Marilyn Manson In Music Video Controversy

Marilyn Manson is yet again involved with controversy, according to NME.com. The goth-metal singer is now being accused of having, not simulating, actual sex with his current girlfriend Evan Rachel Wood in the video for his new single "Heart-Shaped Glasses (When The Heart Guides The Hand)" from forthcoming album, Eat Me, Drink Me.

Radar magazine was told by a source close to the Manson camp, "Let's just say there were some conservative people involved [with the video] that got a little upset about things that were taking place, and there's been rumours back and forth, but I will not confirm or deny them."

The singer's latest stunt is so shocking that it's practically predictable. Manson told MTV, "Anyone who is lazy or, I guess, has the lack of depth to expect (a video from me) to be shocking and then say it's not shocking, is essentially the same as saying your partner is bad in bed when you're a masturbator... I think it's one of those 'buyer beware' situations. You can't be mad at me when you know what you're asking for."
