The two girls, Iulia Volkova and Lena Katina, had to pretend they were lesbians so people would be appalled by their attitude, protest about the band and thus making it more famous worldwide.
I have to admit, I really loved their music, including the Russian versions. Some of the English songs sound much better in Russian. Take “Not Gonna Get Us” for example. It’s better in Russian “Nas Ne Dagonyat”

The idea of the two lesbians girls was Ivan Shapovalov’s. He was the manager of the band since 1999, when Tatu was born!

Meanwhile, things got clearer. Iulia and Lena have made their own families, Iulia had a baby and thus the band had to pause for a while.

The debut album was 200 po vstrecinoi (200 km/h in the Wrong Lane), a great album, by the way!

In 2004 they made a reality show, called: Anatomy of t.A.T.u. Then the girls explained all about the marketing that was behind the band and their sexuality!
Well, you cannot blame the manager for coming up with the gay thing. Iulia and Lena obviously fit together and when people saw them on stage, wearing those skimpy outfits, they couldn’t help but wonder if they were together. Plus, everyone is searching for p0rn on Internet these days. (except for me, of course )

So, if you have remembered TATU, let’s listen to one of their greatest success: Nas Ne Dagonyat!

“I should never think
What’s in your heart
What’s in our home
So I won’t

You’ll learn to hate me
But still call me baby
Oh love
So call me by my name

And save your soul
Save your soul
Before your to far gone
Before nothing can be done

I’ll try to decide when
She’ll lie in the end
I ain’t got no fight in me
In this whole damn world
So hold off
She should hold off
It’s the one thing that I’ve known

Once I put my coat on
I coming out in this all wrong
She standing outside holding me
Saying oh please
I’m in love
I’m in love

Girl save your soul
Go on save your soul
Before it’s to far gone
And before nothing can be done

Cause without me
You got it all
So hold on
Without me you got it all
So hold on
Without me you got it all
Without me you got it all
So hold on
Without me you got it all
Without me you got it all
So hold on “

Krauss is the most decorated female artist in Grammy history with 26 and Robert Plant, the former Led Zepelin, said to a AP reporter:

We ostensibly come from such different places on the musical map. There are radical differences in the ways we’ve gone about enjoying our lives as musicians.

Jennifer Hudson (27) prove she’s a fighter and when she stepped on that stage to receive her Grammy for best R&B album, she fought her tears. Jennifer Hudson performed “You Pulled me Through”, a dramatic but wonderful song.

Rhianna and Chris Brown, who were supposed to performed dropped the show in the last minute. According to police, Brown was detained for assaulting an unidentified woman a night before the Grammy. His bail was $50.000. Rhianna left to support Brown.

The two were both nominated at the Grammy 2009.

Lil Wayne was the winning rapper of the night, being nominated for 8 categories and going home with four of them, including for rap album of the year for “Tha Carter III”.

Coldplay won three awards, including for Song of The Year for “Viva la Vida”.

Adele won a Grammy for Best New Artist and for Best Female Pop Vocal and was crying when she came on stage to collect her second award.

Thank you so much. I’m going to cry. I want to thank my manager, my mom, she’s in London. And Duffy I love you. I think you’re amazing. Jonas Brothers, I love you as well.

Because Rhianna and Chris Brown were not able to make it to the show, Justin Timberlake alongside Al Green, Keith Urban and Boyz II Men performed “Let’s Stay Together”.

A weird moment occurred when M.I.A, who’s pregnant, showed up on stage wearing something that looked like a transparent top (dress perhaps?!) which showed most of her pregnant belly. She performed “Swagga Like Us” with Jay Z, Kanye West, Lil Wayne and T.I.

Amy is partying in the Carribean and we all know what party means for Amy! Tons and tons of alcohol spiced up with a bit of drugs (or perhaps she quit now that she’s left Blake?)

Too bad she’s wasting her life like that Amy Winehouse has an amazing voice and an incredible talent but she’s not very careful about her and her life. It’s such a shame!

Merry Christmas everyone!

