Shock-rocker Marilyn Manson is probably the last person that comes to mind when you think about Catherine Zeta-Jones. Both are extremely successful in their own lines of work, but it's unlikely that Marilyn will settle down for a quiet evening in front of Chicago. Likewise, there's little chance of Catherine ever popping Antichrist Superstar onto her MP3 player. Digital Spy charts a course from Marilyn to Catherine through Six Degrees Of Separation... with the aid of alcohol! Marilyn Manson to... Guy Ritchie - Celebs have a tendency to lend their name to any old tat if it'll make them a few quid. Marilyn, though, seems to have put a bit of thought into his own potent product. The 'Beautiful People' singer recently launched his own brand of absinthe, cunningly called 'Mansinthe'. Guy Ritchie is also taking his love for (more)

Latest: Burlesque star Dita Von Teese has asked a Los Angeles court to dismiss her lawsuit against a giant swan manufacturer over a malfunctioning stage prop after the item was returned to her fully repaired.

The former wife of Marilyn Manson, real name Heather Sweet, employed the services of Fred Knaff last year to build her a 10 foot (3.05 metres) high swan with a fountainhead in the beak, in which she could perform the act she calls Swan Lake.

But the fountain malfunctioned at her show's debut in Toronto, Canada on 12 November - and she was forced to return the damaged goods for repair.

Knaff reportedly refused to fix it - and Von Teese subsequently filed suit against Knaff's firm in April.

But now Von Teese has filed a motion at Los Angeles Superior Court in a bid to have her legal action dismissed, claiming she has settled the dispute out of court, according to website TMZ.com.

Evan Rachel Wood sports it discreetly on her hip and Marilyn Manson's is on his wrist, but the couple's matching tattoos mean one thing: love. Wood, 19, told People about the couple's matching body art Tuesday night at the Nicole Miller and Cinema Society screening of her new movie, The Life Before Her Eyes. "It's a lightning bolt for David Bowie. And it has a black valentine heart around it," she said. "Marilyn has a black heart on his wrist and I have a black heart. We got them on Valentine's Day." Wood still has a "J" tattooed on one ankle,

Dita Von Teese had a "long list" of reasons to split from Marilyn Manson, including the shock rockers drug-taking.

The pair's year-long union ended in December 2006, when the burlesque star moved out of the marital home.

Their relationship had deteriorated so much, when asked by The New York Times of the best thing about their divorce, she replies, "There's a long list of things".

Von Teese adds, "I am happy to have the drugs out of my life."

And she celebrated becoming a single girl in an extravagant fashion: "I took my engagement diamond and had it transformed at Christian Dior in Paris into a beautiful ring. It's nice; it's big. I feel like I suffered greatly for that diamond, and it needed to be reborn into something better.

"One of my big extravagances when I moved out of my former husband's house was a matching pink stove and refrigerator in '50s style."

Latest: Marilyn Manson has won a court bid to keep details of his financial affairs private as part of his ongoing legal battle with former bandmate Madonna Wayne Gacy.

Gacy sued the Shock Rocker for breach of contract last August, claiming Manson - real name Brian Warner - poured the group's money into financing his drug habit, his wedding to burlesque model Dita Von Teese and decorating work at his Chatsworth, California home.

Manson then countersued in December, accusing Gacy - real name Stephen Bier - of failing to properly carry out touring, recording and merchandising duties.

Manson's team appealed to Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Michael L. Stern to grant a confidentiality order to protect his financial records, arguing the privacy motion was needed because Gacy's allegations directly relate to the star's monetary value.

At a court hearing on Friday, Stern granted the order despite protests from Gacy's camp.

And keyboardist Gacy is still fuming over the financial protection, which only allows his attorneys access to Manson's personal accounts.

His lawyer Keith A. Fink says, "He's trying to hide his skeletons from you all."

A hearing is scheduled for 10 April, where Gacy's people are expected to push forward with a petition to depose Manson.

Shock rocker Marilyn Manson is fighting to keep details of his financial affairs private in his court battle with ex-bandmate Stephen Bier.

Bier sued Manson - real name Brian Warner - for breach of contract last August, claiming the singer poured the group's money into financing his drug habit, his wedding to burlesque model Dita Von Teese and decorating work at his Chatsworth, California home, among other expenditure.

Manson then countersued in December, accusing Bier of failing to properly carry out touring, recording and merchandising duties.

The rocker's lawyer is urging Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Michael L. Stern to grant Manson an order that protects his financial records, meaning they'd be available for Bier's camp only and banned from public exposure.

Manson's team insist the singer's records need to be made confidential, because Bier's allegations directly relate to Manson's monetary value.

However, Bier's attorneys have hit back, insisting it's ludicrous that a man who spends his life in the public eye and shamelessly courts publicity should demand such details be covered up.

A hearing is scheduled for 10 April, where Bier's people are expected to push forward with a petition to depose Manson.
