Dita Von Teese Says Ex-Husband Marilyn Manson Didn’t Abuse Her During Their Relationship
Marilyn Manson has been accused of abuse by several women, but his ex wife Dita Von Teese said in a statement Thursday that the accusations don’t “match” her experience during their 7-year relationship.

It’s perhaps inevitable that he would cross paths with Nicolas Cage, an actor whose post-Oscar film choices have tended to veer into the grimiest edges of genre, resulting in a very mixed bag of delights and duds. One might have hoped that “Prisoners of the Ghostland” — Sono’s English-language debut, starring Cage, and making its world…
