I really don’t know much about Evan Rachel Wood apart from the fact that she was supposedly dating Ed Norton this spring, but the 19 year-old actress is said to be dating recently separated 38 year-old shock rocker Marilyn Manson. Ed Norton is 36, so she must go for older weird guys:

Rocker Marilyn Manson is romantically involved with 19-year-old actress Evan Rachel Wood, sources close to the situation tell PEOPLE.

The sources say his relationship with the Thirteen actress was a factor in the Dec. 29 divorce filing by Von Teese, 34, Manson’s wife of one year.

“Dita is heartbroken, she didn’t see this coming,” says a source close to the burlesque dancer and MAC cosmetics model. “His partying contributed to the split as well.”

Manson, 38, and Wood have been friends for some time. According to his official website, Manson first met Wood when he asked her to be in his upcoming horror film, Phantasmagoria: The Visions of Lewis Carroll.

If Manson was cheating with a 19 year-old that’s cold. Still, I have such inexplicable contempt for Dita that I suspect that this just isn’t true and that someone in her camp leaked the story to make Manson look bad. It seems like all the news that’s come out about their divorce has been strictly in her favor. Maybe she is the one getting shafted in this relationship, but since she’s the person that filed the papers yet all the gossip rags paint Manson as the guilty party it seems that there’s something quite calculated about the way she’s handling it.

There may be something to this story, though. Manson opened a Hollywood art gallery on Halloween of last year. Among the art by Manson displayed was a huge watercolor of a close-up portrait of Evan Rachel Wood. Wood and Manson met when he asked her to be in his planned horror film Phantasmagoria: The Visions of Lewis Carroll.

That’s not really an accurate title, but there’s a story in the ever-trustworthy British press that snotty Dita was fed up with Manson’s constant partying, and that she was especially annoyed when Lindsay Lohan called the house to see if he could come out to play. I’m not sure I believe this, considering that if Lohan and Manson were ever together the paparazzi would have been all over that:

Now it has been revealed that Dita, who moved out of the couple’s house before Christmas, decided to walk away from the marriage after growing tired of Manson’s late night parties and refusal to settle down and start a family.

A source close to Dita told The Sun newspaper: “She just had enough of his wild partying. Lindsay Lohan was ringing up the house wanting to come round and party with him. The phone would go all through the night, with people constantly turning up to hang out. Dita wants a quieter life and to have a baby. She told Manson to sort himself out or she was leaving. Unfortunately, nothing changed and he didn’t clean up his act.”

It has also been alleged that Manson - real name Brian Warner - had become paranoid from drug use during the pair’s marriage. The source added: “He became paranoid as a result of the drugs he was taking. At one stage he thought the cleaner was trying to kill him.”

Meanwhile Page Six reports that Manson and Dita are squabbling over custody of their pets. They have two cats and two daschund dogs together. Dita is said to have left their mansion with the animals, and Manson wants their cats back.

I doubt that Manson and Lohan are more than just acquaintances, if that, but it does seem like Manson had some drug and alcohol abuse problems that led to the breakup of his marriage. Either that or Dita is making sure her side of the story dominates the gossip press, which wouldn’t surprise me.

Haughty Dita Von Teese has enough fame on her own now and can get rid of the reason people paid attention to her these past few years. (Go ahead and tell me she’s great and all, I’ll take all your comments to heart and you’re sure to change my mind.) Page Six reports that Dita’s husband of one year, shock rocker Marilyn Manson, has been boozing and staying away from her and they haven’t communicated in some time. Dita is about to serve divorce papers to Manson while he’s recording and they claim she couldn’t get in touch with Manson to even warn him about it.

Page Six has learned that the pasty-faced Manson, whose real name is Brian Warner, will be served with divorce papers today at a Los Angeles recording studio where he’s working on his next album, with Von Teese citing “irreconcilable differences” in giving him the boot.

Sources say the raven-haired bombshell filed for the split right before Christmas, but Manson has been unaware of it because she couldn’t get in touch with him.

“He’s not been responsive,” a friend said. “She loved him so much, but he has too many demons. He can’t even communicate with her at this point. She tried to tell him she was divorcing him, but she can’t even get him on the phone. She moved out of the house and he hasn’t even noticed.”

Friends say Manson had been boozing heavily last year, much to Von Teese’s dismay, but she’d desperately tried to hold on. “She really tried to make this work,” the friend said.

