Marilyn Manson’s Gonna Have One Weird-Ass Yard Sale

Marilyn Manson’s old keyboard buddy, Madonna Wayne Gacy, recently hit the gaunt cradle robber and former rock star with a breach-of-contract lawsuit, complaining that Manson had been skimming profits rightly owed to the band to buy stuff that makes Elephant Man-era Michael Jackson look like a quaint collector of roadside folk art:

The suit further alleges Manson took assets belonging to the rest of the band (money generated through touring, and album and merchandise sales) to purchase Nazi paraphernalia, African masks made of human skin and the full skeleton of a 4-year-old Chinese girl, all of which he has on display in his mansion at Chatsworth, California mansion.”

Is this what happens when an overgrown teenage boy who never lost his unfortunate fascination with serial killer chic starts making a lot of money? What catalog does one even start to look in to find masks made of human skin? At least Lars Ulrich just collects large, ugly paintings. Manson denies the allegations of financial impropriety, obviously, but not that he owns all that totally scary stuff, dude.
