Pamela Anderson or Barbara Mori in list of Big Boss 4 contestants ?

Will it be Pamela Anderson or Barbara Mori in the Bigg Boss house when Season 4 of the show, hosted by Salman Khan, takes off on October 3? A section of the media has jumped the gun in announcing that sexy Pam is all set to make her Indian television debut by way of Bigg Boss 4 , but sources at Colors — the channel airing the show — claim that “ the tossup is between” the former Baywatch hottie and Barbara, the Mexican beauty who starred opposite Hrithik Roshan in Kites , and that “ a final decision on either girl is yet to be taken”. The show always features one foreign beauty among the contestants.


“ Both Barbara and Pamela have shown interest in Bigg Boss. But a deal has to be finalised. Barbara wants to be on Bigg Boss 4 because she needs a platform to give out the message that she is serious about a career in Bollywood after Kites . Pamela would love to be on the show because it would help her foray into Indian showbiz. But Pamela has demanded a huge amount of money, so we are still undecided about her,” says a production head of the show.

Pamela wants an amount of over Rs 2crore. Barbara, on the other hand, has reportedly agreed to feature on the show for Rs 50lakh.

“ Pamela’s agent is in Mumbai to negotiate for the show. A final decision on her will be taken depending on the number of days she would agree to stay in the house for the big money she is demanding,” adds the source.

Over the past couple of years, having a foreign beauty has worked wonders for garnering good TRPs. Jade Goody, Shilpa Shetty’s tormentor on Celebrity Big Brother , did the trick on Season 2 while Bollywood wannabe Claudia Ciesla was roped in last year for Bigg Boss 3 . Since the show goes on air this weekend, the channel plans to lock one name out of Pamela and Barbara for Season 4 in a day or two.

The channel is also keen to have Barbara since she is familiar to India as she has stayed in India while shooting for Kites . “ If the channel closes a deal with either Barbara or Pamela, the celebrity in question will fly down to Mumbai by October 2,” said the production head.
