A lawsuit against Marilyn Manson was filed earlier this afternoon in Los Angeles Superior Court.
Keyboardist Stephan Bier (a.k.a. “Madonna Wayne Gacy”) claims Manson filched millions of dollars from the band's earnings, squandering the money on his lavish lifestyle.
According to the New York Post’s Page 6, the suit claims the band’s money was spent on “sick and disturbing purchases of Nazi memorabilia and taxidermy (including a skeleton of a young Chinese girl).”

That drunken battle cry, which sounded at around 7:30 p.m. Friday, should have been warning enough. But we silly photographers stood in the aisles of the outdoor Verizon Ampitheater tinkering with our cameras without a care in the world.

There were Web sites back in 1998? Sure were! After all, that's the year Travis Keller and Aaron North started LA-based Buddyhead, the influential, infamous (Keller once sneaked into Fred Durst's office to steal red baseball caps and sell them on eBay!), shit-talking and genuinely beloved (well, probably not by Fred Durst) music site that spawned a record label of the same name.The site went dormant in 2005, and, as the Web goes, pretty much disappeared from memories as it disappeared online.

After tonight's Paramore (pictured on August 1 opening up for No Doubt at Verizon Wireless Amphitheater in Irvine) show, though, they've got...not a lot.
Chris VictorioMonday night might seem entirely too mellow to experience something like a Marilyn Manson concert. Well, if you truly believe that, you can't hang like the Grove of Anaheim crowd can, who last night took everything the shock rock icon was willing to give them.
