Director Roger Avary praises Marilyn Manson's aesthetic

Further proof that the air in Los Angeles is infected with the energy of Manson-Berlin-by-proxy, Roger Avary discussed his experience at the sold-out Pussycat Dolls show (that featured Dita Von Teese) in his online journal.

"Marilyn Manson was there, in his full faux-Gestapo regalia (he clearly understands the show in a way that no one else there seemed to), and we hung out with him and his girlfriend, the great Dita Von Teese, at the after-party."

To read the rest, visit Roger Avary's website.

For the unitiated, Roger Avary is the director of "Killing Zoe," one of Manson's favorite films. Avary, a mutual fan, invited Manson to a screening of his new adaptation of the Bret Easton Ellis novel "Rules of Attraction," which Manson enjoyed so much he returned for a second viewing.

Manson Case Could Be Resolved Soon...

An Oakland County (Michigan) judge has refused to remove another judge from the assault case involving Marilyn Manson, clearing the way for a likely resolution of the case.

Rochester District Judge Julie Nicholson, of the 52nd District Court, was asked to disqualify Clarkston District Judge Gerald McNally. Prosecutors argued that McNally should be disqualified because he suggested he would fine Manson $2,000 on two misdemeanor charges.

Prosecutors said Monday they likely won't appeal Nicholson's ruling. Defense attorney Walter Piszczatowski said his client will likely plead to the misdemeanor and be done with the case.

"It's the correct ruling," Piszczatowski told The Oakland Press in Pontiac for a Tuesday story.

Manson was arrested after a July 30 performance at DTE Energy Music Theatre. Prosecutors allege that he assaulted a security guard there by rubbing his genitals against the guard's neck.

In December, the charges were reduced from fourth-degree criminal sexual conduct and assault and battery to disorderly conduct — punishable by up to 90 days in jail.

Manson is expected to appear in court in Oakland County on June 14.

Manson on the cover of Metal Hammer’s 100th issue!

Not only is Manson featured on the cover of this collectors box set issue, but also inside are six full color pages of photos with an in-depth interview on Manson and the band.

Here are a couple of Manson quotes right from the magazine:

“The inspiration (of the upcoming album) came from 1930’s Berlin, because it reminded me of America today in that we’ve reached such a point of decadence and extremism in art that people wonder where we’ll go from here.”

“I’d be happy making this record and having a grand tour that’s the ‘Grotesque Burlesque’, and making it the greatest thing that people have ever seen… and never doing it again!”

Marilyn Manson's Journal Addendum...

Manson has now answered the question many of you have been asking, regarding the typed piece of text in the title page of his JOURNAL section. Read his entry below:

The aged text that serves as an opening image to my journal, was put there to promote thought and discussion. I would like to make it clear that these words are not mine, nor did I intend for you to believe that they were.

I used one of the memoirs of the great and talented, Marlene Dietrich as a bit of an amusement park sign that one might see at night.

Will it turn on? Has it ever been on? Do I want it to?

Manson to appear on Jon Favreau's "Dinner for Five."

Marilyn Manson will appear on the May 6th episode of actor Jon Favreau's "Dinner for Five," a half-hour chat show featuring four show-business personalities sitting down to dinner with the host.

The New York Times had this to say about the episode: "But things can go awry, as they do at real dinner parties. The actress Daryl Hannah tries to be a good sport but is clearly horrified in the fourth episode when Marilyn Manson, the rock star, and a particularly obnoxious comedian, Andy Dick, hijack the conversation and devote most of the half-hour to their thoughts on pornography, masturbation and strippers."

Sounds like good entertainment in this webmaster's opinion.

The 4th episode features actress Darryl Hannah, comedian Andy Dick and Marilyn Manson. The fourth guest, Michael Rapaport, did not attend due to an "emergency."

"Dinner for Five" airs on the Independant Film Channel. This episode airs Monday, May 6 at 8:00 PM. Catch the repeats Monday, May 6, 11:00 PM, Tuesday, May 7, 10:30 PM, and Saturday, May 11, at 7:30 PM.

