Marilyn Manson’s concert promoters Live Nation have announced that despite the rocker revealing he ‘Had swine flu’, he actually hasn’t.

As reported last, week Manson wrote on his Facebook that he had been ‘Officially diagnosed’ with the virus.

“So I have officially been diagnosed, by a real doctor, with THE SWINE FLU.” Manson wrote.

“I know everyone will suggest that f**king a pig is how this disease was obtained. However, the doctor said, my past choices in women have, in ‘no way’ contributed to… me acquiring this mysterious sickness. Unfortunately, I am going to survive. M.”

However, now promoters for Manson’s Canadian tour have denied the rocker has contracted the illness.

“The Gillett Entertainment Group and Live Nation confirmed today that contrary to rumours circulating, Marilyn Manson is not suffering from swine flu.” The statement said.

Manson’s online posts which said he had the virus have now been removed.

Marilyn Manson took to his Facebook Page today to announce that he has been diagnosed with the swine flu.  Insert joke here.

So I have officially been diagnosed, by a real doctor, with THE SWINE FLU. I know everyone will suggest that f***ing a pig is how this disease was obtained. However, the doctor said, my past choices in women have, in “no way” contributed to… me acquiring this mysterious sickness. Unfortunately, I am going to survive. M

The shock-rocker recently took to his MySpace blog to bash journalists who take issue with him, his band or his music.

“If one more ‘journalist’ makes a cavalier statement about me and my band, I will personally or with my fans’ help, greet them at their home and discover just how much they believe in their freedom of speech,” Manson warns. “I dare you all to write one more thing that you won’t say to my face. Because I will make you say it. In that manner. That is a threat.”

Manson’s edict is in response to an interview Buddyhead.com founder Travis Keller did with LA Weekly where he suggested that Manson is a paranoid cocaine addict who is nothing like his onstage goth persona.

Back in 1998, Manson, whom we couldn’t reach, was accused of inviting Spin executive editor Craig Marks backstage to a concert and then assaulting him, but Marks later dropped the charges.

Yikes!

Shock rocker Marilyn Manson leaves Hollywood hotspot Katsuya on May 12, 2009 with Isani Griffith (she’s a 25 year old model). Despite reports that Manson had reunited with ex-flame Evan Rachel Wood, it appears that Manson and Griffith are still very much together.

Well, I guess Marilyn Manson definitely has a “type”! First there was the original, Dita - then came Dita lookalike #1 Evan Rachel Wood, and now a mystery lady.

Here he is with his new gal in Miami last night.  No clue who she is, but we all know who she looks like!

Despite splitting with Marilyn Manson, Evan Rachel Wood says the rocker still holds a place in her heart.

“I’m always going to love him and respect him,” she told Usmagazine.com Sunday at Hollywood Life’s Behind the Camera Awards in Hollywood.

Asked how she is feeling, she told reporters, “I’m doing fine, you know, as best as can be expected.”

She denied reports that they called it quits after Manson kicked her brother Ira out of his guest house.

“You know, it’s not the nasty thing everybody thinks it is,” she said. “We’ve both got incredible things going on right now. He’s making an amazing album - I’ve heard some of it, and he should be very proud of it.

“You know, I’ve got [the upcoming drama] The Wrestler going on, and I’m focusing on that,” she added.

Of the split, she said, “It’s not a bad thing. It’s life - it happens.

“But now, it’s like the story that comes right after the breakup [is]: Who am I dating now?” she said. “So right now, I’m just enjoying being on my own. It’s just not in the cards right now.”

She denied reports that she is romancing Mickey Rourke, her co-star in The Wrestler.

“Everybody thinks we’re dating, and we’re not. Spread the word - I’m not dating Mickey Rourke!” she said. “You know, we developed a close friendship. He’s a great guy, a talented guy. He’s been through it all, and [we had] such intense shoots, I think, because we played father and daughter [in The Wrestler]. I think he’s just kind of trying to take me under his wing.”
