[edit] Biography
Marilyn Manson was born in Canton, Ohio. He attended Heritage Christian School, but was soon turned off from Christianity, which he viewed as hypocritical and more concerned with instilling fear than virtue. He has stated that the Christian vision of the Apocalypse in particular had a lasting effect upon his outlook. After transferring to and later graduating from Canton's GlenOak High School, Warner and his family moved to Fort Lauderdale, Florida. While living in Fort Lauderdale, he studied journalism and theater at Broward Community College [3], and became the assistant entertainment editor of BCC's student newspaper, the Observer.


[edit] Romance
Manson has been linked to or involved with Melissa "Missi" Romero, Traci Lords and Jenna Jameson. Jameson wrote about her sexual encounter with Manson in her autobiography, How to Make Love Like a Porn Star: A Cautionary Tale in which she noted him as being "enormously endowed". Manson was engaged to Rose McGowan, but their relationship ended around the time he became involved with burlesque dancer and fetish model Dita Von Teese. Manson photographed Von Teese for the December 2002 issue of Playboy.


[edit] Marriage
Marilyn Manson and Dita Von Teese started dating on Manson's 32nd birthday, and Manson proposed three years later on 22 March 2004. On 3 December 2005, the couple were married in a non-denominational ceremony at Gurteen Castle in Kilsheelan, County Tipperary, Ireland,[1] the home of Gottfried Helnwein. The wedding was officiated by surrealist film director and comic book writer Alejandro Jodorowsky. Dita Von Teese wore a royal purple silk taffeta gown by Vivienne Westwood, complete with train and petticoats worn over a Mr. Pearl couture corset, topped off by a tricorne hat by Stephen Jones, while Manson wore a John Galliano black silk taffeta tuxedo with velvet trim and a hat also crafted by Stephen Jones. They reportedly exchanged vows in front of approximately 60 guests, including burlesque dancer Catherine Delish, Lisa Marie Presley, Eric Szmanda, David Lynch, Jessicka and Christian Hejnal. Vogue magazine ran a multiple-page feature on the wedding in its February 2006 issue. Just before his own wedding, Manson criticized Britney Spears's wedding to Kevin Federline, in which they celebrated by wearing personalized tracksuits: "If you're going to do something like getting married, it should have a sense of celebration to it. It should be grand and not in tracksuits!" [2]


[edit] Career

[edit] In music

Manson convinced long time friend Jessicka (Jack Off Jill, Scarling.) to start a riot grrl-esque band, which he later dubbed Jack Off Jill. He not only produced most of the band's early recordings but also played guitar on the song My Cat. Jack Off Jill went to open most of his South Florida shows.

Manson has helped or provided full scores for several major motion pictures, although several of his pieces have been cut, and his name dropped from the credits. Some of his more notable soundtrack score contributions include From Hell, The Matrix and Resident Evil.

Manson appeared as a guest on rapper DMX's album Flesh of My Flesh, Blood of My Blood for the track "The Omen", produced by Swizz Beats, and has performed (with the rest of the band) on stage with Eminem as background music in the song "The Way I Am".

Manson sang vocals on "Break You Down" off of the Washington, DC-based industrial rock band Godhead's 2000 Years of Human Error album. This album is distinguished for being the only one released on Manson's vanity label Posthuman.


[edit] In film and television

Marilyn Manson's cameo in the Murderdolls video "Dead in Hollywood"Manson made a cameo appearance as a doctor in the Murderdolls' music video "Dead in Hollywood", and also appears in the Nine Inch Nails music video "Starfuckers, Inc."

His first appearance in a film was in the role of a pornographic actor in David Lynch's Lost Highway, in 1997. He also had a minor role in former love interest Rose McGowan's 1998 film Jawbreaker and a supporting role in 2003's Party Monster. Manson made a cameo appearance in a short film in the BMW Films series (starring Clive Owen as the Driver), which featured James Brown as himself, and Gary Oldman as Satan. His most talked-about film cameo was in the Michael Moore political documentary Bowling for Columbine discussing the motivations of the perpetrators and allegations that his music was somehow a factor. He played himself, in animated form, on an episode of the television series Clone High, in which he sang a song about nutrition and the food pyramid. Manson portrayed a psychotic drag queen named Christina in the movie Party Monster Which is based on the events leading up to and the murder of Angel Melendez by the infamous Micheal Alig of club kid fame. He is featured prominently throughout Not Another Teen Movie, and covered the song Tainted Love for that movie.

