Now here’s a rather unexpected coupling for you. The last we heard from Avril Lavigne, she had split from Brody Jenner in January after two years of blissful mutual douchiness. As for Marilyn Manson, he’s recently been sighted with douchebag Johnny Depp at his son’s $50,000 birthday party and being not-engaged to a random groupie after a 5 week non-courtship. In actuality, Marilyn has been (mostly) single since he and Evan Rachel Wood broke off their ill-fated engagement in late 2010. So now Avril and Marilyn are both single, and a story in this week’s Star is all about their newfound “Strange Love.” Kinda gross, right?
Oh my Goth! Avril Lavigne, 27, and Marilyn Manson, 43, platonic friends for years, are suddenly romantic now that they’re both single. “Avril has been in Paris and Marilyn is on a European tour, so whenever he has a break, he files back to Paris to be with her,” says a source. “They’ve been hooking up and then Skyping when they aren’t together. It’s not really serious yet, but they’ve definitely got a little love connection going on.”
[From Star, print edition, July 9, 2012]
Let’s not even start in with the age difference here because it really doesn’t matter as far as these two wannabe freaks are concerned. Avril has always wanted to project a “hardcore” image, so maybe this will help her whenever her next record comes out. Probably not. I don’t even want to imagine what goes on during a Skype conversation with Marilyn Manson — does he perform puppet shows with his shrunken head collection? Anyway, happy coupling!
Here’s Marilyn with Eli Roth at last November’s premiere of The Thing. They would make a cuter couple than Marilyn and Avril do.

Still would like to understand… The attraction of Marilyn Manson.
How does he keep getting these beautiful women (Rose McGowan, when she was un-botoxed and beautiful, Evan Rachel Wood, married Dita Von Teese…), just how???
Watched him in interviews, read a bit about his thoughts and views on the world… He still gives me the feeling of that uncomfortable-in-his-skin guy, who is trying very hard to be… something, or someone.
Like Tom Cruise and how someone had described his sociopath-like behavior: An empty envelope, processing coldly a situation, and delivering the emotional response that is expected of a normal human being. That is Exactly how I perceive Marilyn Manson!

OMG I was wondering the same thing! What is this power he seems to have over beautiful women? A huge Schlong?

its more like the attraction people get to vampires and other beings like that… theres always an underlying love and attraction thats never understood but its always there and is always strong, theyre so handsome and at the same time not, their souls are pure and innocent and at the same time cursed and scared. its just something that happens, plus like you mentioned about tom cruise. yes it’d be the same thing, the depth of his soul his feelings that makes people think of him the way they do expect people know what to make of Brian, he says and shows it out right, theres no hiding behind a fake skin, a pretty face , he shows his real self and people always fear the truth. and the only reason people hate or are discomforted towards him is because of this and because they dont know how to take him. an innocent man is always condemned in the harshest of ways …

MM is a brilliant artist and is a genius. He’s no sociopath. He just knows how to play an audience. It’s ok if you don’t like his music, but if you listen to his lyrics, they are extremely deep and smart!!

She apparently was a rebellious teen from a small town and blew off her parents when the money came rolling in. Looking at her freeze-frame, not happening so much now career, maybe she’s a bit too stuck in her rebel-rebel stage. Need to find a grown-up identity, honey. Not hating, just saying.

Rebellious? I remember she wanted to be a country singer before the record company changed her look.

I am not a fan of Marilyn Manson’s music, but if you knew anything about him at all, you would realize he would have to dumb himself down to be with her.
Report this comment as spam or abuse
Definitely. I can’t stand the guy’s music or image, but he’s often a talking head in documentaries and is usually the most articulate, rational commenter out of the bunch, no matter what the topic. I’ve been really surprised by how intelligent and level-headed he seems. That’s the reason he’s so attractive to some women.
Avril, not so much.

I agree with both of you – he’s a really smart guy but I can kind of see why he likes her. They complement each other but I doubt he could deal with her personality for more than a few months.

Makes perfect sense to me – a couple of try-hards who can give each other positive reinforcement.

Actually, they’re the perfect couple and both their careers are stagnant, so maybe this helps. They’re both pretentious, entitled, untalented wannabes who are convinced that the world doesn’t get them because they are just that cool. Avril is close to 30, but convinced she’s some cool teen skater girl and Manson is pushing 40 or already there and more, and trying to clutch his fake goth-ness as hard as he can. The only way this would be funnier is if Johnny Depp joins them.

Looks like someone made a secret trip to the surgery. WTH happened to MM’s REAL nose?!
MM and Lavigne are almost equally revolting. Although, at least Avril’s not a homewrecker like Evan Rachel Wood. I will LMAO if she starts wearing pompadours, red lipstick and vintage clothing like the Divine Dita.

I’m not attracted to MM and it’s not my style, but he’s not a “gross douchebag.” He is talented in his genre and actually intelligent. So why the hate and judgement? Because his style is different? Get over yourselves.
Report this comment as spam or abuse
I agree. I’m a huge fan of his music, although I would never call it goth music ( to me goth music means Bauhaus, joy division, sisters of mercy,etc). He does a lot of stuff for controversy and has a certain image. But during his Interviews and documentaries, he comes off as a smart, rationale guy. He is big in his genre, and his music is very good, he’s definitely gotten better over the years after tainted love. Too bad people are very judgmental about him over his images and supposed rumours.
Although I will say this, he treated dita von teese pretty badly at the end of their marriage especially when it came to Evan.
Report this comment as spam or abuse
Yeah too much hate for the guy here. Somebody here said that he’s actually a pretty articulate and smart guy.
I’ve heard him in interviews and it’s true. He sounds very present, easygoing, and articulate. People are just afraid of things that are different or that they don’t understand, so they react to it in all kinds of ways.

No, he’s a gross douchebag. Go waaaaaay back, I remember an interview with him and his guitarist and they were eating each others boogers. Ugh, so wrong, so pretentious. The shock factor was always so try hard. Call him smart all day, he’s just another Hollywood addict playing the game.
I’ll never get over him dumping DVT fo ERW. I mean, Dita was always too good for him anyway, good for her getting out when she did. BUT Evan?? WTF is that? Major eye roll when I hear how beautiful she is. Uh, no she’s not. She looks like a boy. Overrated actress, highly overrated looks. When she pulled the Dita doppelgänger, I literally LOL’d!

Well it’s as far from “cute” as a thing can get, IMO, but other than that it’s kind of a non-issue. Two people who both want to still be goth and edgy and constantly look like they think they’re still young and relevant. Meh.
I have nothing against Avril, anyway.

I don’t get how Manson can continue to date such airheads. The guy is really intelligent and witty. I’m sure he’s being paid to do it these days. The Lana del Ray thing was especially ridiculous. She just needed a harder image. I imagine Avril is trying to get some punk cred or something.

Honestly, I don’t give a crap how smart or articulate the guy is. I’ve heard him in interviews and I already know he’s intelligent, still doesn’t change my feelings towards him, his behavior or his music. Sorry.
