Marilyn Manson Engaged to Evan Rachel Wood

Just one month after on-again-off-again lovers Marilyn Manson and Evan Rachel Wood reconciled, the shock rocker proposed to the 22-year-old actress -- and she said "yes"! Her parents must be delighted.

According to the U.K.'s Mirror, Manson popped the question to Wood Tuesday night while onstage performing a concert in Paris. The date, January 5, was also his 41st birthday.

Like everything Manson, the engagement is a little shocking -- and not because of the couple's 19-year age difference, or the rocker's newfound proclivity for "snorting sea monkeys."

Last Spring in a juicy interview with SPIN.com, Manson had a few not-so-nice words for his ex: "I have fantasies every day about smashing her skull in with a sledgehammer," the make-up clad Los Angelo said.

Not long after, Manson even released a gruesome music video for "Running to the Edge of the World," an emotional ballad from his SPIN-praised album The High End of Low, in which he locks a nearly-naked young girl in a hotel bathroom, then beats her bloody. The girl's resemblance to Wood is more than coincidence.

For Wood, all this sickening violence is apparently forgivable.

Wow,somehow I doubt this one is going to last.
Who wants to start a pool on the divorce date?
That is if they even do manage to get married

Weird....even for him.

He should have been on "The Bachlor."

this is his like third engagement.

I wounder if those things he said about his ex were taken out of context

Or for publicity maybe to feed his *shock* fans?

That'd be interesting.

Some of these celebrities dont know the power of love only the power of money.

Ahh, that made me think, would any of you consider marring
Mister Manson if he just walked up and asked you?

he's not all there really is he?

Music is ok in places and has had a great merch machine behind him but his mental instability is starting to show thru don't you think?

I realize I have a high threshold for what I consider "sick", but wow, I didn't think Manson was that sick.

I feel sorry for Wood. Her father is a complete egomaniac, so she started out with a crappy male role model (he's a local celeb in Raleigh; a big but mediocre fish in a small pond). Apparently she was never shown what a healthy relationship looks like.

I'd never normally wish ill on a couple, but I hope she breaks it off before she allows herself to be broken.

What is all the fuss about and really what business is it of ours? He seems obsessed with publicity so I think she will be ok Bless

^^ Not our business at all, and I hope I'm wrong about them, but I've seen too many women enter into abusive relationships. And too many men think they're OK. That's all.

(edited for clarity)

I'm sure MM is a pussycat RA but have to agree Men who feel the need to be abusive don't deserve the beauty of womankind

I hope he's a pussycat indeed. One never knows. And your comment was lovely.

Everything about this is wrong. Why they dated in the first place seemed all wrong. Makes my stomach hurt thinking about too much, that BW would smoothly phase from his marriage to Dita into a relationship with some emotionally damaged child, and allow his artistic production and personal feelings to become immature and violently misguided. His music and his actions since breaking up with Dita, have become void of the depth and edge he once built his legacy on. He's engaged to a messed up little kid now, and acting like a messed up little kid as well. They'll drag each other down even further.

^^^I hope when he is once "drug down" he can write better music.

Marilyn Manson has a few decent songs, but I don't own any of his music, not even digitally. I simply cannot take him seriously. Dita VonTeese sure learned her lesson after the divorce. Have you read those interviews? Something tells me that Manson is a very manipulative person. If you take a look at Evan Rachel Wood throughout the years, notice how she started to morph into a Dita VonTeese look-alike after dating Manson. He wants the image, but that doesn't mean he wants the person.

He was looking for a younger model of the same woman. He must have been deranged to have binned off Dita

Once upon a time my uber-goth friend Casey spontaneously proposed to his on-again-off-again sorority girl. True story.

I was to be the "best man". But I couldn't help myself. I decided to have an intervention. He would have none of it. I found myself uninvited to the wedding.

Six months later they were divorced. The end.
