Has Ivan Shapovalov decided to cheat on t.A.T.u.? (7th Februar 2004)
A girl began to appear in Podnebesnaya at whom the producer is looking with an interest. The rumours, that t.A.T.u. girls are in a conflict with their producer got a ground lately. In the reality show t.A.T.u. in Podnebesnaya (aired on weekends by STS), the girls were giving their boss a drubbing. Either they were not satisfied with the songs, or with Ivan’s behaviour or something else. As it turned out lately it wasn’t a matter of their caprice or a PR stunt but a pure reality. Fights between the producer and the girls gave gone too far. The dispute arose mainly between Yulia and Ivan. As for Lena – she’s probably got upset with Ivan to keep her friend a company. Now Volkova is waiting for Ivan to apologise, and Shapovalov in his turn is waiting the same from her. Thus, the girls prefer not to visit Podnebesnaya until such confession takes place. On the contrary, Ivan prefers to spend lots of time there – together with the musicians, choosing songs for t.A.T.u.’s new album. He states that, no matter what, but the album will be recorded with a quality and on time. There’s one more person who constantly visits the Pekin Hotel – some girl X. They say, that now, the producer’s eye is laid on her. X was supposed to perform as a back-up singer for Yulia and Lena at Eurovision in Ireland, but something went wrong that time. Maybe, some serious changes and a new rival are waiting for t.A.T.u. in the nearest future? By the way, the reality show is aired now one hour later – at 23.00. As STS explained, it was done for the audience’s sake: the majority of the Tv-audience watching that show is just approaching their Tv sets at that time.

Lena hatte nur Ärger mit Ivan um auf der Seite ihrer Freundin zu sein. Nun wartet Julia auf eine Entschuldigung von Ivan, und Ivan seinerseits erwartet das selbe von ihr. Deshalb ziehen es die Mädchen vor Podnebesnaya nicht zu besuchen bis eine Aussprache stattgefunden hat.

Im Gegensatz zieht es Ivan vor viel Zeit in Podnebsnaya zusammen mit den Musikern zu verbringen und Songs für Tatus neues Album auszusuchen. Er sagte, dass egal was ist, das Album wird mit Qualität aufgenommen und zur rechten Zeit.

Da ist noch eine weitere Person, die das Podnebenaya regelmäßig besucht, das Mädchen X. Sie sagen, dass Augen merk des Producers jetzt auf ihr liegt.

Vielleicht warten in naher Zukunft ein paar merkwürdige Veränderungen und eine neue Rivalität auf die Mädchen?

Group " Тату " should go on Friday to Singapore on the third annual ceremony of rewarding MTV Asia Awards 2004 which will pass on February, 14 in stadium Singapore Indoor Stadium. Probably, it will be the last trip of Lena Katina and Yulia Volkova as participants of the group Tatu. At the moment the legal firm " JAkovlev and partners ", representing interests of girls, works above cancellation of their contracts with producer Ivan Shapovalov and his company " NEFORMAT". Probably, "Tatu" will return from Asia as heroes - the duet is nominated on premium MTV Asia Awards in two nominations: " Breakthrough of the year "and" the Best pop group ". However in the near future Yulia and Lena are going to break off business relations with the producer, having left from the group, their glorified. Last week Yulia and Lena have visited the hotel " Peking " where there is a studio of teleproject "Tatu" in Celestial ", only once. They informed the producer of group Ivan Shapovalovu about the intention of terminating the contracts with producer company " NEFORMAT". Among the numerous scandals created by Ivan Shapovalov, this - the most serious.
" The reasons, - lawyer Andrey Jakovlev, one and a half year representing informed "News" interests Volkova and Katina, - are stated in the document. If in the most general features - our clients are dissatisfied with the work of the producer. The girls do not want to finish their musical career. They want to work both will work, be engaged in creativity and will stay a duet. The girls very much want to write down the second album, and they are going to make it ". But already without producer Ivan Shapovalov. A problem that rights on the name of a duet belong to Shapovalov's company " NEFORAMT". And it hardly will sell or will transfer their girls. Thus, Lena Katina and Yulia Volkova should think out the new name for a duet and will have to find a new producer. A question of "News", whether the girls have begun independent work above a new album, Mr. Jakovlev has left " without comments ".Girls in conversation with the correspondent of "News" also have refused any comments. Ivan Shapovalov has given "News" rather vast comment, having informed as a matter of fact only, that hopes for the safe sanction of a disputed situation. " Nobody did state any complaints to me. But, maybe, they want to terminate contracts to conclude new ", - it has told. The material for second album "Tatu", by words of Shapovalov, is available, and the part even is written down.

17.02.2004 (23:52) Shapovalov is in Podnebesnaya, not Tatu
Group Tatu decided to break off from their producer Ivan Shapovalov. Having accused Shapovalov of all of the mortal sins on their reality show "Tatu in Podnebesnaya", the girls of the duo Yulia Volkova and Lena Katina stood up to their words. They sent a fax to OOO "Neformat", informing us about their will to break the contracts. At the present time, Tatu girls spend a lot of time talking to their lawyers, who provide them with juridical support. According to Alexandra Tityanko, "Neformat's" media agent, Tatu's lawyers will need to do a lot of work to succeed in what they attempt to do. The conditions of the current contract are such that in case they leave, the girls cannot claim the title of "Tatu" (Neformat owns these rights) nor the profits from album sales. According to Tityanko, OOO "Neformat" has to respond to the notification made by Volkova and Katina within 60 days. Neformat's executive director, Sergey Bobza, is working on this response already.

Overall the situation seems quite complicated. Tatu girls do not talk to Shapovalov and absolutely refuse to show up in Podnebesnaya, their studio in the penthouse of Peking Hotel. Thus, the name of the STS show "Tatu in Podnebesnaya" has practically lost its meaning: the studio is usually occupied by Ivan Shapovalov, his partners and other artists, working with Neformat - Ivan Demyan, Katya Nechayeva and some new projects, etc. A collection of songs called "Podnebesnaya" is being made which will include songs of Tatu, 7B, Katya Nechayeva and other unknown groups who sent their songs for the second Tatu's album. Meanwhile, Elena Katina went to Singapore's MTV Asia Awards. What's interesting is that she was accompanied by Sergey Bobza, the executive director of Neformat, the company which Tatu girls seemingly want to leave. Yulia Volkova refused to fly to Singapore. Nevertheless, both girls keep in touch with Neformat, except for its general director Ivan Shapovalov. How long this situation of "neither peace, nor war" is going to last, no-one can say.

Meanwhile, the show "Tatu in Podnebesnaya", filmed by Vitaly Mansky, is set to continue. As Alexandra Tityanko said, "STS [is not disapointed by] what is going on around the group." In this conflict Mansky sees a reflection of real life, which is interesting to broadcast on TV. Apart from filming Shapovalov's team in Podnebesnaya, the crew is now filming practically every step of Yulia and Lena. They film them at home and on the street. Later, the director arranges the footage to reflect the positions of the two - barely - opposing sides.
