Marilyn Manson In Germany

We're not quite sure which part of this story is the weirdest bit--you decide. First, it turns out that scary rockstar Marilyn Manson paints watercolors, enough of them to create an exhibition that opened in a Cologne gallery this week. (Of course, these are no pretty landscape watercolors, but if you must see them, check the Brigitte Schenk Gallery).

Second, Manson decided to visit the towering Cologne Cathedral, as any sensible tourist would do--it's really something. But the staff wouldn't let him in. He claims it wasn't because they recognized him, but simply they objected to his lipstick. So the joke going round? Goths can't enter Gothic cathedrals.
