Marilyn Manson

"Sweet Dreams" are made of Britney ... or maybe nightmares?

For her Circus tour in 2009, the star made a provocative music video for Marilyn Manson's cover of the Eurythmics hit, but it was never released, until now.

Mouthing words to one of Manson's signature songs while parading around in what looks like an S&M-style orgy of sorts, this is Spears as you've never seen her.

This is dark stuff ... possibly NSFW. But if you're into this sort of thing - a scantily-clad Britney grinding on people and objects - you'll likely enjoy it.

Britney Spears - Sweet Dreams (Interlude)

Bet you didn't see this celebrity couple coming. Or maybe you did, who knows. It's Marilyn Manson. How surprised can you really be by this guy anymore?

We wouldn't have picked America's Next Top Model winner CariDee English as his newest girlfriend, but hey. Whatever makes a goth shock rocker happy.

"They met when Marilyn helped CariDee on her album," a friend of Marilyn's says. "They've been seeing each other since. She loves how different he is."

Marilyn was last linked (and engaged) to actress Evan Rachel Wood, with whom he had an on-and-off relationship. They broke up for good this past August.

CariDee English, who has gone from blonde to dark hair, as Marilyn Manson playthings tend to do, has even covered his song "Coma White." Sounds awesome.

"Marilyn Manson inspires and supports me in my music," CariDee says. "He makes me feel comfortable and beautiful with who I am as an artist and a woman."

Marilyn Manson and actress Evan Rachel Wood, who got back together fairly recently, ended their engagement last week, a source confirmed this morning.

A newly single Manson wasted no time getting back in the swing of things, hitting the town over the weekend, dining at L.A's STK and clubbing at Boudoir.

According to reports, the 41-year-old shock rocker was with a group including a brunette named Twiggy and former Playmate of the Year Colleen Shannon.

"They just broke off their engagement recently, and he needed a night out with friends," says another source close to Marilyn Manson (Brian Warner).

Don't we all.

GOT WOOD? Marilyn Manson no longer does. Maybe for the best.

While together, Manson had proposed to the True Blood actress, 22, during a January performance in Paris, witnesses said. She enthusiastically accepted.

The two began dating in 2006, when Evan Rachel Wood was barely legal, but then broke up in 2008, when Wood was linked briefly to actor Shane West.

They reconciled for a short time, only to split again before getting engaged last January. That's all over now though, as they've gone their separate ways.

Hopefully they can get back together and break up again soon.

You may have heard the inevitable news that Marilyn Manson and his girlfriend honey Evan Rachel Wood just got engaged earlier this week. Well, that was right!

Kind of.

The 41-year-old shock-rocker and 22-year-old True Blood actress are indeed betrothed. But the couple didn't get engaged at a Paris concert on Monday.

Instead, they got engaged at his Paris concert on December 21!

The self-proclaimed Antichrist Superstar (real name Brian Warner) bought a ring and rose for the occasion and canoodled backstage with the actress afterward.

Manson's first marriage, to Dita Von Teese, went up in flame back in 2007 after he hooked up with Wood, who starred in his video for "Heart-Shaped Glasses."

He and Wood hooked up right around the time he stopped seeing Dita. They broke up in 2008 only to reconcile last April. Now they're together ... forever!

Congratulations?

Evan Rachel Wood and Marilyn Manson just got back together last month after spending some time apart. Are they now fast-tracking their relationship to the altar?

According to The Mirror (UK), they are already engaged to be married.

An inside source says that at one of the shock rocker's recent shows in Paris, France, he asked Evan to be his wife. Evan said "Yes." Congratulations ... we think?

As recently as September, Evan was linked to her True Blood co-star, Alexander Skarsgard. She soon got back together with Manson, but is this rumor legit?

We sort of hope not. We're happy for them and all, but nothing good can come of this. We're picturing black roses, vials of blood and other morbid stuff.

The couple is registered at Pottery Barn and Hot Topic.

Break out the barf bags, because Marilyn Manson and Evan Rachel Wood and totally back together. The big news was broken ... by Manson himself!

In a new interview about his upcoming material, if that's what you'd call it, Marilyn revealed that he and the True Blood cast member are a thing:

“Sometimes you feel awkward being what you’re best at, you feel like you have to be something new. But I think that a lot of people will agree that me being me at my absolute best [is what] I need to be. I think that that really paid off."

