claims he was removed from the religious building because he was wearing
make-up.

He says, “Unfortunately they didn’t let me in, probably because I was wearing

A song from MARILYN MANSON’s latest album is an ode to MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE frontman GERARD WAY, in which the shock rocker accuses the singer of ripping off his sound.

Since Manson’s last album Lest We Forget, My Chemical Romance have leaped to international fame with their third album, The Black Parade.

Manson has watched the group’s rise and claims Way is desperate to emulate him.

In Mutilation Is The Most Sincere Form Of Flattery on Manson’s new disc Eat Me, Drink Me, he sings, “You steal instead of borrow/ You take all the shapes that I make… Mutilation’s the most sincere form of flattery/ If you want to be me/ Then stand in line like the rest… F**k you, f**k you.”

He explains, “I’m embarrassed to be me because these people are doing a really sad, pitiful, shallow version of what I’ve done.

“If they want to identify with me then here’s a razor blade. Call me when you’re done and we’ll talk.”

Manson and My Chemical Romance are set to share the stage at the Download Festival in Donington Park, England on Friday.

MARILYN MANSON made sure his girlfriend EVAN RACHEL WOOD became the highest paid actress in music video history for her sex scenes with him in new promo Heart-Shaped Glasses.

Manson, who split from his wife Dita Von Teese last December, reportedly as a result of his relationship with Wood, was determined the 19-year-old should be properly compensated for her raunchy appearance.

The first two minutes of the Heart-Shaped Glasses promo feature Manson and Wood writhing around naked, having passionate sex – with many believing the couple actually made love for the cameras.

Manson tells MTV News, “I did insist that Evan be paid the most that any actress has ever been paid in music-video history to be in this, even though she wouldn’t have asked for it. There’s no one else that could’ve been in it, because it was inspired by her.”

Manson: ‘I Wanted To Kill Myself After Von Teese Split’

andPOP Staff — Sat, 12 May 2007 16:49:01 +0000

Rocker MARILYN MANSON was so low during his recent marriage break-up with DITA VON TEESE – he came close to committing suicide.

Von Teese filed for divorce in December (06), citing Manson’s “inappropriate relationship” with another woman as her reason for the split. The musician has since confessed his love for teen actress Evan Rachel Wood.

And things became so bad for Manson that he wanted to kill himself, until he realized the difference between “wanting to die and not wanting to live.”

He tells MTV News, “I was clearly at the point where I was ready to give up, and it wasn’t that I didn’t have the motivation to … it was almost as if I couldn’t bring myself to make a conclusion.

“I can look back on it now like it was a different person, and I refuse to ever get to that place again. But it was mostly because I didn’t feel that I had someone who was going to walk with me through the horrible reality that we live in.

“Did I want to kill myself? Yes. Did I come close to doing that? More than I’d like to think. The only thing I can say about it is, I feel like maybe I wasn’t strong enough to make that choice.

“I guess I was just more lost than anything. I didn’t have anything to attach myself to. I didn’t have any emotions or fears – nothing to have hope for.

“There’s a big difference, I discovered, between wanting to die and not wanting to live. When you want to die, you at least have a goal. When you don’t want to live, you’re really just empty.”

MARILYN MANSON’s ex-girlfriend ROSE McGOWAN has signed on to play legendary B-movie actress SUSAN CABOT in a new biopic.

The film, BLACK OASIS, is based on a Premiere magazine article about THE WASP WOMAN star’s rise to fame and her bizarre death in 1986.

Cabot was killed when her dwarf son TIMOTHY bludgeoned her with a weightlifting bar. He was convicted of involuntary manslaughter.

Manson Experiencing Mid-Life Crisis?

andPOP Staff — Thu, 18 Jan 2007 23:05:33 +0000

Friends of MARILYN MANSON are worried by his rumoured relationship with 19-year-old actress EVAN RACHEL WOOD, and fear the rocker is on the verge of a mid-life crisis.

Manson’s estranged wife DITA VON TEESE filed for divorce last month, ending their marriage of just over a year, and now sources close to the 38-year-old ANTICHRIST SUPERSTAR hitmaker fear he’s spiralling out of control.

One pal tells American publication People, “It’s like he’s having a midlife crisis. He’s with a younger version of Dita.”

The friend points out that Wood, who was last seen in public with Manson at this birthday party on January 5, “Has her hair and makeup done like Dita.”

Wood’s publicist has vehemently denied her client had anything to do with the break-up of Manson’s marriage.

Divorce for Marilyn Manson

Adam Gonshor — Sat, 06 Jan 2007 18:18:10 +0000

Shock rocker Marilyn Manson and his wife of one year are getting divorced, according to divorce papers posted on TMZ.

Dita Von Teese, the burlesque dancer he married a year ago, filed the papers on Dec. 29. In them, she cited the ever-so-popular divorce reason of “irreconcilable differences” and wrote that the couple separated on Christmas Eve.

According to the New York Post, the real reason behind the split is that Von Teese, real name Heather Sweet, has not been able to even contact Manson, real name Brian Warner.

The couple wed in December of 2005 in front of about 60 guests.
