Billie Piper Thinks Nudity Will Ruin Career, Is Wrong

Unless you live in England (and we bet you don't, as in our mind England is filled with only stuffy old professors in tweed suits who smoke pipes and half-toothless paupers who are constantly uttering "guv'nor", and there's probably not much overlap with our readers in those categories) you most likely don't know who Billie Piper is. So think back a week or two to when every website you visited was about 30% actual content and 70% ads featuring Mary-Louise Parker watering her pot leaf and some chick in a giant martini glass. Billie is that chick. And being British, she doesn't conform to one of America's deepest-held traditions--the perpetually clothed, virginal prostitute/stripper. She actually gets naked in the TV series Secret Diary of a Call Girl! And now she thinks it might ruin her career, silly girl. According to WENN:

British actress Billie Piper fears her recent role as a high-class prostitute will damage her career prospects in Hollywood - because A-list stars never commit to on-screen nudity.

The former Dr. Who star plays the lead role in recent TV drama The Secret Diary of a Call Girl, which follows the exploits of an upmarket hooker living in London.

And now Piper fears the show - which aired in the U.S. earlier this month - may affect her chance of carving out a movie career because of the rife nude scenes.

She says, "Someone said to me the other day, 'What A-list stars get their tits out?' And then I started thinking, 'Oh my God, what have I done? I've ruined my future career!'

"You know, you get photographed on the beach topless. After all, they're only breasts."

We think that Billie needs a bit of schooling in the nudie cinematic arts. Today's A-list isn't comprised of just Julia Roberts and Sarah Jessica Parker; there are plenty of bared bits and bobs in Hollywood's top tier. To name a few: Jennifer Aniston, Drew Barrymore, Halle Berry, Penelope Cruz, Heather Graham, Angelina Jolie, Nicole Kidman, Keira Knightley, Jennifer Lopez, Madonna, Demi Moore, Gwyneth Paltrow, Charlize Theron, Kate Winslet. Is that enough proof for you, Billie? Much like Cocoa Pebbles are a part of a well-balanced breakfast, nudity is an essential ingredient in any successful Hollywood career.
