ONE NIGHT WITH ALLA BORISOVNA

(i.e. Alla Borisovna Pugacheva – Philipp's vife)

PHILIPP KIRKOROV RETURNED. AS HE PROMISED, HE RETURNED FOR ALWAYS
AND FOR EVER. AND THAT IS WHY HE ARRANGED A PARTY IN `CRYSTALL'
CASINO. THIS IS SYMBOLIC PLACE, BECAUSE THERE ALLA PUGACHEVA - HIS
VIFE SPENT HER YOUNG YEARS.

Release of joint single of Philipp and Greek Sakis Rouvas became a
formal occasion for the show-establishment party. Moscow Beau monde
did a lot of rumoring on the issue of the close relationship between
the two men. And they did not keep a secret of the mutual tenderness
they felt for each other. That is why they appeared in the Casino
together. While girls dressed in Greek togas showered them with
roses' petals and ladies in ethnic costumes gave then bread and salt
(according to national Russian tradition).

Pugacheva came earlier with Maxim Galkin and Yuriy Aizenshpice (the
first is a famous comic artist and the second – is a producer) Alla
was presented with a box of sweets, but despite of all the prima
Donna was in bad spirits.

She was at once surrounded with photographers. And this made her
furious: "What do you want?? Shall I publicly kiss Galkin? " …. Than
Alla began to smoke. She even didn't react to her favorite
song, "I'll die for You", sang by her loving husband, Philipp. She
didn't even smile while the drunken audience was shouting "Bravo".
People decided that she was jealous of Philip whose attention was
turned to this charming young Greek (Sakis Rouvas).

Than there is a description of performance of one Russian young
female singer Irsen Kudikova – protégé of Pugacheva. And also a
report about the arrival of other Russian stars to the party.
When Kirkorov announced that the best dancer from the audience shall
be presented with a home cinema – the correspondent of "Native
Newspaper" managed to ask Alla Pugacheva a couple of questions:

– Alla Borisovna!..

– What? OK, ask…

– How do You like the party? Do You think the presentation was good
enough? Was it you, who advised Philipp arrange it in such glamour?

–No, he is a mature boy, and now I don't usually advice him on
anything. He may decide for himself. And he may also give advice.
Even to me.

– Are You glad that Your husband returned on the stage after last
year's scandal?

–Of course I am!! This scandal very noticeably affected the rating…I
mean rating of journalists, not Philip's. He is still number one!

–May be Number Two? The first one – is always You!

–And what about me? This is not my presentation. Today is Kirkorov's
day. So, be delighted for him!

–Is it true, that You are jealous of Your husband because of this
beautiful Greek `nightingale'?

–Bool shit! They are a perfect couple. In the artistic view, of
course. Both are handsome and with good vocals. They are making
successful duo.

–Do You think their song "Like a mad man.." will be a smash hit?

–You should know what is going on in the sphere of pop-music. A lot
of very bad songs are popular. Most of them are platitudes and show
a lack of talent. But this project is very original and interesting.
Let them sing!

At that moment Kirkorov was awarded with `Peter I' award, and Rouvas-
with `Lomonosov' Award for international cooperation. Pugacheva and
Galkin whispered about something and laughed. There were many young
artists around their table. Each one wanted to be in the "Court
circle".

About 3 a.m. guests began to leave the party being fully drunk and
sleepy. Alla corrected her hair and also left with Galkin in limo.
Kirkorov left later… along with Rouvas.

(I didn't see it myself, but some other articles told that Sakis
left without Philipp…)
