Fake Blood, Real Sex in Manson Video

MANSON (WITH PEE-WEE HANGIN' OUT) Marilyn, Paul Reubens

Family-values types have always had it in for Marilyn Manson. So just imagine their reaction when they find out that the aging agent of Satan is having actual sex with his teenage paramour in his newest video.

The video for "Heart-Shaped Glasses" (viewable here) features Manson and actress Evan Rachel Wood, a real-life couple since last fall. It begins with a lengthy sex sequence in which Wood, who is 19, reaches a loud climax (no word on whether that's fake). There's also a segment in which the starlet, dressed as Lolita, rubs her crotch while watching Manson perform onstage, and another in which she lies drenched in blood. (Interscope, which is releasing Manson's new album, Eat Me, Drink Me, this summer, reportedly plans to release a toned-down edit of the video.

[NSFW video after the jump!]



According to a source close to the production crew, Manson and Wood elected not to fake their intercourse. Though their naughty bits are concealed on-screen by bedclothes and each other's bodies, the logistics of the shoot ensured the crew members had an intimate view of the proceedings: The video was originally intended to be shot in 3-D, meaning the couple's writhings had to be shot from several different angles simultaneously. And just to be sure they got it right, Manson and Wood got it on three times for the cameras.

Of course, as we've noted in the past, planting rumors that hot on-screen sex was real is hardly an original publicity gambit. And a rep for Manson insists, "It was simulated sex."

But our source had no doubts either about what took place, or about why Manson, who cultivates an air of calculated outrageousness, would be anxious to deny it: "The Christian parents will be sharpening their steak knives for him."

Could Manson be any uglier, with or without makeup/contacts? Hard to look at, poor guy. The video is actually rather laughable, not disturbing at all. I hope he wasn't seriously trying to make any big statement. All that bloody, sexual, fantasy crap gets rather boring. He's getting kinda too old to be playing dress up for halloween 24/7, isn't he? Manson must have been picked on as a nerd when younger and now tries to be some heavy dude. He's kind of a pathetic self-centered puke whose apparently lucky with the ladies. Good for him.

Then again, behind all the baloney he fronts maybe he's a absolutely stand-up, decent guy who just needs a little rehab and a vision check (or new fashion consultant). He/she really needs to quit Peter Panning around and just grow up and out of it all now. Take a break please, and you'll be giving us all one. Thanks.
