Manson and a future girlfriend?Â
The blogosphere was abuzz with word that shock-rocker Marilyn Manson’s new video for his single “Heart-Shaped Glasses” actually features he and new girlfriend, 19-year-old Evan Rachel Wood having sex. And by “having sex,” I mean they were not simulating it like Tom Cruise does, but were really “going at it” on film. Which, if you think about it isn’t that shocking coming from Manson, but still quite nauseating.
From the Radar scoopage:
According to a source close to the production crew, Manson and Wood elected not to fake their intercourse. Though their naughty bits are concealed on-screen by bedclothes and each other’s bodies, the logistics of the shoot ensured the crew members had an intimate view of the proceedings: The video was originally intended to be shot in 3-D, meaning the couple’s writhings had to be shot from several different angles simultaneously. And just to be sure they got it right, Manson and Wood got it on three times for the cameras.
And a rep for Manson insists, “It was simulated sex.” But our source had no doubts either about what took place, or about why Manson, who cultivates an air of calculated outrageousness, would be anxious to deny it: “The Christian parents will be sharpening their steak knives for him.
Oh, like it matters whether it was simulated or real to Christian conservatives, once a hater, always a hater. Honestly, the conservatives in this country need not worry about Marilyn Manson influencing the youth of today. He’s too old for the young kids to look up to. Marilyn Manson practically eligible for AARP and early bird specials, add that his latest stunt and he is bordering on becoming a parody of himself. The young kids aren’t interested and old people think he’s retarded.
Here’s the thing: Manson’s the same age as I am. I remember in ‘95 when his stuff was popular and I was in love with Trent Reznor and dreamt of us (Trent, not Manson) running off together to live in his castle in Transylvania, but that lasted like two months and then you know, you kind of move on. Most people his age have kids, spouses, mortgages, lawns to care for. His target audience is slowly disappearing as androgynous dudes like Pete Wentz take over the teen angst angle and the twenty-somethings get on with their lives. They’re just waiting for their piercings to grow in and their natural hair color to return.
So what does Marilyn Manson’s ex-wife Dita Von Teese think of Manson’s new video featuring his teenage homewrecking girlfriend? Not much apparently.
“I know a lot of people are shocked by it and think I should be shocked but he has put every one of his girlfriends in his videos… I was in three videos. Rose McGowan was in two videos.”
It’s not so much that it’s shocking that he featured his girlfriend in a video, as much as he featured the homewrecking slut who broke up his marriage. Shocking is one thing, complete and utter lack of respect for a person he once claimed to have loved is another.Â
*Burp* He’s pathetic.  I still like that song though, it’s funny.
