Superstar Couples

If you are a rock star, more or less, you can hook up with anybody. Fans see you on TV, hear your music and see you perform. Suddenly, you are a god, an Adonis.
And as the hoary dictum says, there are lots of fish in the ocean, even the youngest of them all is ready for the picking.

Marilyn Manson, 38, has come back with a new album, “Eat Me, Drink Me.” He recently had a heart-to-heart talk with Henry Rollins on his show concerning the shock rocker’s latest work. Henry was desperately longing to hear anti-American sentiments or provocations from the rocker’s lips but instead he began to talk about the lack of inspiration and the people who moved away from him, which became the inspiration for his album. Without speaking the name of his ex-wife, Dita von Teese, 36, a recent interview with Rolling Stone and Le Parisien confirmed the reason of their breakup: his depression and his new girlfriend, Evan Rachel Wood.
The young actress, whose fashion style very much resembles a lighter, blonder Dita’s, attended the grand opening of the rock star’s new Celebritarian Corporation Gallery of Fine Art last year. Two of her portraits done by Marilyn have been on display. She was even to co-star in his upcoming horror film “Phantasmagoria: The Visions of Lewis Carroll.”

“I’ve found my double, my twin, with my new girlfriend, Evan Rachel Wood. She’s 19 and certainly that’s very young, but that’s not a problem for me. She likes the same things as me. She understands I like to get up when night falls and go to sleep at dawn.”

He continued:

“Our (with Dita) relationship ended at Halloween. I was completely destroyed psychologically. I’d rented a house and begun working on this disc, which sort of tells everything that happened to me during the past year. I was married to someone who wanted me to change, become more adult, more responsible. I began not to like myself, not like what I do. I lost my identity. Everything began collapsing around me. The record allowed me to put an end to that. Dita left at Christmas while I was recording.”

In turn, Dita told the Daily Telegraph that there was “someone” and that she couldn’t keep up with Marilyn’s party lifestyle. At first she demanded the reporter not to ask anything about the divorce or the former husband. But Marilyn’s outings with the media encouraged her to speak up.

“I had all the faith in the world in our relationship for the seven years we were together. I loved him very much, and when I married him I completely believed it would be forever.’ (She pauses.) ‘But that’s not what happened.

Dita said her husband “lapsed into depression” and was tempted to commit suicide after she left him. And, yes, there was an “alleged infidelity.”

“It was difficult, because I was trying to get him help for his problems, and eventually I realised that he didn’t want help. I wasn’t supportive about his partying or his relationship with another girl, and as much as I loved him I wasn’t going to be part of that. Everything went downhill after we got married. I started working a lot to escape my home life.”

In his recent Rolling Stone interview, his new album “was clearly written to seduce somebody.”
Dita quickly added:

“He says how depressed he was. I get the impression he thinks I was unsupportive. But the truth is I wasn’t supportive of his lifestyle, and someone else came along who was. It didn’t work. Instead, it made me the enemy.’

And what happened was her decision to move out on Christmas Eve, empty-handed. The rest as they say is what we read on the gossip magazines.

“I left with nothing. I knew that there was an inappropriate relationship going on in it, and I didn’t want any part of it around to remind me. I didn’t want that sofa. I didn’t want that bed. I didn’t want the knife you read about in the article.’

While Marilyn is happy cajoling with new girlfriend, Dita doesn’t mind being set up by friends on several blind dates.

“I figure I have a better chance being introduced to somebody through a friend than I do meeting someone in a bar or on the internet. And I know that I loved him [Manson] enough to try and help.”

Rock stars like Marilyn don’t change just because. Oftentimes, the image they portray onstage is what they are or want to be be in real life. One can adore them but to marry them, hell, no.
At least, now Dita knows. Once a Marilyn Manson, always a Marilyn Manson. He’s not acting. It is for real.
