Evan Rachel Wood: Manson/Von Teese Home Wrecker?

Marilyn Manson

More details about the impending divorce of shock rocker Marilyn Manson and model/burlesque dancer Dita Von Teese are starting to emerge, and some of them — if they're true — are pretty surprising.

The 38-year-old Manson, who was served with divorce papers last Friday after Von Teese filed them on Dec. 29, is said to be dating 19-year-old actress Evan Rachel Wood. The two have apparently been friends since he asked her to appear in his forthcoming horror movie, Phantasmagoria: The Visions Of Lewis Carroll, but their relationship had recently blossomed into something more, according to People.

"Dita is heartbroken, she didn't see this coming," an unnamed source told the magazine. "His partying contributed to the split as well."

Wood was one of the guests at the opening of Manson's Hollywood art gallery, the Celebritarian Corporation Gallery Of Fine Art, last Halloween. She arrived in vampire regalia to find a portrait of herself that Manson had painted hanging on a wall.

"It came as kind of a shock," Wood said on Manson's website of the painting. "I was beyond flattered."

The New York Post also used an unnamed source, who talked about Manson's exuberant socializing with a circle of friends that includes actress/singer Lindsay Lohan (who had her appendix removed last Thursday but was spotted dancing with +44 drummer Travis Barker at a West Hollywood party until 5 a.m. on Saturday), to try and provide more insight into the split with his wife.

"Lindsay Lohan was ringing up the house wanting to come round and party with him. The phone would go all through the night, with people constantly turning up to hang out."

While Manson and Von Teese have no children, a nasty custody battle could be brewing over their pets. She took their cats Lily and Aleister and daschunds Greta and Eva with her when she moved out of their house before Christmas.

"They are fighting over custody of the cats — not so much the dogs," a source told the Post.