Manson used to illustrate O'Reilly's interview skills

The following is excerpted from Brendan Bernhard's article in LA Weekly titled "Smut Factory: The Corruption of the American Television Critic

THE BEST PARTS OF O'REILLY'S SHOW CAME WHEN he sat down for face-to-face interviews with such media luminaries as Jack Valenti of the Motion Picture Association of America, rap moguls Russell Simmons and Damon Dash, "shock" DJs Opie and Antony, and rage rockers Marilyn Manson and Insane Clown Posse. (Sample lyric from the latter: "I stab old people, old ladies, little kids . . . I don't give a fuck! I stabbed the fat guy in the butt.") Aside from Manson, who at least appeared thoughtful for a guy who named himself after a mass murderer, most of them came off badly. Valenti appeared to have fallen asleep at the wheel about 20 years ago, oblivious to the blare of horns around him. The DJs, with their hackneyed blather about being "artists" and "pushing people's buttons" (a phrase Manson also used), were simply obnoxious. (There should be a moratorium on pushing people's buttons: We're not elevators.) As for Simmons and Dash, when O'Reilly asked them about the effect of the more grotesque rap lyrics on kids whose parents were either too busy or too irresponsible to watch out for them, their immediate response was to cast doubt on whether O'Reilly really "cares" about the lives of black people and to challenge his right to judge the songs in the first place. "Your rigid attitude about what we can do culturally is not, for me, a guideline to what I should do," said Simmons. Evidently, the preferred attitude chez Def Jam is a supine one -- best demonstrated by those ho's so prominently featured in their videos.

Manson helps induct Ozzy in Hollywood Walk of Fame

At 11:30am this morning, at 6780 Hollywood Blvd in Hollywood, California... Ozzy Osbourne was awarded a star on Hollywood's Walk of Fame. Manson delivered a speech at the sidewalk ceremony, part of which is transcribed below:

"Most people think that you have to be happy to succeed socially, politically or financially or that success brings happiness. In turn, those who are eternally unhappy are expected to go insane and or become criminals. This star proves that it is quite obvious that Ozzy has managed to succeed while remaining insane and strangely happy despite his various crimes against man and nature."

Manson Statement

Marilyn Manson has reviewed the lawsuit filed by Maria St. John (the mother of deceased Jennifer Syme), seeking to hold Manson responsible for Syme’s death as a result of a solo car crash which occurred in the early morning hours of April 2, 2001. Manson describes as “completely false” St. John’s allegation that he furnished to Syme what St. John’s lawsuit describes as “various quantities of an illegal controlled substance.”

Manson believes that the lawsuit is completely unfounded and is investigating an immediate counter-suit against St. John for slander, harassment and abuse of the legal process. “This lawsuit, which is completely without merit, will not bring back Jennifer’s life. It serves only to reopen the wounds and the pain felt by all who loved Jennifer. It is a pity that St. John sullies her own daughter’s reputation by filing this baseless claim.”

After Manson and his five guests finished an evening at the movies followed by a quiet get together at his home, he made sure Syme received a safe ride home from a designated driver and went to sleep.

We have entered “The Golden Age of Grotesque”

Marilyn Manson has returned to crash the ether with a wit-savage shape, painting us a depraved new world disorder on his fifth studio album titled, “The Golden Age Of Grotesque.” Manson is currently in the studio and is expecting a fall release on Interscope Records. Even at such an early stage, the focus of the music’s aggressive transformation is fashioned and fearless.

The nearly completed collection of songs is being orchestrated by the theatrical production team of Manson, Tim Skold and Ben Gross. The result is what Marilyn Manson describes as his “most genius deluge of hardcore guitar-drum violence and reckless electronic-punk vaudeville mixed with 30s cabaret decadence and Arch-dandy dada. These snot-nose stompalongs will convince the finger-waving, faithless bangsters one thing for sure. We can only become what we really are when we no longer believe what others have convinced us to be. We won’t follow religion, we are one. And the understanding of my art is only the sad product of journalism. Fuck art. I am art.”

On his influences, Manson had this to say, “My inspiration for this record came from historic parallels to my own present position in popular culture. Most notably, I found myself fascinated with the overwhelming imaginative, sexually-depraved artistic chaos that just bled from some of history’s greatest minds as Berlin reached its creative extreme peak. The unfortunate onset of rigid control and conformity that brought Berlin to its fiery end seemed to almost mirror today’s less violent, but equally ignorant censorship and fear of ‘dangerous’ art.”

As a close to his speech, Manson added this: “So stand up dopplegangers, we are on a leave of Absinthe! Our lives are theatre, we are the art and the world will now become the beautifully grotesque stage it was always meant to be. Am I just an innocuous entertainer or am I the destructive force and the terrible reality you’ve suspected all along?

The simple answer is, I am Marilyn Manson.”
