PIPER ABANDONS ACTING TO FOCUS ON MOTHERHOOD

British singer-turned-actress BILLIE PIPER is turning producer in a bid to spend more time with her newborn son. The 26-year-old gave birth to Winston in November (08), her first child with actor husband Laurence Fox, and has juggled being a first-time mum with her hectic acting schedule.
Piper stars in hit U.K. TV series Secret Diary of A Call Girl, about the working life of a high-class prostitute, and is also an executive producer on the show, which is currently running on America's Showtime network.
But the star is finding taking time away from her tot unbearable, and is sidetracking her acting ambitions to focus on launching her own production company from home with Fox.
She tells Britain's The Sun newspaper, “I’m going to wait for the right thing to come along and until that happens, spend time with my son. I don’t want to rush into anything that isn’t right or doesn’t inspire me.
“I have a new baby, so it’s all quite full-on at the moment. You spend a lot of time awake! But I think the worst of the bad sleeping is drawing to an end.
“So it’s ideal having this exec role on the season. It’s a way for me to learn the ropes and be more involved. And in the future, maybe start something up with my husband.
