Marilyn Manson Is Thinking of Starting a Family

It’s funny how some artists just can’t seem to escape baby rumors and the dreaded bump watch for any signs of pregnancy.  In fact, some celebrities have even complained about how frustrating it is (and sometimes damaging to their relationships or image) to have the world speculating about when they should make that transition into parenthood.  It’s true, it is a deeply personal decision (and sometimes it’s a surprise!) and we really have no business even thinking about that part of their lives.

Then there are celebrities who you NEVER think of in that way.  It’s like the way they portray themselves as an artist is so overwhelming that it is the only reality that could possibly exist.  Surely, they don’t eat, drink, sleep and shop like the rest of us, right? 

A perfect example of this is Marilyn Manson.  Have you ever thought of him up all night with a crying baby, shoulder covered in spit up and checking for a poopy diaper?  Yeah, me neither but apparently he’s been mulling it over.

The Goth singer recently explained: "My girlfriend Lindsay's twin just had a baby and I've started to think that maybe I wouldn't mind passing my demented genius on to some small thing who can set fire and breathe profanity."

Well, that’s not exactly the dream most fathers have for their children but Manson has never shied away from being himself.

Oddly enough, though, is that he has also revealed how close he is to Johnny Depp who he says is “like a brother to me.”  He goes on to say "we have matching tattoos on our backs – Charles Baudelaire, the flowers of evil, this giant skeleton thing.  It's kind of a secret. People say to us, 'Why did you get that?' And we say, 'No reason.' "

Interesting.