In the MTV documentary “Britney: For The Record“, which was screened in the US on Sunday night, the singer told the world about how she feels, about how sad and lonely she is.
Although her latest album, Circus, has been waited by millions of fans, she’s still not happy.
I can’t blame her! How can you have a personal life with all the media around you, chasing you, following your steps?!
Her dream? “That would be heaven for me, to have my kids on an island and a man and no-one could get to us. That’s my thing. When I really love somebody I really love somebody. I give my all. I can’t get enough. I need to be around them all the time. It’s just the best feeling in the world when they give me that feeling.”
Britney broke down in tears when the questions were talking about her and her controlled life:
“You can’t really go there in a complete state of happiness because you’re scared it’s going to be taken away. So it’s better just not to feel anything at all and to have hope to feel the other way….
When I tell people the way I feel they hear me, but they’re really not listening. They hear what they want to hear. They don’t really listen to what I’m telling them. It’s bad. I’m sad.[...] I used to be a cool chick and I feel like the paparazzi has taken my whole cool slang away from me. Like going out and doing stuff and like seeing a guy and hanging out.The way I used to live, I was a pretty cool chick, and I’m not really that anymore.
About her life with Kevin Federline and the dreadful divorce, the singer said she wasn’t thinking clearly but wasn’t doing drugs: “People started thinking I was on drugs. You would think that I would have gone home, I would have taken the kids and I would have gone to Louisiana. I think back now and I’m like, “Why didn’t I in that fragile of a state?” I’m breastfeeding one kid and the other one’s with me and I have a nanny. Why didn’t I just give up and go to Louisiana?”
About the famous “head shaving” episode Britney says it was a “a little bit of rebellion or feeling free. People thought it was me going crazy and stuff, but people shave their heads all the time.”

She longs for her children, she longs to live in New York, where her kids live with their father, Kevin: “My babies’ daddy lives there, so that’s why I have to be there. I can’t go there (to New York) for too long because I go there and then it starts to hurt because I can’t stay there for too long, because it’s not real. [...] Everything is coming together right now. I’m ready to make this a really good phase in my life. I choose to be a happy person. I choose not to be a bitter person. If I have a bad day I get really angry with myself. I have no regrets because I think everything happens for a reason. I just have to look back and say it is what it is and learn from my mistakes and just listen to my instincts more.’
Also, Britney says she’s not a victim of success: “I’ve been placed in that category, for some reason. I hate that because I like to see people making the most of their situation and being positive. I’m a true believer in that it’s all in perspective and let’s be positive, and let’s do that. And me sitting here complaining and stuff like that, I hate it. I hate it when people do that.”

Here is Britney on the X-Factor.

Present at the Children’s Bafta Awards in London, Geri Haliwell was looking fresh and ready to rock when the winter wind came by and showed the world more than we’d expect: a nice view of Geri’s buttocks.

Geri has now entered the world of celebrities who were betrayed by their clothing. At least she’s still good looking

Apparently, Michael got $7 million from the son of the king of Bahrain, a Rolls Royce worth of $275,000 and has his own recording studio. In exchange, Michael Jackson had to record two albums, perform a stage show and release an autobiography.

On the other side, Michael says all the money and goods he received were “gifts” because there was no signed contract.

We’ll see how things go on.

I’m sorry to say, but I haven’t heard about Anastacia’s latest album, Heavy Rotation (good title, by the way!). Her PR is probably asleep! Since her health problems, I thought she was going to lay low for a while and come back with enough strength to kick some teen-wannabe-singers-ass!

If you’re searching on Google for “Anastacia” you will find, on the first page, only one site that’s announcing her latest album. Just try to search for Britney Spears and see how many refferals you’re going to find.

Come on, isn’t there someone who can do a little bit of SEO magic for her? Plus, her official website looks old-fashioned. She deserves more, she’s an amazing singer with a wonderful and strong voice.

I’ve searched on Youtube as well, and guess what? Only one reference to her latest search, on the first page. Really now!

She’s got an amazing voice, she looks hotter than ever (probably being married is wonderful!) and since she had her breast reduction, she’s lost a few pounds and looks amazing at 40.

Anyhow, here’s her latest song, I Can Feel You.
