So Much for Keeping Marilyn Manson Happy
Marilyn Manson's dad has threatened to kill Evan Rachel Wood if she breaks the rocker's heart. The shock rocker has revealed both he and the 19-year-old 'Running with Scissors' star have been warned not to hurt each other.

Manson, 38, told Rolling Stone magazine: "I found a strange ironic similarity with what her father said to me, and what my dad said to Evan, which was, 'If you break his heart, I'll kill you,' or something along those lines."

The 'Heart-Shaped Glasses' singer also appeared to hit out at his ex-wife - burlesque performer Dita Von Teese - by saying Evan was not just dating him to further her own career. He said: "Evan was a real catalyst to help me realise that I wasn't delivering the message that I always stood for. And if you were to speak about her talent and personality, she's the most unique, stand-alone person who doesn't need a relationship with me to further her career. If anything, I could only take away from it."

Manson - real name Brian Warner - married Dita in December 2005. It has been reported the rocker's relationship with Evan was a factor in Dita's decision to file for divorce last December.
