Manson: I Won't Give Dita a Dime

Manson & Von TeeseJust two weeks after Dita Von Teese filed for divorce from Marilyn Manson, the goth rocker is trying to make luscious Dita's financial life a living hell.

According to court documents obtained by TMZ, Manson asked the courts to block any future claim by Von Teese for spousal support. Marilyn also wants her to pay for her own lawyers.

The former lovers aren't seeing eye-to-mascara-covered-eye on the date of their breakup either. Manson claims they split on Halloween, while Von Teese claims they broke up two months later on Christmas Eve. They are both blaming the split on "irreconcilable differences."

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.

The couple has no children.

18. She may have to pay him if he's squandering his fundage on booze, drugs, partying and whoopey?

19. If she really wants to stick it to him, she should hook up with his former best friend-now bitter enemy- Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails. They'd be a pretty hot couple, and now Trent is sober so she'd wouldn't have to worry about the partying stuff.

20. Dita shouldn't have to require any of his dollars, she makes out nicely on her own. Pull up her biography, check out her website, she's alright. Any woman that owns and drives a 39 Chrysler New Yorker is OK in my book. She deserves a better life as any woman does without dealing with a pig like him. Still not sure what to think about MM. Why he would leave a beautiful woman like Dita to be with a plain jane kid. Dita is the meaning of Lady, I have always adored the old movies when ladies were ladies and not a hair out of place, and dressed full tilt, and she promotes this style easily.
Too bad more women don't start copying her style

21. I have too agree with #20 in alot of ways. While it shouldn't ONLY be women who keep themselves looking good and bringing back some of the golden-age type glamour - this younger bunch of "stars" (Lindsey, Paris, Brittany, et al) really embarass me as a woman. They are so appalling and such AWFUL examples for girls and young women.

22. He is so ugly and weird! Yuck!

23. I agree #19 she is a beautiful , stylish woman and not a skank like the paris, britney, lindsey snatchs!

24. She was the one who reportedly served him divorce papers (on his birthday), and she makes plenty of money. Is there any reason why he should pay for her lawyer and spousal support? I am curious how Marilyn is “trying to make luscious Dita's financial life a living hell” as the article reads.
Actually I am not, because I am sure he isn’t!

25. Rose McGowan said it all, I guess Dita wasnt listening.

26. If I were her I'd be paying him to stay out of my life.

27. When men do not provide support for a spouce after a divorce, doesn't that mean that he's attempting to reduce his wife/lover to less than a prostitute? Prostitutes and strippers make more. So why should a woman marry and provide support and comfort to a man? If their income isn't shared nothing else should be. He's basically saying I've used you now you can die.

28. ... spouse

29. are you people retarded- maybe i read something wrong- but she's asking for NOTHING- she makes very good money on her own - and filed the papers asking for no money. She has also made it clear that she didn't want kids right away. They were together for 7 years before the marriage so- she could have hatched that supposed evil plan ages ago.

30. Zil,
They got together in 2001, so they haven't even been together a total of 7 years though a lot of media is reporting they spent that long together. they're wrong.
Anyway, Marilyn is no gentleman.
Yes, Dita is better than Blowhan, but it's sad that that's all we have to go by to call someone a lady.
I appreciate her style. They both earn less than you would think, but Dita can make her own living. When she bought the Chrysler, she was working at a strip club. I think it's afe to say she earns about 2 - 3 times the amount of a stripper on a good night.
Manson, ugh. He must be big in Japan or Jordan, there's no excuse for why he still would have ANY money at all. Isn't that why he left the music biz tmporarily? Of course, he says it's for other reasons. He's not as "intelliegnt" as he would want us to beleive either. Anyone who thinks so has never read a book without pictures.
