Yesterday’s publication of Nicki Minaj‘s tour rider prompted many people to brand her an overly demanding diva, but I think it’s actually quite reasonable, especially for one of the highest grossing entertainers in the world. Between the scrambled egg whites, fruit plates, meat plates, fried chicken, salad, and silverware with which to eat it all, it seems like most of Ms. Minaj’s requests are a.) relatively inexpensive and easy to obtain, and b.) things she and her friends are actually going to use and/or consume. She’s certainly lower-maintenance than some of her peers. Here are ten tour rider requests much more extreme than Nicki Minaj’s. More »
According to a press release sent out yesterday by HarperCollins Publishers, their imprint William Morrow is slated to publish “the definitive memoir and tell-all by controversial rock star and actress, Courtney Love.” This gets me excited for all kinds of reasons, not the least of which is that, as a lifelong Hole fan, I’m genuinely interested in Courtney Love’s life story and how she decides to tell it. But as a gossip blogger, I’m also pretty excited to see who she’s going to reveal all sorts of unflattering personal shit about, because nobody talks trash as candidly and entertainingly as she does. Will it be Trent Reznor? Ed Norton? Billy Corgan? Here are some possibilities. More »
Defying logic and a nearly twenty-year age-difference, Amber Tamblyn and David Cross announced their engagement yesterday. We knew they’d been dating because of what a strange pair they were — the snarky girl from Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants and Tobias from Arrested Development — but we sorta figured they’d broken up by now.
The fact that they’re engaged puts these guys at the front of the list of couples that make you think “How did they even meet?” and “She’s with him?” (And on some occasions, “He’s with her?”) Adding to the novelty of the situation is the fact that many of these strange pairings have quite the age difference.

Lionsgate continues to confound us with its casting choices for the March 2012 adaptation of The Hunger Games. Since this epic story comes to us in a book, each of the thousands of readers has a specific view of what each character should look like, yet you would think that there would be enough similarity for an actor to satisfy most fans. But instead, the movie’s casting directors seem to have chosen actors — Jennifer Lawrence, Liam Hemsworth, Josh Hutcherson — who look the complete opposite from their characters’ physical descriptions. We’ve decided to help out and provide actors who may have the chops to play these characters, but look nothing like them. More »
Evan Rachel Wood graced the cover of November’s Nylon sporting a leather jacket and bright red hair. The 23-year-old actress discussed playing sexy roles, her desire to star as Janis Joplin and her ex-fiance Marilyn Manson. About the shock rocker, Evan said:
“He had a hand in raising me! Oh, I’m always gonna love that guy. He’s a genius, he’s an amazing artist, we’re still friends. Some things just aren’t meant to be.” More »

Irrelevant goth rocker Marilyn Manson and True Blood‘s queen Sophie-Anne Evan Rachel Wood have called off their engagement. It’s sad, but probably for the best…the singer was twice her immortal age. But we have to wonder if Evan’s reappearance on the HBO show had anything to do with the duo’s break-up. More »
Who knew that Marilyn Manson was such a big John Locke fan? I mean, it looks like something out of Scary Stories to Tell In The Dark, but it’s always nice to know that behind that creepy exterior, Manson goes home to Evan Rachel Wood every night and makes sure his TiVo recorded this week’s episode of Lost, just like the rest of us. And then you put up your drawings on Facebook. Adorbs. (via Vulture)… More »

Well, THIS had to be awkward! Marilyn Manson was having a little bit of a meet and greet in Germany, and a fan keeps trying to get his attention. Marilyn is nice enough to bring him up to the front and shake his hand, and the guy gives him a hug and rips off his hat – pulling off his wig in the process. Watch:
I’m not the biggest fan of Marilyn, but I felt badly for him – that fan… More »
O hai there Snarky fans! How are you on this fine Thursday. Lil Kim there says hello…she also wants you to know that she’s wearing about $10K worth of wintery gear on her back. Just so you know. And amazingly, she still looks trashy…could it be those huge eyebrows? The big, badly drawn eyebrows? How do you even look in the mirror and think those are okay?
Anyway, let’s get to the gossip, because there is a LOT. First, Forbes… More »
Surprise, surprise! Shock rocker Marilyn Manson apparently buys REALLY WEIRD CRAP with his buttloads of money. And this is a surprise in what way? I mean, DUH. The man thrives on this kind of junk.
Apparently his bandmates are all pissed off because he’s buying stuff like the following:
African masks made of human skin
a full skeleton of a 4-year-old Chinese girl that Manson is said to have turned into a chandelier
another skeleton of a man in a wheelchair
swastika wall tiles

Oh, that crazy Marilyn. Always up to mischief. So naughty!
Any fan of goth-rocker Marilyn Manson knows he has bit of an obession with all things macabre, so no one should be surprised he’s come out with his own brand of absinthe liquor, an adult beverage that has been long vilified as something that when taken in excess can kill you.
According Rolling Stone’s Web site, Manson recently introduced his own brand of the controversial cocktail, called Mansithe, after working with a… More »

For the first time, I kinda like this girl!!!
I think people really get off on seeing someone fail. No one is waiting for me to say something smart. An actress is stupid—that’s the best news. It’s on CNN. People tell me I’m immature, and Britney’s crotch is on CNN. Who the hell is immature?