"I’m back with Evan, that’s kind of breaking news.”

One of the celeb world's hottest, strangest couple is back on!

After she took over for Dita von Teese, Evan Rachel Wood and Marilyn Manson dated and lived together for about a year before breaking up in November 2008.

She was recently linked to True Blood's Alexander Skarsgard.

Marilyn also had an interesting quote regarding his career.

Asked if his new music will be "a more honest look" at the rocker, he replied, "Yeah, I think it will be more badass. More romantic maybe. Definitely self abusive."

Whatever that means, we not sure we even want to know.

Some estimates have predicted that the H1N1 virus, commonly referred to as the swine flu, may impact up to one-half of the humans living in the U.S.

That may be far-fetched, but it has already hit Marilyn Manson.

Yes, the former husband of Dita Von Teese and boyfriend of Evan Rachel Wood has gone down with a bout of swine flu, he confirmed in a recent interview.

This has put a temporarily hold on his career as an aging goth shock rocker.

THE H1N1 STRIKES BACK: Marilyn Manson is the latest victim.

"So I have officially been diagnosed, by a real doctor, with THE SWINE FLU," said Marilyn, real name Brian Warner, in a hilarious statement, which concludes:

"I know everyone will suggest that f*%king some pig is how this disease was obtained. However, the doctor said, my past choices in women have in no way contributed to me acquiring this mysterious sickness. Unfortunately, I am going to survive.”

With responses like that, we'd say it's quite fortunate.

Actress Evan Rachel Wood is sick of the false rumors circulating about why she and Marilyn Manson broke up - a split no one ever saw coming.

"Manson and I both decided to take some time apart so we could concentrate on work. Someone used that opportunity to kick us while we were down and sell a completely false story," the actress, 21, explained in a statement.

Stories of the couple splitting up in a bitter fashion - sparked by Wood's brother Ira, who had been living with the pair, getting kicked out of Marilyn Manson's guest house by the 39-year-old shock rocker - started popping up this week.

But Evan Rachel Wood said it was all blown out of proportion.

"Manson owns the house he lives in. My brother has never stayed there and the person that said such horrible things about Manson being 'controlling' and 'emotionally abusive' is certainly no source 'close' to me," Wood said.

"Manson has been by my side and taken care of me through the best and worst times. I love him as a person and as an artist. I will always be proud to have been a part of that."

"If any more attacks are made on us, it is the act of a desperate, selfish person, who is angry to no longer be a part of my life. No further comment will be made at this time."

Manson and Wood began dating in December 2006. Prior to cradle robbing Evan, he was seeing Dita von Teese naked like a lot. They were married, after all.

Man, we were joking before about how it was just a matter of time before Evan Rachel Wood became morphed into Dita Von Teese by Marilyn Manson.

But if you peep the photos below, you'll see Manson's teenage actress girlfriend really is starting to look more and more like his estranged former wife!

It's a transformation as strange as it is inevitable.

Next thing you know, Marilyn will be pushing Evan Rachel Wood into girl-on-girl action and she'll be stripping for money in a giant martini glass. Or something.

Somehow Marilyn Manson has seen both Dita Von Teese nude and Evan Rachel Wood naked. We totally should have gone into the goth shock rock profession.

A sexy Evan Rachel Wood kept her white (hot!) gloves on during a special screening of her new musical romance, Across The Universe, Thursday.

The film opens in theaters nationwide next Friday, September 21. Oh, Evan's boyfriend, Marilyn Manson, waited on the sidelines during the screening.

Evan Rachel Wood says she isn't a fan of celebrity gossip, but she also recently told reporters that she doesn't see much of a point in complaining about it.

"I don't buy when people say [being harassed by celebrity photo agencies] is not their fault, because there is a way to control it. My experience with being famous and other celebrities has convinced me I wasn't built for it," she said.

"Maybe it was the way I was brought up, but it is really terrifying for me when a bunch of people are staring at me or chasing me. The other night, people were jumping on the car and banging on the windows. I don't think people know how scary that is. It is like a strange dream. It becomes animalistic to me, and creepy. But I try my best to stay out of it."

As for Marilyn Manson, he's a weird guy. But he's seen both Evan Rachel Wood and Dita Von Teese nude, so you have to kinda give him props.
