Belle pursues a new, seemingly exciting business opportunity on the August 4 “Episode 8” of Showtime’s Secret Diary of a Call Girl, which also serves as the series’ first-season finale.
When an American film producer convinces the hooker she can make even more money than usual by joining a group of highly paid international courtesans, Belle gives the idea a shot. To her dismay, however, she soon learns that courtesans have to give up much more of their freedom to please demanding clients.

The July 28 “Episode 7” of Secret Diary of a Call Girl features a foursome.
That’s actually not the most distinctive part of the plot, however, because Belle ends up with an unusual “colleague” to help round out the group — the one and only Ben, who’s recently devoted so much effort to giving our dear hooker a hard time for pursuing her profession of choice.
In the two sneak peeks after the jump, Ben interviews for the odd job in Job Interview, and Belle gives him some reassurance in the clip Standard Practice.

The July 21 episode of Showtime’s hit British import Secret Diary of a Call Girl gets downright scary, thanks to the darn Internet and hooker Belle’s determination to keep her expensive lifestyle intact.
When someone gives the prostitute a bad review online, the news spreads quickly, leading to a substantial decrease in her number of clients. The lack of work causes Belle to schedule clients she wouldn’t if business was fine, and she ends up meeting with a certified weirdo as a result.
Check out the second video following the jump, appropriately titled Just Go, to get an idea of just …read more

Uh-oh, guys! The July 14 episode of Showtime’s racy — or should I say “saucy”? — Secret Diary of a Call Girl is probably the one you’ve been hoping for all along.
When one of Belle’s regulars makes a request for a very special threesome, everyone’s favorite prostitute decides to get over her dislike of working with other women and welcome her fellow hooker Naomi into her client’s, I assume, gigantic bed.
Too bad, then, that just as Belle becomes more “sociable,” the new whore on the scene establishes better “rapport” with her client and steals him right away. It’s …read more

You know, I really wish somebody would give Secret Diary of a Call Girl’s episodes proper titles!
Now that I’ve gotten that off my chest, here’s what’s happening next on the July 7 episode of the hit new comedy: Belle isn’t too thrilled when she learns Ben is engaged and didn’t bother to tell her sooner, but that doesn’t stop her from seeking out help from a dominatrix in order to please an S&M-loving client.
A little Monday S&M to jump-start the week — nice. Two previews follow to get fans, er, excited about the next installment.

Wow! This episode of Showtime’s Secret Diary of a Call Girl should remind us all of just how small our own problems are. When you live the life of prostitute Belle, life gets really tough.
For instance, during her latest all-night adventure in getting paid for sex, Belle decides to step out on her customer by hooking up with another customer … in the same hotel. But can she manage to satisfy Man #2, who seems tireless, before Man #1 wakes up and discovers she’s gone?
See what I mean? How will she possibly make it out of …read more

Following last Monday’s series premiere, it looks like Showtime has an undeniable hit in the U.K. hooker series Secret Diary of a Call Girl, starring former Doctor Who actress Billie Piper.
In the second episode coming up this Monday, Hannah/Belle scores a new client who takes her to a big-time party she’s long wanted to attend. Unfortunately, family obligations intervene, and when she has to meet her relatives unexpectedly, she’s also put in the position of having to explain why her appearance is so, well, slutty.
See exactly what I mean in the following clip from the episode — it’s a …read more

Cable’s Showtime has a new comedy called Secret Diary of a Call Girl premiering Monday night at 10:30pm EST that stars former Doctor Who companion Billie Piper as a companion of a whole ‘nother kind.
The U.K. series already aired across the pond from September to November 2007, where it quickly gained popularity. Based on a book based on a blog — yes, a blog, and one hosted by Blogger at that! — anonymously written by a person who claims to be a London prostitute, the show follows her life and times as she mostly contentedly plies her trade.

The 14th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards on Sunday were a big deal because the event happened to be the first entertainment awards ceremony this year that had the full approval of the striking Writers Guild of America. In other words, the stars were out in full force since they weren’t crossing a picket line, and the fans and paparazzi were able to go crazy over the red-carpet arrivals. Ahhh, to be a worshipper at the altar of celebrity, which I should note I am most definitely not.
Now on to the winners for comedy listed first in each …read more
