MARILYN MANSON And DITA VON TEESE Set For Pet Custody Battle
January 9, 2007With burlesque dancer Dita Von Teese ending her marriage to Marilyn Manson, the New York Post hears the couple are set to battle over their pets. They do have several cats, two of which are named Lily and Aleister, and two dachshunds, Greta and Eva. A source friendly with the two says, "They are fighting over custody of the cats — not so much the dogs." When Dita moved out of their home, she took the animals with her, and the shock rocker is reportedly missing the felines.
Von Teese, whose real name is Heather Sweet, has cited "irreconcilable differences" in her divorce papers, which were reportedly served to Manson at a Los Angeles recording studio on Friday (January 5). Sources told the Post that Von Teese had actually filed before Christmas, but was unable to get in touch with Manson to inform him.
A friend of Von Teese said, "He's not been responsive. She loved him so much, but he has too many demons. He can't even communicate with her at this point. She tried to tell him she was divorcing him, but she can't even get him on the phone. She moved out of the house and he hasn't even noticed."
The friend added that Manson had been drinking heavily in the past year, but that Von Teese "really tried to make this work."
Manson, whose real name is Brian Warner, is in the studio working on a new album. He married Von Teese in December of 2005 after seven years together. Manson was previously engaged to actress Rose McGowan.
