Billie Piper is back as Belle de Jour, filming scenes in West London yesterday for the third series of Secret Diary of a Call Girl. Wearing a gorgeous red flower in her hair, Billie was filming scenes with costars Ashley Madekwe (Bambi) and Iddo Goldberg (Ben), who have been getting closer in the break between series by attending film premieres together. After giving birth to Winston in October, Billie's been enjoying lots of family time, taking walks and holidays with the two men in her life, but she's also found time for work, including promotional tours in the US.

One of the more surprisingly funny panels at TCA this month was for Showtime's Secret Diary of a Call Girl. Well, anytime you get a room full of critics talking about dominatrix training and "modesty sacks," it's got to be a pretty good time.
The show's star, Billie Piper, let us in on some of the upcoming stories for the show, how playing a call girl has changed perceptions of her, and whether the US or UK was more prudish about the show.

TV stars from our side of the pond took to the stage at CBS and Showtime's TCA tour yesterday to chat about their shows. New mum Billie Piper took time out from Miami beaches to discuss Secret Diary of a Call Girl. My girl Buzz was there to hear Billie's revelations about the show, including the fact that she thinks Londoners tend to be more prudish about the show's sexual content than US audiences!

It's NBC's turn to present at the TCA press tour today, but before they take the stage, I wanted to pass along some of the remaining goodies from the CBS and Showtime presentations. I've got lots of good stuff — including an interview with United States of Tara and Rachel Getting Married star Rosemarie DeWitt —that I'll share in the coming days, but for now, some highlights from Wednesday's panels:
- Showtime's Nurse Jackie, which stars Edie Falco, is about a woman who's the absolute best nurse imaginable but also has serious human flaws — namely a severe addiction to pharmaceuticals (and an affair with her pharmacist). The show will premiere later this year and be paired with Weeds.

So the second series of Secret Diary of a Call Girl came to an end last night. In the season that saw Billie Piper have to cover up her growing baby bump, it's fitting that the actress should give birth to her son in the week the series ends. Congrats Billie!

Last night's episode of Secret Diary of a Call Girl was the funniest installment so far, with some great one-liners from Belle and Ben, as Belle attempts to leave escort work for an office job to win Alex back, but the love triangle gets even more complicated.
Episode seven starts with Belle packing away all her sex-related outfits and toys because she's "going straight". She meets up with Ben and tells him she's got herself a proper job.
