t.A.T.u.
The truth behind the rumours!
Impossible to escape the tsunami of those lolitas come from the cold! Brought along with the tide of "All The Things She Said", Julia and Lena are #1 in all of Europe, even in England. And like self-respecting stars, our two Tatu Girls confront all the rumours spinning around them... All sorts of rumours! So, should we believe everything said about t.A.T.u.? For Super, they set things straight. Finally!


True or False?

Julia has health problems
True!

Lena: "Julia was suffering from laryngitis, for some time now. She had to go see several doctors, but i'm not sure if she's going to get better any time soon. She has to have surgery done, but not before next summer. Her voice is okay, I mean, we're starting to record our new album, in Russian. Because, there's no way that we would forget our country and our very first fans. We are Russian artists, and we will always be Russian artists."

t.A.T.u. have been getting arrogant
False!

Julia: "No, we haven't changed. People simply aren't used to having people bluntly tell them what's on their minds, especially in Western Europe. WE come from a country that is very harsh and you can feel that in our behavior. In fact, we haven't been affected by stardom. In Russia, we still have our old friends, even if some of them have changed their attitudes towards us, maybe because of jealousy. But they still have a place in our hearts and we would come to their aid if there was ever any need for it."

They've known each other since they were little!
True!

Lena: "We've known each other for eight or nine years now. Before, we were a part of Neposedi. It was a professional children's group, that was very popular back in Moscow. We were members for three years. We had problems with our former producer. He wouldn't give us any freedom, not even to talk!" (Oh reeeeaally? How curious. -E.)

They often fight!
False!

Julia: "No, that's not true. It's happened though, after our European promo tour. Traveling non-stop is tiring, especially at our age. It's true that we've fought before, but just this once, and we had to take rooms on different floors of the hotel, we were kind of on edge and we just blew up. But we won't say why. What's certain is that we have very different personalities. I'm really active and have a tendency to flirt, where as Lena is rather the jealous type and is easily hurt by my attitude."

They've hooked Marilyn Manson!
True!

Lena: "We're not really friends with him, but we had the opportunity to meet him in the States and to have taken a picture with him. He's really someone we like, a real superstar in Russia, but we didn't absolutely have to meet him. To be honest, I think Marilyn Manson really liked Yulia. He absolutely wanted to go out partying with her." (Buh? They met him in Barcelona, no? After the EMAs. And he was totally attached by the hip to Lena. Sum'un's not gettin' right. Tsk. Hee. -E.)

Julia likes boys.
True!

Julia: "Rumours have me with a new fiancй every week. But it's all sheer make-believe. It's been written that I'm going out with Sergei Lazzrev of Smash (Russian pop group). The truth is that I've known him since I was little. He was also a part of Neposedi, the children's croup that we were a apart of. We're great friends, but we're not a couple."

They've made a film!
True!

Lena: "We made a film last summer. It's a documentary about our lives, what's happened to us in the past two years. We reveal some of our little secrets. Our record company was a little afraid of censorship issues at some point. But we hope that our fans will be able to see it soon."

They are scan-da-lous!
False!

Lena: "Many people were shocked by our clips and our words. But, honestly, we don't see where the problem is exactly. We have no vices, we don't smoke and we are against drug use. People can't consider us as scandalous!" (They don't smoke? Huh. -E.)

Super Plus!
* Julia and Lena recently had a sexy photoshoot for the "Maxim" magazine. * Some European TV stations, such as M6 (French music channel -E.), have censored the video "All The Things She Said" because of the passionate kisses between Lena and Julia. * According to other rumours, more recently, Julia is said to have lost her virginity to some boy from a small Russian vilage where her grandparents lived. Oops! (Recent my butt. :P -E.)
