Marilyn's New Flame?

Marilyn MansonJust when you thought you've seen and heard it all, shock-rocker Marilyn Manson does it again... apparently.

This time it's about a rumoured hook-up involving the rock star and a young actress.

Marilyn, 38, is meant to be now romantically involved with 19-year-old actress Evan Rachel Wood, sources close to the situation have told People Magazine.

The news comes just over a month after Marilyn and 34-year-old burlesque dancer Dita Von Teese separated.

In fact, according to the sources, Marilyn's relationship with the Thirteen actress was a factor in the divorce filed by Dita.

A source close to Dita told People mag: "Dita is heartbroken, she didn't see this coming... His partying contributed to the split as well."

Evan Rachel WoodMarilyn, whose real name is Brian Warner, has been friends with Evan for some time now.

According to the rocker's official website, Marilyn first met Evan when he asked her to appear in his upcoming horror film, Phantasmagoria: The Visions of Lewis Carroll.

But that's not all...

Evan even posed for a watercolour portrait Marilyn painted himself... and also attended the opening of his new Hollywood art gallery - the Celebritarian Corporation Gallery of Fine Art - last Halloween.

Evan told Rolling Stone about the portrait: "It came as kind of a shock... I was beyond flattered."

Of course, there has been no official word about this alleged new romance - so until then, out with the pinch of salt.
