Former O.C. star Mischa Barton is coming out on the big screen in Roland Joffe’s Russian coming-of-age drama Finding t.A.T.u., reports Variety.
The movie, adapted from the novel t.A.T.u. Come Back by Russian author A. Mitrofanov, follows the story of a lonely American teenager in Moscow who becomes friends with a local girl over their obsession with the gay-for-pay pop band t.A.T.u.
In 2000 t.A.T.u. caused international controversy with their music video single “I’ve Lost My Mind.” The video, which aired on MTV Russia, depicted the band’s two female singers dressed as Catholic school girls singing the song and kissing sensually.
With the release of the documentary Anatomiya t.A.T.u. in 2003, it became apparent that the girls’ sexuality was a publicity stunt.
The cast also includes Shantel VanSanten, Anton Yelchin, Alex Kaluzhsky, and Helena Mattsson. (The Advocate)

Australian pop star Kylie Minogue will become the first woman to receive Britain’s Music Industry Trusts’ Award at a ceremony in London on Oct. 29.
The awards committee called Minogue, a breast cancer survivor whose career in music has spanned 20 years, “one of the great entertainers of all time” and “an icon of pop and style,” the BBC reported Monday.
Minogue, 38, said she was “truly thrilled” about receiving the annual award, which is in 16th year and recognizes a wide range of figures connected to the music industry, including retailers and company executives.
Previous recipients of the award include Sir Elton John and Peter Gabriel.
“As well as being a fantastic evening, this award ceremony also raises much needed funds for The Brit Trust and Nordoff-Robbins Music Therapy, and it is a pleasure for me to be involved,” said Minogue.
Canadian singer Nelly Furtado plans to put together an “alternative” rock band with music producer Timbaland.
The 28-year-old singer - who collaborated with Timbaland and Justin Timberlake for hit single Give It To Me, as well as a series of tracks on her last album Loose - has revealed plans for a new project.
She says, “I don’t think it’d be, like, a real rock band. It’s be more like our version of alternative, so it wouldn’t necessarily be like heavy and guitar-driven. It would be left of field, but not necessarily pop.”
Britney Spears’aunt, Chandra McGovern, is speaking out about the pop star’s bald head and brewing family drama.
In an interview, McGovern says of Britney’s recent troubles: “The family felt very disappointed in the way she was acting.” We don’t blame them! Divorce, rehab, shaving her head…it’s been an all together wacky year for Spears, 25.
And speaking of that shaved head, Brit’s aunt explains: “[It] was a rebellion against everybody. She was saying I’m not the pop princess you think I am, now leave me alone.”
Harsh words to deliver via haircut.
Aunt Chandra predicts the Spears family will resolve their issues shortly. Despite rumors that Britney is angry with her mom, Lynne, McGovern says: “If there is a family feud it won’t last long. She and her mom are close.¡±
Looks like Brit’s “comeback” applies to more than just her music career!