Why does this not surprise me? Maybe he’s just sick of her and is drinking to forget about his mistake. Back in June I said that Dita and Marilyn weren’t going to last after reading her comments about how much better she was than other hardworking strippers.

Dita and Marilyn dated for seven years before getting married in December 2005. They have some cats and dogs but no children.

Chris Rock just filed for divorce from his wife of ten years, Malaak Compton-Rock. The couple has two daughters, Lola, 4, and Zahra, 2. Malaak is the founder of Styleworks, a non-profit group which provides salon services and business clothing for women moving from welfare back into the work force.

This wasn’t surprising to me, because I saw Chris Rock tell Marilyn Manson not to get married two years ago when they both appeared together on The Graham Norton Effect on Comedy Central.

Chris comes in at 3:30 in the video clip below. When host Graham Norton says “You have a theory about pussy,” Rock says “Well I’m married, and married men… well Marilyn’s getting married, and this happens a lot, and don’t do it man. I don’t care. I saw her out there. She looks good. She can’t wait to not fuck you. She can’t wait! I know you think you’re going to have a real ‘it’ Marilyn Manson marriage. hahaha”

Later on in the clip Norton shows erotic cookies that are kind of realistic and might not be SFW. It is pretty damn funny though. I used to love this show:

I know Rock was just joking around, but he seemed rather serious about it, and why would he say that unless he wasn’t getting any at home?

This isn’t the first time Rock has joked around about the perils of marriage. His comedy skits are rather revealing:

Chris Rock: When it’s time to get a divorce, women got it made. You go to court, start talkin’ that sh?t. “I’m used to this, I’m used to that. I’m accustomed to this.” What the fuck is accustomed? Whats that got to do with shit? You go to a restaurant, you accustomed to eatin’. You leave, you ain’t eatin’ no more. They don’t owe you a steak. What about what the man’s used to? It might not be money, but during the course of a relationship, a man grows accustomed to a few things. I would love to see a man go to court and say, “Your honor, check this out. I’m accustomed to fuckin’ her four times a week. Now I feel I should be able to fuck her at least twice a week. I mean she can have the alimony, but I want some pussy payments.”

Chris Rock: Everybody need a pre-nup. People think you gotta be rich to get a pre-nup. You got twenty million and your wife wants ten, big deal, you ain’t starvin’! But if you got thirty thousand, and your wife wants fifteen, you might have to kill her!

Chris Rock: So you gotta think about OJ’s situation. 25,000 a month, another man drivin’ his car, fuckin’ his wife, and a house he’s still payin’ a mortgage on. Now, I’m not sayin’ he should have killed her, but I understand.

If Dita Von Teese hadn’t married Marilyn Manson her career would never have taken off. I’d never heard of her before she married Manson.

She’s a stripper with fancy accessories. You can call it burlesque or any name you like, but she’s taking off her clothes to music. There’s nothing wrong with that, but she seems all snotty and self-satisfied as if she’s acting in art films rather than giving people a glimpse of her goods.

Dita stripped for Hugh Heffner’s 80th birthday party in Paris on 5/29. TMZ has a lousy video of her stripping that isn’t worth the wait. Listen to the crap she says about other strippers:

So, you’re saying that you gyrate better Dita? I mean, you’re good at your job and all but you’re a stripper. Get over yourself. If you weren’t Mrs. Marilyn Manson you wouldn’t be famous.

Dita and Marilyn aren’t going to last. She’s too full of herself.

Here’s a link to a high quality YouTube NSFW video of Dita stripping in New Orleans. (I would have included it here, but embedding is disabled for this video.)

Dita Von Teese, the burlesque stripper wife of Marilyn Manson, is getting too big for her glam britches. She somehow thinks that showing up for stuff and taking off her clothes qualifies her to deem most starlets “forgettable”:

Who remembers Cher at all? I don’t. And Madonna is only memorable for pulling tired ass stunts this week.

Dita, you look like you’re the product of a team of retro stylists, so what are you talking about? You’re balanced precariously half a step up from an average stripper. Cultivating a 40s image and being Mrs. Marilyn Manson doesn’t give you enough credit to bash women who star in actual films.

Here’s a shaky NSFW video of a Dita strip show:

And here she is shopping in NY [via] and at Cannes. Now that I’ve read this quote from her, I realize that the serene look she always sports is just her being smug.
