Billie Piper. Formerly Billie - clean cut, girl-next-door, annoying and from Swindon. But now she's rediscovered her surname, learnt from the Book of Britney and finds she just can't get clothes to cover her midriff. After bursting into our lives 2 years ago as a chirpy 15 year old, she became the face of pre-pubescent must-read Smash Hits, had a few #1s, released an album and then disappeared from the public eye.

Then something happnened. Britney Spears. After capturing the hearts of the fickle pop pickers. Britney was promptly joined by Christina, Jessica and Mandy and Billie was forgotten about, famous only for being the girlfriend of the Julian Clary look-alike from 5ive. And so to succeed in the overcrowded pop princess market, Billie's return had to be spectacular and so Britney's style, image and "sound" were mimiced.

Earlier in the year Billie released her comeback single, Baby One Mo... I mean Day and Night, which, thanks to heavy airplay and Billie's willingness to pose for aevery men's magazine got to #1.

So what does the future hold for Ms. Piper? Well considering the fact she only sat 3 GCSEs, her career is everything and she can be expected to recreate her style evereytime a new trend emerges. Thankfully she won't have to metamorphosise into an Irish boyband or a Latino crooner. That's SO last century.
