Bengali Beauty bars it all for the cover, this is her second cover for maxim magazine, she was on it last time in September 2009. Bipasha Basu’s bar back act surly help to fight very cold winter season. Stay tuned for Bipasha Maxim Photoshoot, till then enjoy Bipasha Basu.

Bong beauty Bipasha Basu has signed her first Hollywood film, ‘Singularity’, which also stars Abhay Deol in lead role. The film will be directed by English-French director Roland Joffe.
Bipasha met Roland Joffe at a hotel in Mumbai in September. The film is budgeted at $33 million, and is a tale of a love, set across two time periods and continents.
Bips confirmed the news saying, “I am very excited…but have to admit that I am also a little nervous. Everything happened really fast.”
The film is set in the backdrop of the First Anglo-Maratha War of the 18th century and describes four characters – a British officer in colonial India, an Indian woman he falls in love with, an American marine biologist and his researcher lover — who gets trapped in a wrecked British merchant ship.

At a recent event, Indian cricket captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni acted as a protective friend to Bengal beauty Bipasha Basu, when the fans around them turned unruly.

The two celebrities along with cricket legend Kapil Dev were in Surat (Gujarat) on Monday for the inauguration of new five-star hotel The Grand Bhagwati. When they entered the venue, the excited crowd became totally unmanageable, which made the stars difficult to walk across the stage.

Taking control over the situation, Dhoni stepped in front of Basu, not giving much thought to his own safety and guided the actress protectively out of the mob.

Although the two managed to come out of it, Bipasha received a minor injury above her left eye.

But as they say, it pays to be a star…. Basu brushed off the whole thing casually, saying that it was nothing major. “There were just too many people and the security was outnumbered. But at the end everything was okay,” remarked the beauty.

Bipasha Basu lost her role in Raavan as Mandodari (Raavan’s wife in the Ramayan) because the starcast is already top heavy.
Check this out: Aishwarya Rai Bachchan (Sita), South superstar Vikram (Ram), Abhishek Bachchan (Raavan); National Award winner Priya Mani (Shoorpankha), Govinda (Hanuman) etc.
TOI was the first to report that Bips was actually ready with costume and almost getting into her car to drive to Malshej, when she got unceremoniously dumped because it took the creative team that long to decide whether she should drive to the location or not. However, there are websites and papers still writing about Bips being dropped because certain members of the cast were threatened by her dominating screen presence. Now that isn’t true. Honestly, wish people would just let some matters ride.
Ash and Bips shared great vibes during Dhoom-2 and they are quite civil with each other. Bips is doing Dum Maro Dum that has Abhishek in the lead and though Bips is cast with Rana Dagubatti, she and AB Junior get along famously. So who is arriving at all these theories one wonders?

Looking ravishing and svelte in her new chiselled figure, Bollywood actress Bipasha Basu launched her workout DVD for women here Friday evening, and said even her macho beau John Abraham could’nt resist trying out the fitness regime.

The 31-year-old launched her DVD, “Bipasha Basu love yourself…fit & fabulous you”, targeted towards women at an event here.

“Even though I have targeted this DVD towards women, if guys want they can try too… John once tried the exercise and he was blown away,” said Bipasha.

Bipasha, who is known to be a fitness enthusiast has created a unique work out programme lasting 25 minutes. The DVD has been launched under Shemaroo. It is based on the core idea and motive of being strong, healthy and loving yourself.

“Be strong and healthy, love yourself. Make time for your own self. Looking good is an extra bonus. If your health is good, every aspect of your life is fantastic. Your focus in life is better; you achieve your goals faster. Exercising and eating right is a big challenge. But we have to accept this challenge, if we love ourselves,” added Bipasha.

Actress Bipasha Basu and singer Sudesh Bhosle will add glitz to the New Year eve celebrations at the Sahara Star Hotel here, says an official.

“Bipasha Basu will perform in our hotel on New Year eve,” Vivek Kumar, CEO of hotel, told IANS.

He, however, refused to reveal how much Bipasha was charging for her performance.

“She is priceless. We do not attach any price to art, but yes, there are certain commitments that will be fulfilled,” said Kumar, and added that Sudesh Bhonsle would also perform.

Asked about other performers, he said: “We are in very advanced talks with some other celebrities and I think it will be confirmed very soon who else are going to be there.”

Kumar informed that they have designed various packages and priced them differently for those who want to enjoy the New Year eve extravaganza.

She is known for her bold image in Bollywood, but dusky beauty Bipasha Basu will now be seen in a slew of non-commercial films like the Bengali “Shob Charitro Kalponik”, “Pankh” and “Lamhaa”. She insists she is not making any special attempts to change her image and would love to do more Bengali films if they are interesting.

“I like to do films that are entertainers, glamorous, fun, action and definitely realistic. There is no effort that I am putting towards an image change with non-commercial films. I just feel that in the Hindi film industry, where you look in a particular manner, people consider your USP as something and you get a little typecast,” Bipasha told IANS in a telephone interview from Mumbai.

“But I’m not trying to break any typecast. It’s just that within the given limitations, I’m trying to push and taste everything a little bit,” she added.

Bipasha plays a Kashmiri girl in director Rahul Dholakia’s “Lamhaa”, has a supporting role in arthouse film “Pankh’” and in her just released Bengali film debut she plays a typical sari-wearing Bengali woman.

And yet again Bipasha Basu and John Abraham are back in the news. However, this time it is not for reasons for yet another break-up rumor. The hot and happening couples are still very much together however, when John is out shooting, it doesn’t stop Bipasha from stepping out and having a good time. More recently the svelte actress was out seen partying with ex-flames Dino Morea. The duo were seen having a good time at a common friends farewell party while John Abraham was out of town shooting.
Individually the trio will be seen in a number of films—just not together! Bips will next be seen in Pankh, All The Best, Lamhaa and a Bengali film Sob Choritro Kalponik. John Abraham has Aashayein, Hook Ya Crook, Film City and 1-800-Love coming up. Dino Morea has Acid Factory and Pyaar Impossible on the horizon.
While staying on the topic on Dino Morea, he has also gained an immense fan-following on Twitter. The model-actor keeps followers entertained with nonstop updates and twit-pics—photographs.

Thmakers of Neil Nitin Mukesh and Bipasha Basu starrer Aa Dekhen Zara are set to release the fast-paced romantic musical thriller again on Friday. Director Jehangir Surti’s film was first released on March 27 and was shown only in single screen theatres because of the stand-off between producers and multiplexes.

But now when the matter is resolved, Aa Dekhen Zara is being re-released on a big scale — it will hit 170 screens across India.”This is a perfect opportunity to re-release the film. We are really excited and looking forward to audiences visiting theatres to watch one of the first films to be released post strike.

Movie buffs, who missed it earlier, can see it now,” said producer Viki Rajani in a press statement.

You may have heard of actors swimming under the moonlight.But have you heard of swimming in floodlit pools? But Bipasha Basu is different. The actress and the female members of her staff — including her two dress designers and her hairdresser actually prefer to swim in the dark.

In Goa, where they are currently shooting for All The Best, the dusky beauty waits till it is dark and then she and her entourage head towards the hotel’s swimming pool so that no one takes notice of them.

“If there are lights on around the pool, we switch those off too,” says Bipasha who doesn’t wish to be disturbed when she is swimming. This is one dark secret Bipasha has no problems sharing with the world.
