Bill Kaulitz as a dazzling diva in « Kaulitz & Kaulitz »: Tanga, Glitzerfummel and XXL buying frenzy

He has airplanes in his stomach and razor burn on the buttocks, then a water pipe break in the Hollywood Hills also makes his villa uninhabitable: for Bill Kaulitz it is quite thick in the second season of the Netflix documentary « Kaulitz & Kaulitz » (from June 17th)-the good mood cannot be taken.

Bill and his twin brother Tom accompany the new episodes on their everyday life in Los Angeles and at appearances with their band « Tokio Hotel ». As the first time, the eccentric Bill is the dazzling heart of reality series – the fully bearded Tom is more of the second violin, and his famous wife Heidi Klum only appears on the side.

The first season of the series caused vertebrae in 2024. The new episodes will not disappoint fans: Bill is again in the scene as an extravagant diva with a penchant for frivolous fun. During the spray tanning, he shows himself almost without a shell in the tanga, and with relish the camera captures its golden slippers with the suggestive tips on which his lap dog Alfia likes to gnaw.

David, the brothers’ new personal assistant, gets to know Bill’s demands on the first working day. In the fruit bowl of his noble villa, an adorns always have to throne in the middle, although nobody eats it. David is also asleep, just not getting the wrong frozen pizza or leaving the finger crops on the furniture surfaces: an absolute no-go.

What is staging, what is authentic?

Bill and Tom search for their new assistant, whose suitability is tested with a small prank, acts as staged for the camera. Overall, however, the two pop stars, who grew up in Magdeburg, give an unobstructed impression. At first it is intensely about Bill’s lovesickness after the failure of his latest relationship. He consoles himself with a shopping frenzy XXL – among other things, a whirlpool for up to $ 250,000 on the roof of his designer villa should be felled, and trees must be felled for a pool. The many jewels, bags and glitter fiddling that Bill’s credit card make it glow are the smallest problem.

The world’s alienity of the twins is literally celebrated in the amusing documentaryoap. Why shouldn’t two bags of milk cost $ 18? And in one of her short scenes, Heidi Klum doubts that her husband Tom can change a light bulb at all. For something like that, the two 35-year-old brothers, who became a teenager 20 years ago with their hit « through the Monsun » to megastars and fled from Germany in 2010 from the dark side of success, the huge media vertebrae and attacking fans. Since then, they have had a glamor life in Los Angeles, whereas their bandmates Gustav Schäfer and Georg Listing failed.

The Kaulitz twins could get more involved in working on new songs from « Tokio Hotel », Georg and Gustav find at a meeting. But the stars of the Netflix series have a lot to do, as the series shows, and this is especially true for Bill: in the photo shoot for a German LGBTQ magazine, during a appearance as a model at the Paris Fashion Week, when filming the ZDF series « Späti » with Ochsenknecht-Sohn Wilson Gonzalez and an independent horror film.

When he talks about his heartache or that he had to learn to speak openly about his queer love life, Bill also strikes more serious tones, but overall he remains the lively sunshine that makes reality series a likeable pleasure. « You are the circus horse », the fully bearded and apparently more grounded brother Tom has to recognize, who prefers to wear wool sweaters as a glitter fum. He hardly reveals anything from his private life with Heidi Klum, just so much: Heidi is very critical of his music. « If you don’t like a song, for example, she says nothing. » (ski)
