Where are the reality show cameras when you really need them? Marilyn Manson, 38, tells Rolling Stone how he recently sat down for a chat with the likely bitterly disappointed parents of his 19-year-old paramour-cum-emotional twin Evan Rachel Wood to discuss her groan-filled appearance in his explicit video for "Heart-Shaped Glasses." "I had to have a drink with Evan's mother and father," kvetches the maturity-eschewing rocker. "The main thing that needs to be established is that I might share my life with her, but that does not incriminate her in my behavior. So, if I want to go dig a hole and bury my genitals in it, that doesn't mean she dug the hole. Basically, I'm not as bad in the way they'd like to think I am. But I'm bad in a different way. I'm always going to be bad. More bad than Michael Jackson, but that's probably not a good comparison, considering." Manson says he's "not surprised" her folks are worried about her daddy issues romance, but, he adds, "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."
Meanwhile, long before Wood fell under the squicky thrall of Manson, she was involved with fresh-faced -- and age appropriate -- "Billy Elliot" star Jamie Bell, 21, who admits their break-up last year hit him hard. "It was difficult because I was very much in love with her," he tells British GQ. "It was a mutual decision to split -- we were both very upset because we had such a great time. But we're in two very different places. She's only just getting the idea of independence, which I've had since I was 14." And while dating a foundation-slathered guy old enough to be your father doesn't seem like the wisest way to declare your independence, the starlet at least has a dedicated fan in Bell. "I'm still utterly in love with her," he says, "and think she's an amazing talent."
