Manson Wants to Direct; Hates on Harry
Filed under: Celebrities and Controversy, Newsstand
Marilyn Manson, who was recently named an "Icon" at rock magazine Kerrang!'s
awards, has announced that he plans to leave the music biz. "But
Marilyn," you say. "Why would you leave a business that you love, and
fans that adore you?" Why, to direct, of course. Well, and to produce.
Marilyn's got big plans, apparently, though he hasn't yet offered to
share any details. It's safe to assume, though, that he will not be
directing the next Harry Potter film - it turns out that Manson has moral problems with the character. Seriously. "I
get blamed for being bad but this kid is practicing witchcraft from a
very early age which is totally unacceptable." It's totally impossible
for me to tell here if the British press are carefully ignoring the
fact that the man's tongue is firmly in his cheek, or if he's actually
upset about this. Either way, though, the thought of Marilyn Manson
curled up at home with a Harry Potter book is pretty great. Especially
when he gets upset and hurls it against the wall.

That is different from what I have heard I think that you need to get your facts strait he does have a new album out - 18 tracks ready - and he is not leaving the music biz interely, just for the time. I may be wrong but Im just saying what over 20 articles have said.

I totaly unserstand Marilyn Manson but I just wonder if Marilyn Manson has read the books or not. But I can see why he would be upset 'cause he gets blamed for stuff and Daniel Radcliffe doesn't.
