Status about purchasing tickets from Almeida’s facebook;
Reasons To Be Pretty closes this Saturday – if you haven’t seen it already and you haven’t booked a ticket, remember you can book Day Seats in person from 11am!
So if you live in the London area and want to see Billie, might be worth a try!
Reasons To Be Pretty is the final part of Neil LaBute’s trilogy of plays that explore our perception of beauty and image interplaying the relationships between men and women. It’s been said that it’s the more humane play out of the trilogy. We have a Talkback during each run of a production at the Almeida where the audience can discuss the production with the cast. Here we have some highlights from the Reasons To Be Pretty Talkback.
What is it that Carly’s attracted to in Kent?
Billie Piper (Carly): I think its one of those things that on paper makes perfect sense, he’s like a prize boyfriend. Where they’re from, things like that really matter. They’re two good looking people and you know I think that he is quite different with Carly to how he is amongst his friends, I’m not sure she really knows who he actually is. I think its quite fake, their relationship.
Was it difficult learning the accent?
Billie Piper: TheMidwest, that’s all we really knew…

Firstly I hope all of you had a fantastic Christmas and are looking forward to an amazing New Year.
Secondly I would like to announce that the website has been transferred over to me now. I would like to thank Robin massively for all the incredible hard work she has put in to this site over the years, she has done an amazing job and kept us all up to date! However unfortunately she doesn’t have time to run it as she did before so I have taken over. I am a massive Billie Piper fan and have been updating on here for a long time so I’m hoping I can try and fill her shoes. As well as Robin doing a fantastic job over the years so have all of the other editors. I have done a clear out as many people weren’t using their account anymore so please do not be offended if you have been removed, this has happened to all to reduce any hacking/spamming etc. If you would like to continue running and helping with the site please email me and I’ll sign you back up again. I will be changing a few things in the coming days and weeks such as the theme and some of the pages.
If you have any questions, queries, suggestions or comments please write them below.
I wish you all a very Happy New Year!

A fantastic review from The Jewish Chronicle which truly hails Billie Piper…
But the most eye-catching performance in Michael Attenborough’s gripping production is from former Dr Who sidekick Billie Piper who is terrific as Kent’s pregnant girlfriend. No actor can cry more convincingly than Piper, but here she adds a very convincing, American, blue-collar toughness.

Kaya Scodelario has expressed how improvising with Billie Piper was about the situation the characters are in and not about sex.

Time Out has positioned Reasons to be Pretty number 8 out of the 10 best theatre productions to see this Autumn!

Reasons to be Pretty is also the ‘Critic’s Choice’ for theatre productions off-west end and is Time Out’s show of the week!
Great news all round!
I was reading the programme from Reasons to be Pretty and under what each of the cast had done, it said:
Billie Piper…
Television: True Love
I’d never heard of it, and after googling it nothing came up apart from a few reports of BBC and ITV clashing with the same name which we reported a while ago. So it may be true that the BBC has changed it from Love Life to True Love.
PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animas) have praised Billie for admitting about her past and expressing how much she wanted to change it. They now want her as a spokesperson for their campaign…
A spokesperson for the organisation told WENN: “PETA is very happy to hear that Ms Piper regrets the casual cruelty that she perpetrated against animals when she was a child – that’s the difference between a person with the real potential to be kind and someone who denies wrongdoing, takes pleasure in it and escalates the damaging behaviour.
“We will be asking Ms Piper to be a spokesperson for our campaign to sensitise children, parents and teachers to the need to develop compassion in childhood through humane education training in schools and at home.”

has insisted that there is nothing provocative about her role in Love Life.
The Wuthering Heights star will play Karen, the love interest of teacher Holly (Billie Piper) in the semi-improvised BBC serial.
“[Each episode is] half an hour long, for five nights on the BBC,” the actress told Digital Spy. “It’s [about] different situations of love [and] that’s why I wanted to do it.”
She continued: “It’s very hard to get two female actors, put them together in a… relationship and not make it about sex.
“[This story] was more about the connection that they share as women [and] the points that they’re at in their lives.”
Scodelario also admitted that she had been a fan of Billie Piper’s music as a child.
“The first album that I ever bought was hers,” she revealed. “But I didn’t tell her that, because I thought it might put her off a little bit!”

Pop star-turned-actress Billie Piper has only patched up her distant relationship with her parents since becoming a mother, because they were “redundant” when she shot to fame as a teenager.
The Brit became a chart sensation in the U.K. when she was just 15 and landed her first solo number one single in 1998. She moved into her own apartment and travelled the world as she released two hit albums.
Piper then abandoned her pop career and enjoyed a short-lived, booze-fuelled marriage to U.K. TV star Chris Evans, which her parents found out about on a radio show.
And she reveals she only recently became close to her mum and dad again after putting her wild days behind her and welcoming a son in 2009 – admitting she felt she didn’t need them when she was riding her first wave of success.

TV beauty Billie Piper has revealed she thinks she has a “frightening” face.
Billie – expecting her second child – said: “I have always felt clumsy and awkward and self-conscious.
“I’ve got these enormous features, and as a childthey were the last thing I wanted. I have always thought of myself as frightening-looking.”
Billie, 29, who has three-year-old son Winston with actor hubby Laurence Fox, 33, is now preparing to face her demons – in a play about appearance.
Reasons To Be Pretty opens in London’s West End on Thursday.
The former Doctor Who assistant said: “I’m trying to get to a place where I can believe that I am really attractive. It’s a big leap of the imagination.”
