Billie Piper: “I’ve ruined my future career!”
Billie Piper has been talking to TVGuide.com about her career and what the future holds for. She came to the realisation towards the end of the interview that going topless for an ITV2 show was not exactly the prime location if you want to be an A-Lister, she should have at least saved it for HBO or Showtime.
Someone said to me the other day, rather viciously, ‘What A-list stars do you see get their t— out?’ And then I suddenly start thinking, ‘Oh, my God, what have I done? I’ve ruined my future career!’” Piper says. “If people get upset about the show, that’s fine. But you know, you get photographed on the beach topless nowadays. After all, they’re only breasts. It’s not that interesting.”
In all fairness, Angelina Jolie is an A-Lister and she goes naked all the time, it’s never hurt her career. In fact people are disappointed when she is not naked and movies in which she doesnt get naked make less money, true fact.
Secret Diary of a Call Girl is filming it’s second series now and a third has been commisioned because ITV are desperate to keep Billie Piper in things on there network. Piper is also in Doctor Who: The Stolen Earth this Saturday night.

Posted on June 25th, 2008 at 6:14 pmBillie Piper is A-list, in the UK at least. What makes you think you have to be on some US tv network getting your bits out to be an A-lister? If you actually read what she said, she meant she may loose her A-list status and career after dong it, not that she might gain A-list status.

Posted on June 25th, 2008 at 6:21 pmI was more taking a dig at ITV2 rather than Billie, as ITV2 does not hold the same prestige as HBO or Showtime. In fact it holds no prestige whatsoever.
The article in question is from TVGuide.com and discussing her career in the USA, it has not and probably will not affect her career in the UK at all, but the American tv audience are not as liberal as the UK one which is why I think that whole part of the interview came about.
Imagine losing a career in America becuase of ITV2, there not even as good as ITV1.
