This was the look Dita Von Teese was experimenting with before she turned gothic vampiress.

Marilyn Manson doesn’t want to grow up, which is why he has a 19 year old girlfriend. No doubt he’ll get another life lesson when that younger women dumps him as she begins to grow up, and moves on to a life without him.

Marilyn Manson split with wife Dita Von Teese late last year, but he’s already found a new soul mate, he says.

"I’ve found my double, my twin, with my new girlfriend, Evan Rachel Wood," the 38-year-old rocker tells France’s Le Parisien newspaper.

"She’s l9 and certainly that’s very young," he added, "but that’s not a problem for me. She likes the same things as me. She understands I like to get up when night falls and go to sleep at dawn."

A solo Manson was in Paris for three days to promote his upcoming sixth album, Eat Me, Drink Me, and he said depression and his ongoing divorce from Von Teese, 34, inspired the project.

"Our relationship ended at Halloween," he tells the paper. "I was completely destroyed psychologically. I’d rented a house and begun working on this disc, which sort of tells everything that happened to me during the past year."

Manson, whose real name Brian Warner, and Von Teese, née Heather Sweet, wed in December 2005, and sources said in January that Manson’s relationship with Wood was a factor in Von Teese’s decision to file for divorce on Dec. 29.

"I was married to someone who wanted me to change," Manson says. "Become more adult, more responsible. I began not to like myself, not like what I do. I lost my identity. Everything began collapsing around me. The record allowed me to put an end to that. Dita left at Christmas while I was recording."

According to his Web site, Manson first met Wood when he asked her to be in his upcoming horror film, Phantasmagoria: The Visions of Lewis Carroll. He tells Le Parisien the film, which he directed and which features Wood and British teen model Lily Cole sharing the role of Alice in Wonderland, will be out in October.

Von Teese, who cited "irreconcilable differences" in her filing, recently said she and Manson "are not friends … But we don’t hate each other or anything."

Dita Von Teese was getting ready at the Sunset Marquis Oasis last month, but these shots are before the makeup was applied. I think I like her better without the makeup. Who does Teese look like without makeup?

Marilyn Manson’s estranged wife Dita Von Teese appears nude in the pages of Penthouse. Apparently she really needs the money.

Dita Von Teese threw a diva-style strop at Kylie’s big night in London, refusing to wait in a queue to see the Aussie singer’s stunning exhibition of clothes at the Victoria and Albert Museum. She told me: “I haven’t seen them. I’m going now.”

It’s sad that Dita, a specially invited guest at the unveiling, showed so little interest in the show. Yet I spotted her nabbing a free Kylie perfume goodie bag as she fled. Maybe the stress of divorcing oddball Marilyn Manson is to blame.

This shatters my view that Dita is classy. Another reason to doubt Dita is classy is a very NSFW picture of Dita you can see by clicking here.
