Tatu want to change their orientation. (Komsomolskaya Pravda - Russia)

...The talks about the fact that Tatu and Ivan Shapovalov have relationship problems have been around for a while. And all of a sudden the girls from Tatu start to show everyone Shapovalov’s “dirty laundry” on their new reality show “Tatu in Podnebesnaya” on STS in front of their audience.

Here is an extract from the interview of the channel with Lena Katina:

”...I am very disappointed in him (Shapovalov. - KP). I used to trust Vanya... Then we started to go around in circles – we sit around with one program. Although everyone knows, that something has to be done, but nothing ever gets done... And two years went by like this...

There is a wish to continue all of this, but maybe not as group “Tatu”… make something different.”

And here is an extract from the interview of the channel with Julia Volkova:

”Of course I am disappointed that we planned one thing, and it turns out that Vanya is taking control of everything there (In “Podnebesnaya”. – KP). And we are nobody there... I’m under impression that Shapovalov is the star who organises everything, talk to people... And they don’t need us after Vanya. They look and think to themselves: ‘Are the girls like this, too?’”

Although, some of the people from the audience doubted the girls: what if it was Shapovalov’s idea for the girls to bah him? Because the interest in the boring project is declining... We decided to talk to the members of the conflict.

The girls were not in “Podnebesnaya” on Monday. But they came to hotel “Pekin” on Tuesday to meet up with the famous music critic Atrem Troitsky, who out of the blue recommended the girl to become lawyers, and better yet - get married.

When Shapovalov approached the girls (he was obviously out of shape), he started to kiss Julia, asked the girls to come up to “Podnebesnaya”, but the girls refused. They gave the interview to a reporter from “KP”.

Julia Volkova: I’ve been dating a guy for two years

”Is it possible that your scandal with Shapovalov can lead to you guys abandoning him?” I asked Lena and Julia directly.”

Lena: “Anything can happen in life... Everything will turn out fine with us. With Shapovalov or without him. We’ll see.”

”Aren’t you afraid that Shapovalov will take away your name, your image?”

Lena: “Why should we be affraid?.. We have all the rights. Including legal rights. By the way, from the 24th of December I have some other rights. My driver’s license!”

”Some people predict the loss of interest in group Tatu among your audience. What will you do?”

Julia: “We’ll make another project!”

”Together with Lena or separately?”

Julia: “Together.”

“There are rumors, Julia, that you have been experiencing some problems with your voice… even now your voice sounds hoarse...”

Julia: There were problems… Not any more.”

”In the interview with STS Lena said: “We have to change something”. What exactly would you want to change?”

Lena: “Orientation!” (Looks at Julia as though they both have a plan.)

”By the way, do you girls have boyfriends?”

Julia: “Yes. I have a boyfriend. We are together for two years. Pasha. Sportsman. I won’t tell you his surname. I am not getting married yet.”

Lena shyly kept quiet... It was obvious that the girls weren’t telling the whole story. But they opened up at the end of the conversation:

”Soon our lives will experience huge changes. But now it’s to early to go into details!”

Ivan Shapovalov: our conflict is not a lie!

I called producer Ivan Shapovalov for comments:

”Is the conflict with the girls real or just a publicity stunt?”

”It’s real, although they never told me about their complaints to my face!”

”There are rumors that group Tatu may fall apart.”

”Everything can fall apart. Ever countries fall apart!”

”Does Julia have problems with her voice?”

”Yes. She told me about them. She needs time for her voice to recover.”

”How is the new album coming along?”

”Like it does now. I think the album will be released on time.”
