Yulduz (Part II)
Yulduz embodies the deep hidden passionate temparament of the Uzbek. Not only is she a diva of international proportions, she's a deputy of the Uzbek parliament and they say that she also wrote the new Uzbek national anthem...but I have conflicting sources on that.
The pop diva also had a bit of a fabulous scandal in her personal life with a messy breakup. Here's this article from 2002 about her called "Yulduz Usmanova -- Shooting Star" (Yulduz means star in Uzbek).

It's in Russian, but in short, it's like something out of a gangster movie. And the information is clearly something put out by her ex-lover Farhod Tulyaganov. On January 15, 2002 at 9:30 in the evening, Farhod returned home with his friend Anvar and upon approaching his home he saw someone standing by his gate in the shadows, who invited him for a smoke. When he lit up, he saw a stranger with a pistol in hand.
Farhod managed to knock the weapon from the hands of the assailant who then ran into a car and drove off. A car chase ensued in which Farhod trailed the car to a dead end, cornered the attacker, who turned out to be none other than Bonu -- another famous Uzbek singer, a protigee of Yulduz. The police later discovered a Makarov pistol with eight cartridges in the car.
When later interrogated, Bonu allegedly confessed that Yulduz asked her to shoot Farhod and his family (he's married, of course, as is everyone in Uzbekistan), promising her that she would be awarded the title of National Singer of Uzbekistan if successful.
None of this information could be confirmed. The article is the typical kind of compromising materials people put out about their enemies in this country.
Yulduz shortly after the incident checked herself into a hospital...Someone I know went in to see her and said that she looked fantastic. The matter was later resolved quietly. First of all Yulduz has immunity as a parliamentary deputy. Farhod is from one of the most powerful families in Tashkent. Somehow, an agreement was worked out between the two parties.
By the way, the name of the song in the last post translates as jealousy. ¶ 12:23 AM

just FYI -- from Wikipedia "The National Anthem of the Republic of Uzbekistan came into being when Uzbekistan was a republic of the Soviet Union. Upon independence in 1991, lacking any prior history as a nation or prior national anthem, the old anthem as a Soviet republic, composed by Mutal Burhanov, was retained, but new lyrics by Abdulla Aripov were written."
