Bipasha Basu's new look!


When it comes to being experimental and gutsy, there is no female in Bollywood who can compete with Bipasha!

Known for initiating the short-is-in trend last year, the sultry actress is once again sporting a stunning short bob.

Absolutely chic and classy, her first public appearance with the new hair do was at the MTV Hero Honda Roadies event in Mumbai, which really made heads turn.

Adding the ultimate touch to Bipasha's new look, are the copper and reddish brown hair tones.

If you are wondering what prompted Bipasha to chop off her wavy locks even before it is summer, it was just the need for that 'change'.

It seems, Bips just called up Sapna Bhavnani - her hair stylist - and told her that she would drop in the next day to have a short crop. What followed was a two-hour session which ended up in Bips getting a trendy, classic bob cut!

"Bipasha is one of those few people in Bollywood who love to experiment with their hair. Also, what works in her favour is the fact that her hair is luscious, thick and silky.

Her attitude for style is unlike most of the other actresses who prefer to play safe with long hair. I am hopeful that Bipasha's bob will become a rage among fans in the coming season," says Sapna.

Ok Sapna, we'll see, if this hairstyle really becomes a rage!


Bollywood babes performing on New Year's Eve


It's that time of the year when everyone says Goodbye! to the year gone by and get all geared up to say Welcome! to the New Year.

In between the departure of the old year and the advent of New Year lies something like the midnight for which everyone waits with bated breath, to welcome the New Year with open arms.

For the urban crowd, the New Year celebrations include shelling out money in some of the 5 star mega structured hotels to see some of the Bollywood heroines, performing live.

But the flip side of the coin is that this money gets translated into a pot-full of moolah, for these heroines, and these pot-full goes to the tunes of anywhere between a few lakhs till crores, depending upon the saleability quotient of the star.

Bollywood Buzz brings to you an insight of the star-charges and the places where you can go star-hunting (with the damages, of course!)

Topping this year's pricey-list is none other than Bipasha Basu who will be performing at the JW Marriott, Juhu.

She is reportedly said to be charging a staggering Rs 90 lakhs!

The costs of the tickets are kept at Rs 11,500 per person (including taxes and food). But then, who needs booze when the intoxicating Bips is around!

Though some portion of the market says that the figures have just been exaggerated (and that the actual figures rest at Rs 72 lakhs), whereas the other portion of the market says that the figure quoted is lesser than what she is charging (and that the actual figures rest at a staggering Rs 1.23 crores!)

Rumors have it that come what may, Bipasha cannot be a Mallika Sherawat as the latter's pull is far greater than the former.
