Marilyn Manson marriage on the rocks

Marilyn Manson's wife, burlesque dancer Dita Von Teese, has filed for divorce after one year of marriage, according to the New York Post. Von Teese, whose real name is Heather Sweet, has cited "irreconcilable differences" in her divorce papers, which were reportedly served to Manson at a Los Angeles recording studio on Friday (January 5th). Sources told the Post that Von Teese had actually filed before Christmas, but was unable to get in touch with Manson to inform him.

A friend of Von Teese said, "He's not been responsive. She loved him so much, but he has too many demons. He can't even communicate with her at this point. She tried to tell him she was divorcing him, but she can't even get him on the phone. She moved out of the house and he hasn't even noticed."

The friend added that Manson had been drinking heavily in the past year, but that Von Teese "really tried to make this work."

Manson, whose real name is Brian Warner, is in the studio working on a new album. He married Von Teese in December of 2005 after seven years together. Manson was previously engaged to actress Rose McGowan.

Manson and Von Teese have two cats and two dogs. It is not known whether Von Teese will take custody of the pets.
