Brian Hugh Warner (born January 5, 1969), better known by his stage name Marilyn Manson, is a musician and artist known for his outrageous stage persona and image as the lead singer of the band that bears the same name. His stage name was formed from the names Marilyn Monroe and Charles Manson, showing what he considered the ultimate and most disturbing dualism of American culture. However, many consider him the most awesome vampire in America, excluding the only emperor of America, Joshua Norton. (see emperor Joshua A. Norton). Of course, he is considered being elected for emperor when comes out of hiding.
Early life
Manson was born in Canton, OH to Hugh and Barbra Warner as an only child. He attended Heritage Christian School in Canton, a private school serving grades 1-8, and later GlenOak High School, also in Canton. He was raised as an Episcopalian. [1] This church is, although generally unknown, the reason his skin turned that weird color. Christ compells vampires...
Career
In 1990, Warner was a college student working toward a journalism degree, and gaining experience in the field by writing music articles for a South Florida lifestyle magazine, 25th Parallel where he was able to meet several of the musicians to whom his own band would later be compared, including My Life With the Thrill Kill Kult and Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails.
Music
After forming a band called Marilyn Manson & the Spooky Kids in 1989, he continued to perform and release cassettes — shortening their name to Marilyn Manson in 1992 — until the summer of 1993, when the band drew the attention of Trent Reznor, who at the time had just founded his own record label, Nothing Records. Three of the band's albums have been awarded platinum certification and three more have been awarded gold, and the band has seen three of its releases debut in the top ten, including two number-one albums.
Film and television
Manson's first film role was in 1997, as a pornographic actor in David Lynch's Lost Highway. Since then he has appeared in a variety of minor roles and cameos, including Party Monster, based on the the murder of Angel Melendez by Michael Alig; former love interest Rose McGowan's 1998 film Jawbreaker; Alejandro Jodorowsky's, 2004 film The Heart Is Deceitful Above All Things; Rise; and The Hire: Beat The Devil, the sixth installment in the BMW Films series. He appeared as himself in Michael Moore's political documentary Bowling for Columbine discussing the motivations of the perpetrators and allegations that his music was somehow a factor. He has apppared in animated form in Clone High and Family Guy and participated in several episodes of the MTV series Celebrity Deathmatch; he often performed the voice for his claymated puppet, and contributed the song "Astonishing Panorama of the Endtimes" to the soundtrack album.
In July 2005, Manson told Rolling Stone magazine that he was shifting his focus from music to filmmaking - "I just don't think the world is worth putting music into right now. I no longer want to make art that other people--particularly record companies--are turning into a product. I just want to make art." He is currently working on his directorial debut, Phantasmagoria: The Visions of Lewis Carroll, In the film Manson plays the role of Lewis Carroll, author of Alice In Wonderland. Rather than a web-only release, Manson decided to give the $4.2 million budget film a conventional cinema release in mid-2007. The film will have an original music soundtrack with previously unreleased songs. [2]
Art
Manson began his career as a watercolor painter in 1999 when he made five-minute concept pieces and sold them to drug dealers. [citation needed] On September 13-14, 2002, his first show, The Golden Age of Grotesque, was held at the Los Angeles Contemporary Exhibitions Centre. Reactions to his paintings was largely positive with one critic comparing them to Egon Schiele’s pieces and describing them as ‘heartfelt’ and ‘sincerely painted’.[citation needed] Art in America liked them to the works of a ‘psychiatric patient given materials to use as therapy’.[citation needed] Others saw less merit in the works stating that the value was only ‘in the celebrity’.[citation needed] In September 14-15, 2004, Manson held a second exhibition on the first night in Paris and the second in Berlin. the show was named ‘Trismegistus’ which was also the title of the centre piece of the exhibit – a large three headed Christ painted onto an antique wood panel.[citation needed]
On October 31, 2006, Manson opened his own art gallery, The Celebritarian Corporation Gallery of Fine Art in Los Angeles for which his third exhibition was the inaugural show. From April 2-17, 2007, Manson's recent works were on show at the Space 39 Modern & Contemporary in Florida.
Video Games
Manson made an appearance in the video game Area 51 as an ancient and powerful Grey Alien. His likeness is also featured on the Celebrity Deathmatch video game (2003). [citation needed]
Marriage to Dita Von Teese
Manson and Dita Von Teese, a popular American burlesque artist, model and actress, started dating on Manson's 32nd birthday (January 5, 2001), and Manson proposed three years later on 22 March 2004. On 3 December 2005 (court documents say 28 November), the couple were married in a non-denominational ceremony at Gurteen Castle in Kilsheelan, County Tipperary, Ireland, the home of artist, Gottfried Helnwein. The wedding was officiated by surrealist film director and comic book writer Alejandro Jodorowsky. [3]
On January 30, 2007 Manson and Von Teese split after her filing for divorce due to "irreconcilable differences".[4] ET.com and People claimed that Manson was having an extramarital affair with 19-year-old actress Evan Rachel Wood, who is to co-star in his upcoming horror film Phantasmagoria: The Visions of Lewis Carroll. [5][6] The relationship was confirmed by Von Teese in an interview with Britain's Sunday Telegraph, "I get the impression he thinks I was unsupportive. But the truth is I wasn't supportive of his lifestyle, and someone else came along who was."[7] Manson's alcohol abuse and distant behavior were also cited as cause for the split.[8] Manson is reportedly fighting for custody of the couple's two cats.[9]
On May first of this year Manson and Dita signed papers for their divorce. Manson is currently seeing Evan Rachel Wood, who is 18 years his junior.

- In a civil suit presented by Oakland County, Michigan, Manson was charged with sexual misconduct against another security officer, Joshua Keasler, during a concert in Clarkston, Michigan on July 30, 2001. Oakland County originally filed assault & battery and criminal sexual misconduct charges,[13] but the judge reduced the latter charge to misdemeanor disorderly conduct.[14] Manson pleaded no contest to the reduced charges, paid a $4,000 fine,[15] and later settled the lawsuit under undisclosed terms.[16]
- On April 2, 2002 Maria St. John filed in Los Angeles Superior Court accusing Manson of providing her daughter, Jennifer Syme, with cocaine and instructing her to drive while under the influence.[17]
