Surprise! Tatu to split. Even more shocking 'not lesbians'

All the news 'print to fit' from

The situation in the group is getting tense. The two girls started liking one and the same boys - the lesbian love was just a promotional trick. Julia has a boyfriend now, which is another reason for jealousy.

Julia's boyfriend does not drink alcohol - he leads a healthy lifestyle and drinks only juice. Lena and Katya refused to drink alcohol beverages too (in Japan, young people are allowed to drink alcohol after 25).

Obviously the old joke that, "There was no news in Pravda and no truth in Isvestiya" is not quite correct in this case.
In Russian, Pravda means "Truth" and Isvestia means "News".

YOU MEAN THEY LIED TO US? THEY WEREN"T REAL 100% GENUINE LESBIANS???

Ppphht! Duh!

Well, looks like they really are finished with singing. First the Japan tour that wasn't, now this info that its all an act and they're fighting over a boyfriend.

Oh well, I really did like the music. Won't be surprise to find they actually pulled a Milli Vanilli and that 2 cute lesbian chicks who like over-weight American men are the real singers...

Uh, you like their music? It's throw-away pop, nothing more.

It's throw-away pop, nothing more.

And in the East corner we have....



And in the West it's...



Both much appreciated by the 'older' generation in Japan

And I'm sure I'll get sick of it soon, but I don't have much exposure to it. I don't listen to the pop stations and loathe (E)M(p)TV. To further clarify, I like All the things she said (in Russian), Robot(In Russian) and Not gonna get us (In Russian). Not much else. Mainly the pseudo-techno stuff. For a good workout/study music I prefer KMFDM.

Surprise? What is that? Nothing about pop music has the power to surprise, not from any country. It's almost the definition of the thing.

The article said that people can only drink in Japan from age 25? Is this for real???

Do young Japanese obey this rule, because 25 is a pretty high limit.......

I thought it was 20.

[Alcazar]

Yep,

Your're right, I checked, it is 20.

I saw those Tatu girls on the Eurovision song contest this year, and it was rumoured that they were going to do something outrageous like strip off because of an argument with the event management. Didn't happen, but you can imagine them being slapped after shows by their Russian mafia/producers/minders, saying 'Act more Lesbian!'.

I haven't heard anything else report this...it's just a rumor, isn't it...

[cliffy]

Nahh the story was the event management told TATU that any suspect act would bring the curtain down instantly. They had a dummy spit at rehersal and threatened to not perform, got told a tape would be played then performed, badly imho, a very bland show.
