Billie Piper would "find it hard" if her actor husband stripped off for work.

The British actress - who plays prostitute Belle Du Jour in UK TV drama 'Secret Diary of a Call Girl' - is surprised at how easily spouse Laurence Fox copes with her baring almost all on screen, as she thinks she would get jealous if he landed a racy role.

She said: "He's so relaxed about things like that, which is helpful as I would find it stifling if he tried to be possessive. Other boyfriends I've had would've been furious. I would find it very hard if Laurence stripped off on TV - so good on him to have the strength."

The 27-year-old star - who met Laurence when they starred in the play 'Treats' in 2007 - said it was her husband who convinced her she could get her figure back into shape after giving birth to their son Winston, now 15 months.

Billie Piper worries her son will be bullied - because she played a prostitute in a TV show.

The 27-year-old actress will never let 15-month-old Winston watch racy UK TV drama 'Secret Diary of A Call Girl' - in which she plays high-class hooker Belle - but expects he will find out about it from mean children when he goes to school.

Billie - who is also famous for her role as Rose Tyler in the popular BBC sci-fi series 'Doctor Who' - said: "I'm never going to show it to my son Winston. He'll have to stick with watching old episodes of 'Doctor Who'. He's going to hear about it when he's like ten or something and someone will say, 'Have you seen this programme? Your mum was a sl*g!' I'm going to bring him up to have a very open mind, but I think he'll definitely be bullied for being my son."

Billie Piper uses a foot double.

The actress, who plays a high class London prostitute in UK TV drama 'Secret Diary OF A Call Girl', refuses to let her toes be filmed for the programme, because she finds them "vulgar".

She said: "I hate my feet. They're my least favourite thing in the world. They're really crammed into my adorable shoes. They're so vulgar, and looking at them now makes me want to cry!"

The 27-year-old star admitted filming raunchy scenes for the show can be difficult and she has to be direct with the bit-part actors to help them overcome their nerves.

She explained: "It becomes very intense and nerve-racking, especially for the actors playing the clients who come in just for one day.

"You have to make foul jokes and you have to tear each other apart. It's the only way to get through it. You have to actively give people chewing gum and tell them that their breath really stinks and they need to sort it out."

Billie Piper fantasises about Simon Cowell.

The British star - who married actor Laurence Fox in December 2007 - loves the music mogul's power, arrogance and sense of humour.

She said: "I'm in love with Simon Cowell. I just think he's so funny. There's something about someone who's that powerful, being quite smug and confident about the fact they are one of the most powerful men in the world, and not apologising for it, I love that! I love his arrogance."

The 27-year-old actress - who has a 14-month-old son, Winston James, with Laurence - even dreams about becoming Simon's wife because it would be good for her confidence.

She said in an interview with The Sun newspaper: "I think, 'What are you wearing? Why is your hair like that?' But I still think that if I wasn't married I'd like him to ask for my hand in marriage. Can you imagine? It would be the most amazing day. It would be like being knighted! You'd feel so good about yourself. "

Despite maintaining a close relationship with her ex-husband, radio presenter Chris Evans , the singer-turned-actress would not allow her new husband Laurence Fox to do the same.

She said: "I'd be furious! I'm a jealous partner. You're entering serious bunny boiler territory when Laurence even has to hold hands with a girl he's working with.

"Laurence is just far more relaxed, so much cooler than I am about that kind of thing - it's a testament to who he is really."

Discussing the infamous incident when Chris arrived at the hospital just after her first child Winston was born, Billie told The Observer: "Most relationships would struggle with that.

Dylan Walsh, Julian McMahon, Roma Maffia and the rest of the "Nip/Tuck" cast return from hiatus on Feb. 11 to begin what will be the final episodes of the FX show. "We're wrapping it up," reveals Maffia of the series in which Walsh and McMahon play dysfunctional plastic surgeons and she a caustic lesbian anesthesiologist. She notes that "N/T," now in its fifth season, "is doing well, and it's time to let it go rather than just let it drag on. We'll be finished the end of June, and that will be that. Part of me is in denial. It's nice to have a job, but it's exciting to wonder what might happen next."

This will be an exciting season for Roma's "Nip/Tuck" character, who will be involved in an ongoing major romance with McMahon's Dr. Christian Troy. She notes that, as lesbian Dr. Liz Cruz, she "has been involved with men before," but adds that, rather than sexual, the draw for Dr. Troy she feels "is most likely built on loneliness."
She comments, "Unfortunately, that's rather universal, and it's only when a romance is over that we get to look back on what was the whole picture. It's a matter of having your eyes wide open," says the actress who was married once and has, she says, "no involvements at this time."
TIME ON FOR BAD BEHAVIOR: Host of VH1's "I Love Money 2," Craig J. Jackson, says it doesn't take long for this season's contestants to get straight to the drama. The show, which premieres Monday (2/2), pits 17 so-called "celebreality all-stars" -- previously seen on shows such as "Flavor of Love" and "Rock of Love" -- against one another competing to win $250,000. Old rivalries quickly ignite. "People knew that the money was real, and they came in with game plans, so the emotions kicked in the first day," notes Jackson, who traveled to Mexico with the contestants for the show. "The first episode will be one of the weirdest eliminations on television. I was like, 'Is this really happening?'"
Jackson tells us that even he got in on some of the action. "The people on this show will let you know how they feel. Sometimes they try to test you. We got into a few small altercations, but nothing major," he claims.
"I understand that they're trying to win this money, so emotions are high. It's tough times. Everybody's broke." On top of that, he points out, the group members were dealing with all the stress and conflicts taking place at the house where "I Love Money" headquartered. "I don't take anything personal if they start yelling or whatever. If they start going crazy, I don't really react to it too much. We just try to focus on what will move the show along."
As always, he says, fans can expect a lot of surprises. "The game is always changing. They had their alliances and strategies ready to go, but if you're not able to adjust and change, then you're going home."
MATERNALLY SPEAKING: Billie Piper plays a hot, high-class prostitute on the Showtime series "Secret Diary of a Call Girl," but after giving birth to a baby boy in October, she tells us she has her acting sites set on other things. "I'm desperate to now play a mother. I've been playing 18 year olds for years, and then a 25-year-old with this," notes the British actress. "Now I want to play a mother. Those feelings and emotions are running through me, and it'd be great to use them at work."
