TATU: Just Good Friends? ("LIME" Magazine - Malaysia)Time of publication: 22.03.2003 |
Much controversy surrounds Russian duo, Tatu.

Placing an ad in the Russian press, he auditioned Julia and Lena, liked what he saw and turned them into stars. Of course, the fact that the girls are in love with each other (and prone to public displays of affection) has given Tatu that much-needed salacious edge. But is their love for real? Or is it the creation of a savvy salesman? After all, there have been reports of the girls having boyfriends! This is all getting too much for us...
