New Year with Bipasha Basu

If Mallika Sherawat rocked Mumbai last year on New Year's Eve, this year is the turn of Bipasha Basu and Rakhi Sawant.

Both will add sizzle to the New Year revelry at five star hotels in Mumbai.

Bipasha will perform at the J W Marriott in the western Mumbai suburb of Juhu.

Last year, there were unconfirmed reports that Mallika charged up to Rs 50 lakhs (Rs 5 million) for her show at the same venue.

Mallika's act, in which she danced in a skin-coloured outfit and walked off the stage when she realised the show was being filmed for television, ran into controversy.

Let's hope Bips has a better experience than the Murder bombshell.