Manson was featured in the 2004 film The Heart Is Deceitful Above All Things, and is set to appear in Abelcain, directed by Alejandro Jodorowsky, and Living Neon Dreams in 2005. He will also be seen as a bartender in an upcoming vampire movie starring Lucy Liu called Rise.

In July 2005, Manson told Rolling Stone Magazine that he was shifting his focus from music to filmmaking - "I just don't think the world is worth putting music into right now. I no longer want to make art that other people--particularly record companies--are turning into a product. I just want to make art." He is currently working on his directorial debut, Phantasmagoria: The Visions of Lewis Carroll, which is scheduled to appear on his website by the end of 2006. The film is said to feature special effects using a magician rather than computer-generated imagery.[3]


[edit] In art
Manson is also a watercolor painter. An exhibit for his art was held at Los Angeles Contemporary Exhibitions on September 13, September 14, 2002 and also at the Hotel Lutecia, Paris on September 14, 2004 and the next day in Berlin. He contributed a piece to the West Memphis Three benefit exhibition at six spaces. Many of his paintings have sold for over $5,000; buyers include Jack Osbourne, Nicolas Cage, Dave Navarro, Andy Dick and Lisa Marie Presley. He has stated that a new book containing all his pieces of art work will be released in the near future, possibly 2006.[citation needed]

Manson opened his own gallery October 31, 2006 in Los Angeles. The gallery, The Celebritarian Corp. Gallery of Fine Art, opened with a showing of Manson's watercolors. [4]


[edit] In other areas
Manson provided the voice of the alien Edgar in the 2005 first-person shooter video game Area 51, which also featured David Duchovny and Jeordie White. Marilyn Manson also appears (as himself) as a playable character in the video game Celebrity Deathmatch. Allegedly, the artist posed nude for photos prior to his rise to fame.[citation needed] The pictures appeared in the March 1999 issue of Honcho.


[edit] Fallout with Trent Reznor
One of his high-profile relationships, the defunct friendship with Trent Reznor, has been marked with mutual bitterness and perhaps vendetta. This started in the mid-'90's when Manson was due to make a track that would appear on the soundtrack to David Lynch's Lost Highway but had been recorded instead by Reznor. In an interview, Manson implicated Reznor as being responsible for the disappearance of the master recordings of Manson's first three albums.[5]


[edit] Twiggy Ramirez's departure
In May 2002 Twiggy Ramirez (real name Jeordie White) left the band, citing differences in perspective on the future of the band. He went on to play bass for A Perfect Circle and Nine Inch Nails. Manson has claimed in interviews that he and Twiggy are still close friends although Jeordie maintains that he rarely speaks to Manson. In an interview in February of 2006 Twiggy stated he was willing to record an album with Manson if the right conditions were met.


[edit] Fallout with John 5
John 5's reasons for leaving Marilyn Manson are cited as being mutual, depite the mysterious nature of his sudden firing by Manson in 2004.[6][7] At the time, some fans speculated that John's puritanical lifestyle (puritanical, that is, relative to the band's supposed reputation, with his strict refusal of drugs and alcohol[8] being notable) was ultimately what resulted in his elimination, though this has never been proven. John continues to hold a deep respect for Manson, citing his skilled production style and his love for the band's music. John was already a fan of the band before joining in 1998. [9]





[edit] Lawsuits
In a civil battery suit, David Diaz, a security officer from a concert in Minneapolis, Minnesota on October 27, 2000, sued for $75,000 in a Minneapolis federal court.[10][11] The federal court jury found in Manson's favor.[12]
In a civil suit presented by Oakland County, MI, Manson was charged with sexual misconduct against another security officer, Joshua Keasler, during a concert in Detroit, Michigan on July 30, 2001. Oakland County originally filed assault & battery and criminal sexual misconduct charges,[13] but the judge reduced the latter charge to misdemeanor disorderly conduct.[14] Manson pleaded no contest to the reduced charges, paid a $4,000 fine,[15] and later settled the lawsuit under undisclosed terms.[16]
