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.

31. They were together for many years before they got married. And now he leaves her for a 19 year old after one year of marriage. Can anyone say MIDLIFE CRISIS?! Hell, for having to actually have sex with that man(thing, it) she deserves all the spousal support she can ring out of the prick!

32. What and idiot he is. Everything he does is just digging himslef deeper and deeper. I lost all respect for him.
counter-divorcing? he cheats and does drugs and tries to one up her in legal papers, what a loser.

33. I don't see Marilyn 'QUOTED' here as EVER SAYING he won't give Dita a dime.
It's YOUR headline, TMZ. He's just asked to block spousal support from the date of the split, which everyone would do, and he wants her to pay for her own lawyers. Duh. Having been married, I'm sure Marilyn expects shared profits from the duration of the legal marriage to be divided with Dita in some way. A false, scurrilous headline such as this ruins Marilyn's name, and is unethical. What you twisted was, 'Marilyn won't give Dita a dime from the split on'. Misleading, midleading, misleading.

36. Maybe Dita was becoming a little too conservative after settling into married life ?? and Manson wanted someone younger, sexier, hotter, wilder ?? guys like him always want someone younger, sexier and wilder than the last one they've had. Perhaps he wanted someone a little more edgier than the glamourpuss thing that Dita did. Evan whatever her name is quite glamorous herself, I can't figure out why he chose her. but anyway, I think he is over the whole 1930's burlesque and vaudeville arch dandy persona. His personal life accommodates whatever progression he makes as a musician and performer I guess. He moves on and moves with the times and perhaps Dita was more likely to stay stuck doing the vintage burlesque thing which is nice but it was all very transient.

38. Dita isn't asking for anything. MM filed the motion because he's paranoid from the drugs and alcohol. It's a pre-emptive move. I'm sure his lawyer advised him to do it.

That said, Dita is HOT, and MM is a dolt. You let that hot piece womanliness go? Dolt-Du-Jour.

42. Dita is a gold digging b****, go marilyn go, take her for the few pennies she has. so why is is that she has to get the spousal support and not him?? she's got a job and she gets a paycheque. oh i kno, it's cause the man is making more than the woman and as a society that's not right, pff. TAKE HER FOR ALL SHE'S NOT WORTH!!

43. I think if Manson wanted the split (which all evidence points to, even though Dita served the divorce papers first) then he should have to pay for her lawyers.

44. What does she expect after getting married to a FREAK like that? He'd spend more time with his make-up than her.

45. Manson, you've got money. At least be courteous. Does she deserve half of everything you own? No. But at least pay for lawyers.

Also, on a side note, I must mention...

Manson is not a goth. And he does not (and never has) made goth-rock.
