Marilyn Manson & Madonna Wayne Gacy Settle Lawsuit (Trent Reznor & Von Teese Spared Testimony)

In one of our first posts, we reported that shock-gother Marilyn Manson was set to reunite (sorta) with both ex-collaborator/friend Trent Reznor and ex-wife Dita Von Teese in a court of law amid a lawsuit filed by former keyboardist Stephen Bier, aka Madonna Wayne Gacy.

According to Southern California Public Radio (via these rockers), the pair have settled out of court over the alleged misappropriated purchase of Nazi paraphernalia, ex-wife Dita Von Teese’s engagement ring, a stuffed grizzly bear, a pair of baboons, and the skeleton of a 4-year-old Chinese girl.

Meanwhile, Manson has taken to his MySpace page for a couple rants about the settlement and “the person that stood behind a keyboard—pretending to play music other artists in this band wrote.”
