Marilyn Manson – remember him? Well, yes, how could we forget. Dita von Teese's former husband and just about the one person you would not like to come face to face with at night in a dark alley seems to have added foul play to the already long list of things he's been blamed for. The singer is apparently quite keen on being surrounded by special ladies, but seems to have a hard time keeping them by his side for too long. And if his looks and charms alone won't do it, then he is not
afraid to take a more direct action. That is, to bribe them.
Manson has been accused of using his band's earnings to pay his lover the "highest salary ever" for an actress appearing in a music video. Former Marilyn Manson and the Spooky Kids keyboardist, Stephen Bier, claims Manson gave his lover Evan Rachel Wood (the woman for whom he ditched Dita von Teese) the "highest salary ever paid to any actress in any music video in history" for starring in his "Heart Shaped Glasses" music promo. Bier's lawyer Keith Fink filed the complaint at Los Angeles' Superior Court yesterday.
In addition, Manson, whose real name is Brian Warner, is said to have paid tour crew massive amounts to transport his unique "Alice in Wonderland" books, because he is so obsessed with author Lewis Carroll. The 38-year-old rocker will star as Carroll in his own film version of the children's novels, "Phantasmagoria: The Visions of Lewis Carroll", which he is also writing and directing. I don't even want to begin to imagine how that movie will end up looking, though I am pretty sure it won't be suitable for any children, of any age, like...never.
It's not the first time that Manson's band mates accuse the singer of spending the band's earnings on "sick and disturbing purchases". Among the items were African masks made of human skin, a skeleton of a disabled man in a wheelchair, and the skeleton of a four-year-old Chinese girl which he turned into a chandelier - all of which are illegal in America. So, what are they waiting for? Throw him in jail, and I'm pretty sure there will be no skeletons to buy there – although, who knows...
