Billie Piper
London (ANI): English actress and pop singer Billie Piper thinks she has blown her chance to be in Hollywood after she went topless in a role as a high-class hooker. Piper's steamy scenes in ITV's Diary Of A Call Girl have pulled in record viewing figures in the US, but the 25-year-old Dr Who star, fears she went too far for Americans.

"Someone said the other day, rather viciously, 'What A-list stars get their t**s out?'" The Sun quoted her as revealing. "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," she added.

But a boss at US cable channel Showtime, which screened the series, commented that she has what it takes to make it to Hollywood. "Billie has the looks and ability to make it very big in Hollywood," the boss said. Piper, who is currently pregnant, is now into filming a second series.

It's a pity her OBVIOUS sarcasm did not translate into print. As she said in the very NEXT LINE: "THEY ARE ONLY BREASTS". She basically was saying "it doesnt matter in any way

She needs to relax. Charlize Theron is often undressed in film. Everyone loves her. Scarlett Johansson is not real shy about it either. There a plenty of "a" list stars who do not see being undressed in a scene where normal real people are undressed as anything horrible. The only major female actress I can think of who has avoided such a scene is Julia Roberts-- who had her undressed scene in Pretty Woman filmed peek-a-boo style through a partition.

The one who married the guy her child's age got her t**ts out on screen. What's her name. Demi Moore. In a movie. After extensive plastic surgery. Made her even more famous. This is a silly excuse.

They may be only breasts to you Billie but to Americans they represent... dare I say it.... Americans of course don't make love and don't like any physical reminders of love making. All love making is bad and against God. People don't do it you know. Women in America can't have breasts. Men aren't allowed penises. They are all love making fraksl. Its all just too outrageous for words. Now if you want to invade a country blow up kids or use torture or use underhanded business tactics to get your own way... then America is the place for you.

ingmar bergman, marylyn monroe, sophia loren, sissy spacek, meryl streep, glenn close, michelle pfiefer, penelope cruz, cameron diaz, drew barymore, jaime presley, the cast of desperate housewives(except eva longoria), demi moore, heather graham, julianne moore, and even kathy bates. I have seen the scene in question and i guess my only comment to ms. piper would be "don't have a scene with a woman that is hotter than you" if you would like to see the scene in question... google it , thats what i did.
