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.

By now all gossip addicts (and the rest of us who have to be online all day) have heard about Marilyn Manson's breakup with his burlesque superstar wife, Dita Von Teese. Sad, because that one was really meant to last. Manson reportedly left his cute 'n' classy wife for mini-Dita Evan Rachel Wood, 19, who we can only assume thinks it's
totally gonna last this time. To each their own, we guess. Whether Dita's composure during tumultuous times has inspired you to tap into the magic of burlesque yourself, or you simple want to see her in action, we've got a few suggestions.
In
Seattle, Miss Indigo Blue's
Academy of Burlesque accepts both male and female students, and promises to teach you "how to twirl your tasseled pasties in at least 5 different ways!" In
San Francisco, Bombshell Betty offers
Burlesquercise workshops that turn burlesque basics into a workout. And in
Montreal, Mademoiselle Oui Oui Encore
offers classes, available to women only, near the Mont-Royal metro stop.
If you just want to cheer Dita on, she'll be performing on February 9 and 10 at the
Triple Door in downtown Seattle.
