Marilyn Manson’s Weird-Ass Yard Sale: Now Slightly Weirder

Remember a few months back when Stephen “Madonna Wayne Gacy” Bier, possibly better known to you as Marilyn Manson’s ex-keyboardist, sued Manson for skimming band profits to buy knickknacks like “African masks made of human skin, a full skeleton of a 4-year-old Chinese girl that Manson is said to have turned into a chandelier, and another skeleton of a man in a wheelchair”? As it turns out, Manson and his girlfriend spent a lot of weekends antiquing, because Bier’s amended his complaint with more “transgressive” home furnishings.

He allegedly continued his spree with swastika wall tiles and matching custom rugs, a mounted grizzly bear and two mounted baboons. Bier’s filing also says Manson arranged for his girlfriend, Evan Rachel Wood, to star in his “Heart Shaped Glasses” video for the “highest salary ever paid to any actress in any music video in history.” He also allegedly used funds to pay roadies to move suitcases filled with “Alice in Wonderland” books because he was obsessed with author Lewis Carroll.

To be fair to Wood, she does already pay the highest price for any actress in any music video ever, i.e. having to get personal with Marilyn Manson’s wang. The Post reports that “Manson’s rep couldn’t be reached,” possibly because he was negotiating the sale of a charm bracelet made out of the true cross, Alice Cooper’s body hair, and the dried blood of a Transylvanian orphan.
