Marilyn Manson had split with wife the burlesque star Dita Von Teese late last year, and he thinks Evan Rachel Wood is his ideal partner. Marilyn Manson explained in France's Le Parisien newspaper: "I've found my double, my twin, with my new girlfriend Evan Rachel Wood.
"She's 19 and certainly that's very young, but that's not a problem for me. She likes the same things as me. She understands I like to get up when night falls and go to sleep at dawn."
Marilyn Manson says the marriage to Dita Von Teese failed because he didn't want to settle down and become "more adult," and he explained that she had wanted to change him: "I was married to someone who wanted me to change. Become more adult, more responsible."
Eat Me, Drink Me, Marilyn Manson’s new album, he says was inspired by his marriage break-up. It will be the official follow-up to 2003's The Golden Age of Grotesque, and the first single from the album will be Heart-Shaped Glasses (When the Heart Guides the Hand).
Marilyn Manson will play a series of shows in America with Slayer to promote Eat Me, Drink Me, which is due for release on June 5. In the meanwhile, If I Was Your Vampire, a song from the new album, can be heard on the Marilyn manson site on Myspace.com.
