bloody sex. [

Today is the 10th anniversary of the Columbine shootings. I was curious to see if there were any tribute-style YouTube clips about the event, since it did take place before the advent of widespread online video. Surprisingly, there are quite a few; more surprisingly, most are not altogether different from the graduation montages I looked at a little while back. Both are sort of sad, wistful, and nostalgic, and accompanied by very similar tunes–but instead of fun in the sun, you get pictures of horror and loss and death. But then they take an odd turn. Let’s take a look. More »

A few news items that you might have missed while sleeping off your cranberry-sauce-and-stuffing coma:
• Ne-Yo is going to bring his grown sexiness to the next Marilyn Manson album. [Hollywood Insider]
• There’s a Grammy Museum opening! It’ll be like a Hard Rock Cafe, except more self-important and with fewer franchises. [Variety]
• The latest ’90s band to have reunion rumors swirl around it: Faith No More. Don’t mess with my heart, you guys. [Blabbermotuh]
• And finally, lots of American breakfast tables were no doubt filled with confusing conversations about “this Internet thing” as Rick Astley came out to lipsync “Never Gonna Give You Up” during the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, much to the delight of the Foster’s Home For Imaginary Friends cast. Clip after the jump.

Marilyn Manson announced last night that he’d hired a new guitar player for his band, and that man is Wes Borland, late of Limp Bizkit and Black Light Burns. And from the way Manson referred to Borland’s previous musical exploits in the announcement, I wouldn’t expect Fred Durst to be invited backstage to any upcoming shows: “He used to be in a really terrible band that he left because he felt that it was a destructive force in art, and he has his own band, Black Light Burns, but now he is in Marilyn Manson,” Manson told a press assemblage in Seoul. “We don’t know how permanent that is, but starting tomorrow will be the first step. So this will be the most indestructible Marilyn Manson.” It can’t even be stopped by a horde of red-baseball-cap-wearing angry dudes, or even by people who think that Manson’s schtick is pretty tired by this point! Clip of Manson’s press conference after the jump.

When an audience member recently flung a bottle at Marilyn Manson during a gig, beaning his bassist in the process, MM took great pains not to repeat the error of the recently indicted Akon. (Who, as you may recall, dealt with a similar bottle-thrower last summer by pulling him onto the stage and then ejecting him onto the concrete, earning Akon a misdemeanor harrassment charge.) Why the caution? Because someone was filming the incident on a cell phone, of course!

Remember a few months back when Stephen “Madonna Wayne Gacy” Bier, possibly better known to you as Marilyn Manson’s ex-keyboardist, sued Manson for skimming band profits to buy knickknacks like “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, and another skeleton of a man in a wheelchair”? As it turns out, Manson and his girlfriend spent a lot of weekends antiquing, because Bier’s amended his complaint with more “transgressive” home furnishings.

Marilyn Manson’s old keyboard buddy, Madonna Wayne Gacy, recently hit the gaunt cradle robber and former rock star with a breach-of-contract lawsuit, complaining that Manson had been skimming profits rightly owed to the band to buy stuff that makes Elephant Man-era Michael Jackson look like a quaint collector of roadside folk art:
