I love Billie!Fametastic:
Billie Piper has said she hopes her school friend Amy Winehouse has a better time in 2008 than she’s had in 2007.
The former Doctor Who star told the Sunday Mirror recently: “I was at Sylvia Young’s Theatre School in London with Amy and she was a mate.”
“I love her - I hope there’s a happy ending, particularly because she is so talented. Her lyrics are so painful and angst-ridden, beautifully written, well-observed stuff. She’s a very clever musician.”
The two women have a lot of things in common - both have admitted to suffering from eating disorders in their teens and have had high-profile relationship troubles as well as deal with fame at a young age - but Billie added that while she feels she has a handle on life at the moment, she won’t be telling Amy how to turn things around.
She explained: “I wouldn’t be so presumptuous as to give her advice as she battles her demons, she has to work things out for herself. But I hope she has people around her who take care of her.”
