Dita and Manson were married Dec. 3 in the Irish castle of their friend, Austrian artist Gottfried Helnwein. She wore a purple Vivienne Westwood gown and tricorn hat by Stephen Jones; he wore a black taffeta and velvet tuxedo by John Galliano. Guests were invited to participate in skeet shooting, archery and falconry in the days after the wedding. ...

DVT: I'm in London. Manson and I got married last weekend in Ireland. Our friend, the artist Gottfried Helnwein, has a castle there, which is where we had the wedding.
SP: [laughs] Did you have fun? Was it great?
DVT: I had the time of my life. I think we both did.
SP: What did you wear?
DVT: I wore a giant purple silk-and-grosgrain taffeta dress by Vivienne Westwood and a Mr. Pearl corset. I also wore a little tricorn hat from Stephen Jones. I didn't want a white wedding or a Gothic wedding. It was somewhere in between-just beautiful, rich colors everywhere. ...

"Provokateur", "Schockkünstler": Sein "altes" Image hat Gottfried Helnwein in Österreich nicht richtig ablegen können, seit er das Land vor 20 Jahren verlassen hat. Nun widmet das Linzer Kunstmuseum Lentos dem Kunststar, der in Los Angeles und Irland lebt, eine umfassende Werkschau - und bietet damit die Gelegenheit, einen neuen Blick auf Helnwein zu werfen. ...

Creo que hacer la revolución socialista para curarse de una enfermedad psíquica es, por un lado, legítimo, pero por otro, algo descabellado y extraordinario, casi una enunciación poética. A partir de este principio de poesía de la enfermedad (lo normal contra lo anormal), es que se construyó el material, tomando elementos de inspiración de la poesía de Antonin Artaud, imágenes visuales del plástico austríaco Gotfried Helnwein, y otras. ...

In one Gottfried Helnwein painting, a child sits slumped at the foot of her bed, her expression strangely blank given the other figure in the bare room — a ghostly, uniformed bunny standing at attention like something out of a nightmarish Nutcracker (or, given the rabbit’s creepy saucer-wide eyes, Donnie Darko). In another, the girl dozes as a Mad Hatter–ish beast, outfitted entirely in yellow, reaches out to scoop her up. Although children wounded both physically and psychologically have appeared in Helnwein's work since the early '70s - earning him no small measure of controversy.. ...

看起來不太可能會結婚的怪怪搖滾客瑪莉蓮曼森（Marilyn Manson）上週還真的舉行了結婚典禮，告別單身生涯。以嚇人的裝扮和音樂聞名的瑪莉蓮曼森上週六在愛爾蘭和他交往五年多的脫衣舞孃女友Dita Von Teese一起交換了結婚戒指，正式結為夫妻。這對怪怪夫妻的婚禮也很另類，他們沒有遵循任何宗教儀式，瑪莉蓮請來他的一位智利籍地下電影導演好友 Alejandro Jodorowsky來為他們證婚，婚禮舉行地點則選在曼森夫婦的奧地利另類藝術家好友Gottfried Helnwein在愛爾蘭的住處。整場婚禮十分低調，只有兩位新人相當親近的好友受邀到場觀禮，正如瑪莉蓮在之前接受訪問時所說的：「我的婚禮一定會很低調，因為婚禮的重點不在於熱鬧，我不想利用婚禮來增加我的曝光度。我希望我的婚禮是有意義的，而且會讓我們永難忘懷－不過永難忘懷可能有點難，因為到時候你可能已經喝醉了，不會記得什麼細節。」
瑪莉蓮在一年多前就向Dita求婚，Dita考慮了一年才答應瑪莉蓮，但是她還是不准瑪莉蓮參加告別單身派對。「她說的也是有理啦，」瑪莉蓮解釋道，「她說：『你在告別單身派對上能幹嘛？喝個酩酊大醉然後看小姐跳脫衣舞？那我每天都在跳，你看我就好了啊！』」 ...

Some of the world's most renowned horror writers have been Irish so we suppose there must be something spooky about this fair land when the lights go out? Marilyn chose Gottfried Helnwein’s Castle Gurteen Le Poer in Co. Tipperary to exchange vows with his blushing bride. ...

Es war wohl eine der schillerndsten Hochzeiten des Jahres: Dita von Teese (bürgerlicher Name: Heather Sweet) und Marilyn Manson (bürgerlicher name: Brian Warner) haben am 3.12. im Castle Gurteen de La Poer in der Grafschaft Tipperary in Irland, geheiratet. Wäre die Hochzeit verfilmt worden, hätte sie wohl den klingenden Titel: "Das Nacktmodell und der Antichrist" getragen. ...

London - You'd expect Marilyn Manson's wedding to be a headline-grabbing, shock gothic circus of an event. Instead, his wedding to girlfriend Dita Von Teese was a fairytale set in an Irish castle - although he couldn't resist wearing black. Some 60 guests, including Lisa Marie Presley, attended the bash at Castle Gurteen in County Tipperary - home of the Mansons' friend, artist Gottfried Helnwein. Marilyn wore a John Galliano-designed black silk taffeta tux, and Dita a purple taffeta Vivienne Westwood gown with train, petticoats, a tricorn hat and a corset - what else from a burlesque performer? ...

The multi-day event — held at de La Poer Castle, County Tipperary, Ireland, home of the couple's friend, controversial Austrian artist Gottfried Helnwein — included a non-denominational ceremony performed by Chilean underground film director (and Manson friend) Alejandro Jodorowsky, and the bride and groom exchanged personal vows. Manson and Jodorowsky, who directed "Santa Sangre," had been working together on a movie called "Abelcain," a project that has been suspended for the time being. ...
