Faux lesbian duo t.A.T.u to perform at Sochi Olympics

That's a bit of a surprise:

Russian 'lesbian' duo t.A.T.u to perform at Sochi Olympics?

Russian pop duo t.A.T.u look set to perform at the Sochi Olympics’ opening ceremony tonight, despite kissing on-stage in the early 2000s.

Yulia Volkova and Lena Katina will reportedly reform their controversial act to sing their worldwide hit "Never Gonna Get Us" as part of a warm-up show that will not be broadcast internationally, then again as the Russian quad enters the Fisht Olympic Stadium.

As teenagers, t.A.T.u came third for Russia in the 2003 Eurovision Song Contest, but became famous after their lesbian antics at the MTV Movie Awards that year. After performing "Not Gonna Get Us" and "All The Things She Said" the girls stripped down to nothing but white underwear, thin tops and school ties before kissing each other.

Both band members are heterosexual, but today their same-sex kiss would break anti-gay propaganda laws passed in Russia in 2013, making them a suprising choice by organisers.

In Russian, the name t.A.T.u even implies lesbian sex, while the lyrics to "All The Things She Said" ("I'm losing my mind, I need her") suggest bisexuality.

It seems all is not well in the performers' camp, however, as Katina tweeted a now-deleted post earlier, which read: "They have invited us to perform at the opening ceremony of the Sochi Olympics, but they’re treating the artists like shit. The organization is horrible."

There has been no official confirmation that t.A.T.u will be performing, with Katina later tweeting: "All statements will be made at the right moment, as it turned out this was not yet the right moment."
