Goth-rocker Marilyn Manson is being sued by his former keyboard player for taking the band’s earnings and spending them on “sick and disturbing purchases”. These are said to include African masks made of human skin, the skeleton of a disabled man in a wheelchair and the skeleton of a four-year-old Chinese girl – that’s some interior design, and all of it illegal under US law if true.

Keyboardist Stephen Bier (stage name: Madonna Wayne Gacy) also alleges that Manson used the band’s money to buy Nazi memorabilia and to hire his girlfriend on the “highest salary ever paid to any actress in any music video in history”. We wouldn’t be surprised by anything Marilyn pulled off, but doesn’t this have the smell of the sourest sour grapes? We’re prepared to be that none of this would come up if there weren’t some seriously big bucks at stake…
