Evan Rachel Wood dumps Marilyn Manson


In a perfect example of how blood is thicker than, well, fake blood poured over you in a weird music video, Evan Rachel Wood has dumped shock-rocker boyfriend, Marilyn Manson, because he tried to kick her brother out of the guest house.

“Evan owned the house and didn’t want her unemployed sibling living on the street,” a source tells Star. “It was the tipping point. Evan was fed up with how controlling and emotionally abusive Marilyn was.”

The actress-singer, 21, started dating the 18- years-older goth rocker in December 2006, as his marriage to Dita Von Teese was collapsing.

What could Evan’s brother have done to make Marilyn Manson go all “dad” on him and try to kick his unemployed ass out of the guest house? Whatever it was, Wood’s real parents are probably going to be making it an extra special Christmas for Ira Wood this year. He finally broke the spell Manson has had on Evan for the last two years, that’s worth a few extra gifts this year. I want to give him a stocking full of candy, myself.

Evan Rachel Wood may have already been getting ready to run, though. Questionable affection with Mickey Rourke on the red carpet at the Venice Film Festival in September led some to speculate Wood was moving on to someone even more creepy looking than Manson. Wood co-starred with Rourke in the critically acclaimed upcoming release The Wrestler. Nothing more than a professional relationship seemed to have come of it, but time will tell now that she’s kicked Manson to the curb. Evan Rachel Wood really seems to have some daddy issues, though, future Rourke hook-up or not.

It will be interesting to watch Evan’s style over the coming months. She has an all-American girl look when she’s not trying to conform to the image Marilyn Manson wanted. She’s made valiant attempts at replicating Dita, and has looked stunning on occasion, but it never seemed natural. I think we’ll see a new, younger looking, more casual Evan Rachel Wood come out of this. As long as she can keep the spell broken.

    Well, good! Why can’t he just find somebody that’s already corrupted and leave the untainted ones alone.

    Evan is better than Heidi Montag, who kicked her sister out because Spencer told her too.

  3. Sue says:

    Brian is a jerk that just needs to go back to the hole he crawled out of…

  4. Lauri says:

    The question is…why was she with that idiot to begin with? I mean…there is just nothing whatsoever even mildly attractive about him on any level. I have to wonder about the intelligence of anyone that would hook up with him.

    @Boat: I don’t think it’s harder to be better than Heidi Montag… In fact, a cockroach (no pun intended) is better than Heidi Montag.

    You keep hearing MM is too “emotionally violent” and controlling… it’s so weird. I’d still give anything to meet him and date him! I love MM. His art, his music, his intelligence and his black humour. What’s not to love? And I looooove the way he is made up and carries himself. The man exudes this great artistic and intelligent self-confidence.

    Then again, Evan did go through this Dita look-alike, made over phase. I guess she was just tired of Marilyn “Pygmalion” Manson, as this is really what he seemed to do with her. Somehow, I don’t think she is really a freak at heart, like Dita or Rose McGowan are, which is what MM seems to need.

    I’m not really sure whose to blame here, if anybody at all. I just never thought they went well together. And I’m glad he’s single again. Yay!

    Well, Wood is ballsy, I’ll give her that. Meh to everything else. I don’t think she has now, nor will have much of a Hollywood career.

  7. aleach says:

    ya she should just try to be herself again. she changed a lot for MM.
    i wonder what MM is like in real life though…without the makeup and “shock” value…?

  8. ff says:

    Finally! Wonder which clone he’s going to turn to next – or rather who he’s going to turn into a clone next.

    LMFAO!!!!!!!

    she reminds me of frances bean in that pic

  11. Obvious says:

    I love her. And i’m happy that she’s out of this relationship. Now lets get back to the amazing indie queen she is. and stop focusing on this off-the-rocker relationship

  12. Lusi says:

    FINALLLLLYYYYYYY πŸ˜€

  13. RAN says:

    FINALLY!

    I liked this girl when she was a young kid on Once and Again, believe it or not. Sela Ward’s kid if I recall correctly – although I could be wrong. Anyway, I thought she’d grow up to be adorable….then she hooked up with that crap. Good riddance if you ask me.

    I doubt she’ll be able to be a Hollywood star, but she is certainly capable of brilliant things. Good luck to her.

  14. vdantev says:

    She’s better off.

  15. Aud says:

    If you and your boyfriend wear the same lipstick…he might be a freak

  16. Hollz says:

    you stole the words right outta my mouth Anna…. It must be fate that my relationship, and his blew up around the same time, LOVE HIM! 😈

  17. Jeanne says:

    Seriously how could any woman make love to a creepy Marilyn Manson. He’s like a tranny version of Cher.

  18. Christina X says:

    Ha!

    Let’s see how long it takes for Evan Rachel Wood’s hair to go back to blonde and all the black makeup to wash off.

    Because you know. She was an “indevidgewel!!!111!!!” for a total of two years.

    And Marilyn Manson bugs the hell out of me because he’s a yammering frigging hypocrite.

    Oooh, the beautiful people. Funny, I don’t see him taking anything home short of being a supermodel or exotic dancer. Yeah. You’re the least materialistic person ever, BRIAN WARNER.

    My ass.

    And don’t even get me started on how contradictory the nonconformity garbage is. Basically, Evan Rachel Wood was a pretty little Anglo teenie bopper up until she met Warner.

    I thought he hated conformists, since she apparently changed so much to impress him.

    Manson looks like the less talented little brother of Boy George. They should hook up.
