The personification of macabre arrives in the form of gothic guru Marilyn Manson in a freak-show concert of black-fueled nightmares at the Pearl in The Palms.

The black-eye-shadowed red-lipsticked pancake-powdered musician is here promoting his sixth album titled with a macabre message, “Eat Me, Drink Me.” Manson this year abandoned his seven-year long-term relationship but short-lived marriage with sexy- striptease goddess of burlesque, Dita Von Teese. They have been hurling darts and daggers back and forth while he took up with 19-year-old model actress, Rachel Word. She will be with him here in Vegas. She’s featured in his recent video for “Heart Shaped Glasses” and will appear in his new Phantasmagoria movie.

As morbid as he looks, I once had dinner with him in a West Hollywood restaurant and found him, as the former Brian Warner, to be a quiet well-spoken normal Ohio individual, bewildered by all the attacks hurled at him from religious groups and conservative politicians. His dark and demonic after-party will be held atop the Fantasy Tower in the MOON nightclub. Where is Alice Cooper this year?
