A Secret Movie of a Call Girl?

Billie Piper’s raunchy telly series Secret Diary of a Call Girl is being made into a Hollywood movie – after becoming a smash hit in America.
The 27-year-old beauty, who plays unshockable high-class hooker Belle in the show, is currently working on a fourth and final series for ITV2.
But she now looks set for Stateside stardom with a silver screen debut after it took off on US channel HBO. The movie promises to break even more sexual taboos than the TV series – based on the books and blog of real-life escort Belle de Jour – which features bondage, threesomes and S&M orgies.
Mum-of-one Billie, named Glamour magazine’s Actress of the Year this week, told TV Biz: “I’m about to start filming the fourth series and then that will be it.
“I’m not sure it has legs past four seasons so we’re trying to develop a movie.”
A source added: “The book has been a worldwide success and the TV show has been a hit on both sides of the Atlantic, a movie is the next obvious step.
“Billie’s career would skyrocket if the movie took off. It’s the springboard she needs to take her talent to the States.” Hollywood bosses hope it will ape the success of Sex And The City, which also began life as a book before becoming a hit HBO show then spawning two movies.
Billie said she has even managed to talk her actor husband Laurence Fox round to the idea of a movie after he got used to seeing her strip off and romp with 30 to 40 men per series.
She added: “We didn’t watch for ages, then recently we watched an episode or two.
“It was actually a lot more palatable than I thought, and certainly more than he thought it was going to be – so that was a relief!”

Secret Diary Series Four?

According to The Daily Star, Billie has agreed to come back as Belle in the 4th series of Secret Diary of a Call Girl:
Telly bosses have stumped up £2million to get Billie Piper to make a fourth series of Secret Diary Of A Call Girl.
The babe has agreed to slip back into saucy outfits and killer heels to play infamous hooker Belle De Jour. Chiefs at ITV were desperate to make another series with producers Tiger Aspect.
Filming for the new eight-part series will kick off later this year, with TV chiefs aiming to screen the first episode on ITV2 on January 27 next year.
The fourth series will see Belle continue to juggle her life as a best-selling author with her secret sex antics in London.
Her adventures have given Billie, 27, one of her biggest TV roles.
The former Doctor Who star says she enjoys playing a “predatory” woman in the show.
She said: “Without getting too serious about it, it’s funny. Inevitably, sex for money is awkward. It’s not some seamless, physical act. The men are really nervous, they end up saying random things. Some are virgins and can’t get laid so they have to pay for it.”
Billie reckons it is one of the best TV roles ever. She added: “It’s so rare that you get to play such a predatory, confident woman.”
