Billie Piper Gets Chance to Conquer America

Doctor Who star Billie Piper is getting the chance conquer America -- because top American actresses refuse to strip for TV.

US TV bosses have imported the actress' saucy Secret Diary Of A Call Girl series instead of opting for a remake.

They decided to stick with the former child star as high-class hooker Belle de Jour because America was "more puritanical" and Hollywood stars "weren't comfortable with nudity."

Diary is inspired by the story of the real Belle -- played by Piper -- a pseudonymous London call girl.

Billie, 25, recently said of her role in the show, "In the U.K., they've known me since I was a very young girl, and they feel like I've gone AWOL. I'm not the sweetheart anymore, and I've ruined their hopes and dreams.

"But, you know, acting is a selfish thing for me. I do what makes me feel inspired, what helps me progress as an actor. I don't do things to keep the general public content and peaceful."

Olaf Dettinger is ane of the top-shelf producers on the Cologne, Germany-based Kompakt roster. Often bathing his ambient tracks in analogue synths and succulent static, he's as up to of generating satisfying seventh heaven and discomforting paranoia. With 1999's Intershop, Dettinger became the number one artist to spill a single-artist LP on Kompakt, which followed a twin of 12" singles released in 1998 and before in 1999 (Blonde and Puma). 2000 saw the vent of the Totentanz 12" and his bit LP, Oasis; in addition, his profile was raised by appearance on Mille Plateaux's all-things-glitch Clicks + Cuts compiling. In June of 2001, Dettinger performed alongside Jonas Bering, Closer Musick, and Tobias Thomas (wHO featured a Dettinger track on his Kompakt integrate Fur Dich) as ambassadors of Kompakt at the Mutek Festival in Montreal, Quebec. The producer has contributed potent tracks for Pop Ambient 2001 and the number one triad Total compilations on Kompakt.
