T.A.T.U. Articles, Interviews & Hot News Russian lesbian duo takes Middle Eastern audience by storm... This lesbian duo seems very contrived. I wouldn't doubt their whole image was manufacted by their agent and assorted Russian mobsters looking to be the next Lou Perlman. Does anyone have the real deal on them? The new Russian duo TATU, formed by two teenage Russian lesbians, Lena Katina and Julia Volkova, has taken the music world by storm reaching number one in most music charts around the globe. Feisty brunette Julia and soulful redhead Lena, two teenage girls from Moscow are the Russian equivalent of pop-meets-prodigy. Read More From Russia with love comes naughty T.A.T.U. The music industry may be shakier than a drunkard walking a balance beam, but at least one new act is rocking steady. That would be T.A.T.U., aka Russian exports Lena Katina and Julia Volkova, whose tinny electro-pop is winning over fans faster than you can say Milli Vanilli. So irresistible is their sound that their first American single, All the Things She Said, has risen to No. 8 on Top 40 radio and landed them a slew of high-profile TV gigs.

Some like trance - they go to see groups like, I don't know, PPK. And somebody likes pop and goes to see Britney Spears. Read More Tatu relaunching themselves as man-eating heterosexuals So it is an end to the naughty schoolgirls routine for Lena Katina and Julia Volkova as they try to top the charts again. The pair may even change the name of their band in an effort to distance themselves from their old image for good. Mind you, the Russian duo could hardly keep up the pretence — Lena is a mum of one and Julia is getting married.

Read More Tatu drop lesbian image Russian lesbian act TATU are preparing for yet another crack at regaining their chart success - this time as lusty heterosexuals.
