Marilyn Manson and his girlfriend, Isani Griffith were seen in Toronto heading back to their hotel after Marilyn performed at a concert on Friday (Sept 18th). I know that he is always wearing weird stuff. But, seriously…..what the heck is Marilyn wearing on his head/face?  It’s some sort of a weird, aqua hair/face net…. It can’t be there for comfort. It looks like it’s choking him!  But he probably enjoys that, huh?  Oh well, I guess I will never understand that guy.  Marilyn Manson will always be a mystery to me.

Someone needs to chill out a bit!  Marilyn Manson is mad at the press, and wants to make sure everyone knows it.  In response to an L.A. Weekly story suggesting “that Manson is a paranoid cocaine addict who is nothing like his onstage goth persona,” he has posted some dark threats on his MySpace blog.

From the post titled “soon to be buried in a shallow grave”:

I can, but do not need to defend myself And the absurd accusations that the average press has clinged onto. If we need a nude photo of me to prove that I am far different than the soon-to-be-murdered-in-their-home press has decided to fabricate, that is easy. But if one more “journalist” makes a cavalier statement about me and my band, I will personally or with my fans help, greet them at their home and discover just how much they believe in their freedom of speech. I dare you all to write one more thing that you won’t say to my face. Because I will make you say it. In that manner. That is a threat.

Uhhh…. well, OK.  But could he sound any MORE like a paranoid cocaine addict?  Oh crap, is Marilyn going to come after ME now?  And what does a nude photo have to do with anything?

Marilyn Manson and Lady Gaga are two of the most different artists out there. And really both of them rock at singing. Marilyn recently admitted to the Britain’s Observer that he has a crush on Lady Gaga.

“I was most impressed by her paparazzi photos. I thought that it looked the way that rock stars should look, as exciting as something that Warhol or Dali would do. And I don’t consider her to be similar to her contemporaries – the other girls that do pop music – simply because she knows exactly what she’s doing. She’s very smart, she’s not selling out, she’s a great musician, she’s a great singer, and she’s laughing when she’s doing it, the same way that I am.”

I could see the two of them being an awesome couple. And they would make beautiful music together too.

We haven’t seen Marilyn Manson for awhile! I almost forgot what he looked like. He looks different to me here.

He was at Hot Topic in Los Angeles for a signing of his new album, The High End Of The Low. This is his fifth album. It’s being officially released on Tuesday. popbytes has the video for his first song off the track.  I’m sure that everyone will be flocking to the nearest CD store (do they actually do that these days?) to get it.

Will you be getting it?

Strangely enough, the headlines are true.� Singer/Songwriter/Producer Ne-Yo doesn’t get a lot of rest, and fresh off the release of his latest (3rd) studio album Year of the Gentleman, he’s jumping right back into the studio on the arm of one of music’s most shocking artists.� Marilyn Manson is teaming up with the “Miss Independent” crooner for his own new album (after a disappointing turn on his own latest, lazily-selling album) after the R&B singer publically said how he’s been anxious to team up with the Godfather of goth.

�We�re about to go into the studio together. I�ve wanted to work with him for ages and his people reached out to me when they heard,� the Year of the Gentleman star revealed in a recent interview.

�I have no idea what the music will sound like or what direction we�ll take, but it will be really cool. We�re obviously two separate sides of the musical extreme but that�s what makes it exciting.�

Ne-Yo added: �People might think it�s a strange collaboration, I don�t. But don�t worry � you won�t see me adopting his style. I don�t think you�ll ever see me in make-up.�

Am I the only one that thinks a little makeup on Ne-Yo isn’t .. really… a bad thing?
