Billie Piper Scans
It's Not About Harry Potter!
Last Sunday I was at car Boot sale with Doug and the boys, when I was presented with incontrovertible proof that Fandom Has Taken Over My Life. I bought a 2000 Billie, Princess of Pop Annual. Granted it was only 50p, but still... I'd seen it, laughed at the rather naff choice of pictures on the cover, and walked on. It was as I walked away I had a little voice going through my head "Come on, buy it. You could have a laugh at the photo's. You could scan in the pictures and share them with the online who fans. After all, the non-British fans have escaped her pop career so far... Come on, it would be funny." So, whilst Doug headed to other side of the field and tried to pretend he wasn't married to me, I went back and bought it. And now I share it's delights with you, my fellow Doctor Who fans.
To start, we have the cover -
The larger picture isn't too bad, but the full length one? For a start she looks so young! 
And the less said about the pose, the better.
Then we move on to the back cover.
I feel that the person choosing the pictuers, doesn't have Billie's best interests at heart. (Note the Totally Unofficial in the top left corner)
Title Page
Now this is a pretty cute picture.

Not too bad, but wait til you see the full length outfit.
Introduction
I just want to know what look their trying to achieve with that orange thing.
Billies World
"Billie was Born on 22nd September 1982 in Swindon" That makes her 17 at the time of this annual. "Her full name is Billie Paul Piper, but she was registered for three weeks as Leanne." Did her parents want a boy? (But she got off lightly... Leanne?) "Her biggest influence is Madonna" Fortunately that influence doesn't seem to extend into her acting.
This is also where we find conclusive prove that Child Pop Stars suffered from Child Abuse.
Really, after being forced to pose with Mr Blobby; Daleks, Slitheen and Autons don't seem so terrifying.
Because We Want To
"I think the reason everybody likes the song is 'cos it's good fun. It's about being youthful and rebellious in a positive way." Billie on 'Because We Want To
You might think from the lyrics and video to 'Because We Want To' that Billie is a bit bossy. In fact, she maintains that she's really a bit of a softy. It's just that when she's performing, a darker side of her sometimes pops out which is a lot more forceful and pushy. Subtext - Girls, if you stand up for yourselves, you are being bad (dark, evil) and won't get any boys. Play at Girl Power all you want, so long as you are really a pushover at heart.
I'm letting this one speak for itself. And the outfit too...
The Girl Next Door
That top photo is not flattering...
She Wants You
In the video for "She Wants You" it looks like Billie and her friends are enjoying themselves in some sunny place. The video was in fact filmed in Greenwich, London - and to make things worse, it was a miserable day. However, the gorgeous male dancers raised Billie's spirits, and, although she facied one of them, he was 20 and a bit too old for her.
Hee haa! So Chris Evans wasn't her first older man? She obvious got over this "too old for her" nonsense. ;-)
If she really fancied someone, Billie says that she would go ahead and ask him out. However, she'd be discreet about it, she wouldn't blatantly ask them out. Subtext, girls, don't be forward. No one likes a slut.
(She obviously got over the discreet thing with Chris Evans as well. They certainly didn't display much familiarity with the concept)
I must say here, that despite thinking Billie could do so much better, I was rooting for Chris and Billie's marriage, mainly to prove the tabloids wrong. And does anyone else think twenty two is far too young to be divorced?
Even though Billie readily admits that she thinks Kavana is gorgeous and funny, and she'd love to snog him, she says that they are just good friends. He's like an older brother to her, and is always there to give her advice, especially when it comes to handling all the pressures of being a pop star. Remember Kavana? No? Me neither. (Had to look him up)
Boyfriends have to take a backseat for Billie - her careeer is number one. (Not long after this she started going out with Ritchie from 5ive didn't she?)
As well as Kavana, Billie has also admitted to fancying Ma$e, Robbie Williams, Prince William, Leonardo DiCaprio, Paul Dannon from Hollyoaks, Brad Pitt, Puff Daddy, Brian from the Backstreet Boys and ALL of 5ive. Phew, quite a list. Well, she got one of them
I Dream
Although Billie loves the fact that being a pop star means she gets to travel the world, there are drawbacks. In Japan she couldn't get her favourite beans on toast! Hee hee! Beans on Toast!
Billie wants peoplpe to like her music and the way she is - not just the way she looks. Aww, bless!
(Cute picture on the bottom right BTW)
Whatcha Gonna Do?
If she takes off in America there's a good chance that Billie would get her own TV series - called quite simply 'Billie'. Huh? And those are the most unattractive trousers ever.
And I end with the last page
As these pictures don't belong to me feel free to use them anyway you wish, but I would be grateful for the credit for the scanning.
