), who have been getting closer in the break between series by attending film premieres together. After giving birth to Winston in October, Billie's been enjoying lots of family time, taking walks and holidays with the two men in her life, but she's also found time for work, including promotional tours in the US. I'm so excited for the next season to hit our TV screens, what about you?

Billie Piper Bares It All for Secret Diary of a Call Girl

BuzzSugar — Sun, 25 Jan 2009 07:30:34 -0800

One of the more surprisingly funny panels at TCA this month was for Showtime's Secret Diary of a Call Girl. Well, anytime you get a room full of critics talking about dominatrix training and "modesty sacks," it's got to be a pretty good time.

The show's star, Billie Piper, let us in on some of the upcoming stories for the show, how playing a call girl has changed perceptions of her, and whether the US or UK was more prudish about the show. Read on for highlights:

Playing Belle means men are terrified of her: "Men don't come anywhere near me anymore," Piper said. "They seem so threatened by me now. They also just stare for ages, like I'm going to do something wild and raunchy. And, you know, much to their disappointment, it never really happens."
She was never really worried that playing a prostitute would harm her image: "I really, really liked the early drafts of the script. I liked the idea," she said. "I didn't really think about it too much. I think my family and friends were quite concerned about my mental state and well-being when I was making the show, but they got over it pretty quickly."
But it sure surprised London: "People were really shocked when Billie took the role in the UK," said producer Rebecca De Souza. "Her perception at home was very much as a kind of girl-next-door darling, the nation's darling. So to take a role like this was really quite extraordinary, very, very bold."

To find out what's coming up for both Hannah and Belle and find out how to see the season two premiere even if you don't have Showtime, just read more.

Juggling Hannah and Belle will always be a problem. Having a legit identity and a call girl identity will dog Piper's character throughout the series. The main story of the second season will be "Belle falling in love and can she manage to sustain a relationship? Can she juggle Belle and Hannah? Can Hannah get what she wants? Hannah wants a relationship. Or will Belle always take her away from that?" De Souza said. In the third season, which is about to start production in the UK, Belle will write a book about her experiences.
UK audiences reacted more prudishly to the show than US viewers. "Over here, it's been nothing but a joy really," Piper said. "And people have been really open-minded - which, you know, I wasn't surprised about because when you look at the lineup on Showtime and other stations over here, TV is really advanced in terms of ideas."

Showtime has made the second-season premiere of Call Girl available for streaming, so to check it out, just head over here.

Busy Mum Billie and Laurence Leave LA

PopSugarUK — Wed, 21 Jan 2009 05:00:00 -0800

Billie Piper and her actor husband Laurence Fox made their way through LAX yesterday, following Billie's appearance at Showtime's TCA tour. Billie's been talking about how she's soon to start on a new diet and exercise routine following Winston's birth, and also discussed how tiring she's found motherhood:

"I had absolutely no idea how tiring being a mum was - or how hard mums have to work. [Winston]'s a restless sleeper. He gives us hope, then he changes his routine. That feeling of unconditional love... I used to think it was so cheesy when people said that before, but it's something I finally understand. The smiling... it's amazing. And having a new best friend for life."

Despite the exhaustion of bringing up a new baby that Billie spoke about, from these pictures they look like quite the adorable and happy family.

PopSugarUK — Thu, 15 Jan 2009 08:00:00 -0800

TV stars from our side of the pond took to the stage at CBS and Showtime's TCA tour yesterday to chat about their shows. New mum Billie Piper took time out from Miami beaches to discuss Secret Diary of a Call Girl. My girl Buzz was there to hear Billie's revelations about the show, including the fact that she thinks Londoners tend to be more prudish about the show's sexual content than US audiences! Buzz also heard Joss Stone's comments about her role as Anne of Cleves on The Tudors, and my girl Molly's got the lowdown from Jonathan Rhys Meyers about what the sex scenes are like. All three stars got in to their snazzy outfits after the panels and went on to party.
