Either Marilyn Manson has a type, or his new girlfriend, Evan Rachel Wood, is a little Single White Female when it comes to his ex, Dita Von Teese. Scary! [Thanks to DListed for pointing this out!]

Last week, we discussed who gets the ring if an engagement is broken off. But what do you do with the ring if you get to keep it? It’s not like you can wear it on another finger—engagement rings are just a little too distinctive-looking. Well, Dita Von Teese took her diamond from former husband Marilyn Manson and had Christian Dior make it into an even more gorgeous ring. “It’s nice; it’s big. I feel like I suffered greatly for that diamond, and it needed to be reborn into something better.” [NY Times]

Dita Von Teese has been recruited by Wonderbra to design vintage-style underthings, including a limited-edition bra for Victoria’s Secret. [AHN]

Ever wonder why a box of Raisinets costs, like, $5 at the movie theater when you can get them for $2 at a convenience store? Well, charging so much on snacks is what keeps the price of movie tickets down, according to researchers at the University of California Santa Cruz and Stanford University. If popcorn were free, ticket prices would go up 25 percent. And at that price, we would all buy the DVD and microwave popcorn and stay at home—at least our cuddling wouldn’t be hindered by annoying armrests. [San Jose Mercury News]

A classical music ensemble will be performing “Sex Music” in NYC next Friday, March 7. The musicians will explore music’s erotic side with songs such as Salome’s “Dance of the Seven Veils” and Frank Zappa’s “G-Spot Tornado.” At one point, the solo bassist will even sing, hum, and whisper to his instrument. Hot. [City Guide]

 

Dita Von Teese is incredibly awesome. The burlesque performer worried us slightly when she went and married Marilyn Manson—he’s an extremely intelligent guy, but dang, is he scary—but now that she’s single and ready to mingle, she’s really been rockin’ the sex appeal. And with her clothes on! Here she is at the Vienna Opera Ball, sporting some serious couture. Divorce from a washed up goth rocker has never looked so good. Photo Courtesy Of AP

Burlesque star and Marilyn Manson’s ex-wife Dita Von Teese is the new face (and body, obvi) of Frederick’s of Hollywood’s Holiday Collection. We expected Dita, who writhes around in a giant cocktail glass during her act, to class up the joint, but even she can’t fight the flurry of maribu feathers and crotchless thongs. All in all, this is a great place to shop for Christmas gifts for the girl who has everything…except prostitute panties. [Frederick’s of Hollywood]
