Marilyn Manson and Dita Von Teese Divorce

TMZ.com has obtained divorce papers filed by Marilyn Manson's wife, burlesque dancer Dita by Von Teese (real name Heather Sweet) in Los Angeles Superior Court. In the documents, Von Teese cites irreconcilable differences as the reason for ending her marriage to Manson (real name Brian Warner). According to Sweet, the couple called it quits on Christmas Eve. You can check out the documents at this location (PDF file) if you wish.

While the papers were filed on December 29, a source close to the couple tells the New York Post's Page Six that Manson has been in the dark on the split, because Von Teese can't get in touch with the guy. "She tried to tell him she was divorcing him, but she can't even get him on the phone." Page Six also claims that Manson's alcohol use may have oiled up the breakup.

The Sun reports Dita Von Teese ended her brief marriage to Marilyn Manson because of the rocker's drug use and non-stop partying with Lindsay Lohan. "Dita just had enough of his wild partying. Lindsay Lohan was always ringing up the house wanting to come round and party with him," a source revealed. "The phone would go all through the night, with people turning up at the house to hang out. And he became paranoid as a result of the drugs he was taking. At one stage he thought the cleaner was trying to kill him."

Now Manson is romantically involved with 19-year-old actress Evan Rachel Wood, sources close to the situation tell People magazine. A source told the mag, "Dita is heartbroken, she didn't see this coming. His partying contributed to the split as well."

Manson and Von Teese had a star-studded wedding ceremony in Ireland in December of 2005. Keanu Reeves, Lisa Maria Presley and Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne were among the guests.

In the opinion of my mates and myself, DVT is now spoilt/damaged goods..
you know when your having a few drinks with your mates and the topic comes up, which celeb/musician etc would you screw/date if you had the chance.. Up until mazza and dita started dating she was quite high up, and now since manson has done the deed only one of my mates would, but then again he works for roadrunner and loves korn... his opinion is laughed at.

I dont see why this is news or why we are commenting on it... hang on... sod it ignore everything this post didnt happen.

Manson is a self-important twat who has planned his shallow rent-a-rockstar life along with his shallow music every step of the way. Marriage to a fetish model... yawn! how predictable. Dita, if you ever thought this would be love, more fool you. Ha! Now you know.

The man wrote a song that's opening lyric's are as follow's."I don't care if your world is ending today.Because I was'nt invited to it anyway.You said I tasted famous so I drew you a heart.Now I'm not an artist I'm a f***ing work of art I gat a F & a C and I got a K too and the only thing that's missing is a b**** LIKE U!!!!" Why the f*** would she or anyone else consider marrying someone who think's like that ? Shed've been better off marrying a Porn Star.Atleast the affairs would not be a secret.

Don't get me wrong.I like the song but you gotta wonder what's going threw the man's head some times.

I'm a huge Marilyn Manson fan, have been my whole life... and even I think he's a f***ing idiot for leaving her. But, none of us live with her or know her in real life so I won't loose respect for him until some proper statements on the divorce come out.

But -- Hanging out with Lindsay Lohan and this Evans chick I've never even heard of? I'm extremely disappointed. Disappointed enough that I may not even care when he releases his next album. Given he was supposed to retire from music writing when they got married, I'm sure that's one of the many reasons why he's becoming a party animal again. If that's the case, then I don't blame her.

Seriously, you must be all talk when the only people you party with are people like Lindsay Lohan...

Now, if it was Varg Vikernes (Burzum), Lindsay Lohan would've been shot for calling him. And if it was Dead (Mayhem), he probably would've killed himself to surround himself with better people...

Ah, I'm just being stupid and attempting to be funny...

Honestly, Manson is a p***y, and he's not even Metal....
