Billie Piper does not fit the part


To me, Billie Piper is not pretty enough or shapely enough for the part, and I don't like the way she speaks (inflection, facial expressions, etc.). From that aspect alone, the series is disappointing. The title does not exclude other call girls' diaries, so I would like to see a different actress next year.

I think she is really cute without makeup and with make up she looks pretty hot to me! I like her body, very nice, curvy. Season 2 was little iffy but Season 3 she looks great!

Speaking of Billie Piper, she is not stunningly, supermodel beautiful. IMHO, she is pretty and cute at best especially with less makeup, she is prettier. However, she has a lot of sex appeal. Also, she has one of the most beautiful and radiant smiles.

Is everyone blind??? Billie is now -- and has always been -- simply gorgeous! She's a very talented actress (and singer IMO) and does an excellent job playing Belle. However, I do have mixed feelings about her in this role because it's degrading and not the most upbeat theme. She's certainly proven her versatility as an actress, but I'd like to see her move onto bigger and better roles. Unfortunately, I think she's still pretty unknown in North America where I'm from.

I just started reading the book, and it's amazing how good it is, and how fast reading goes. Mind you, I had preivious predjudice that's it's mainly erotic reading. It's not. But TV show based on the book is almost complitely different from it's source. It has some small connections, but not much. Book is very god, bright, smart and sexy, and show is also quite good.
I like Billy (i'm female :)), she's cute, sexy, seems confident enough, and she plays the role with easiness and makes character of Belle likable (even though not exactly realistic, her life is presented waaaaay too glamorous to be true) which by my opinion was not an easy task.
So she'r just right.

I agree, she looks more like a skanky street walker rather than a high price call girl. It's a joke. Very few people in the entire world would give much cash at all to sleep with her, let's be honest.

My body's a cage, it's been used and abused...and I...LIKE IT!!

Have you seen the real woman she's based on? she's much better looking than her.

Ring my bell
Ring my bell
Wonder could it be
Could it be for me
Thats the sound Ive been waiting for
Any time of day
He can come my way
When I open the door
I know that all is well
Every time I hear that bell
I can tell
Someones at the door
I know who it is
Someones back for more
I know who
By the way he rings my bell
I can always tell who is at my door
Ring my bell
Ring my bell
Everywhere I go
Always need to know
Is he waiting outside for me
So I hurry home
Really hurry home
When I open the door
I know that all is well
Every time I hear that bell
I can tell someones at the door
I know who it is
Someones back for more
I know who
By the way he rings my bell
I can always tell who is at my door
Ring my bell
Ring my bell
Waiting by the door
Wonder where hes been can stand it no more
Gonna let him in
If he comes inside

I got on my mind

With your feet in the air and your head on the ground, try this sig with spinach!

I think it's funny that people say she has a huge nose. It certainly doesn't look big to me, it looks small and cute. I've always thought her jaw was unattractively big, although I've gotten used to it. I really think she's very pretty most of the time and quite hot in SDOACG.

Eleven: Funny how you can say something in your head and it sounds fine.
