Some of Marilyn Manson’s pals aren’t so happy about his rumored relationship with 19-year-old actress Evan Rachel Wood, PEOPLE reports in its new issue.

“It’s like he’s having a midlife crisis,” says a source close to Manson, 38, and estranged wife Dita Von Teese, 34. “He’s with a younger version of Dita.”

The friend points out that Wood, who was last seen in public with Manson at his birthday party on Jan. 5, “has her hair and makeup done like Dita.”

Meanwhile, there’s one sign that it’s getting serious between the pair: For his 38th birthday, Wood “gave him a live scorpion in a cage,” a source at the goth rocker’s party tells PEOPLE.

Von Teese filed for divorce from Manson on Dec. 29.

A rep for Wood would not confirm the romance with Manson. The rocker’s rep declined comment.

Okay, if that’s HIS excuse, then what’s HERS?

Rocker Marilyn Manson is romantically involved with 19-year-old actress Evan Rachel Wood, sources close to the situation tell PEOPLE.

The sources say his relationship with the Thirteen actress was a factor in the Dec. 29 divorce filing by Dita Von Teese, 34, Manson’s wife of one year.

“Dita is heartbroken, she didn’t see this coming,” says a source close to the burlesque dancer and MAC cosmetics model. “His partying contributed to the split as well.”

Manson, 38, and Wood have been friends for some time. According to his official website, Manson first met Wood when he asked her to be in his upcoming horror film, Phantasmagoria: The Visions of Lewis Carroll.

In addition, she posed for a watercolor that he painted, and attended the opening of his new Hollywood art gallery, the Celebritarian Corporation Gallery of Fine Art, last Halloween.

“It came as kind of a shock,” Wood told Rolling Stone about being asked to pose. “I was beyond flattered.”

Manson, who is currently in Paris, was unavailable for comment. A rep for Wood would not confirm the relationship. A spokeswoman for Von Teese did not return calls for comment.

That’s just so wrong, on so many levels.

Dita Von Teese allegedly split from husband Marilyn Manson because she was sick of his constant partying and friendship with Lindsay Lohan. The burlesque dancer filed for divorce from the goth rocker last Friday citing “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for the split.

Now it has been revealed that Dita, who moved out of the couple’s house before Christmas, decided to walk away from the marriage after growing tired of Manson’s late night parties and refusal to settle down and start a family.

A source close to Dita told The Sun newspaper: “She just had enough of his wild partying. Lindsay Lohan was ringing up the house wanting to come round and party with him. The phone would go all through the night, with people constantly turning up to hang out. Dita wants a quieter life and to have a baby. She told Manson to sort himself out or she was leaving. Unfortunately, nothing changed and he didn’t clean up his act.”

It has also been alleged that Manson – real name Brian Warner – had become paranoid from drug use during the pair’s marriage. The source added: “He became paranoid as a result of the drugs he was taking. At one stage he thought the cleaner was trying to kill him.”

The couple married in a gothic-style ceremony at an Irish castle in 2005. They have two cats, Lily and Aleister, and two dachshunds, Greta and Eva, together.

Just one year after shock rocker Marilyn Manson took burlesque dancer Dita Von Teese to be his gothly wedded bride, Dita wants out.

TMZ has obtained divorce papers filed by Von Teese, real name Heather Sweet, in Los Angeles Superior Court. In the documents, Von Teese cites irreconcilable differences as the reason for kicking the King of Goth Rock, real name Brian Warner, to the curb. According to Sweet, the couple called it quits on Christmas Eve. Goth humbug!

While the papers were filed on December 29, a source close to the couple tells Page Six that Manson has been in the dark on the split, because Von Teese can’t get in touch with the guy. “She tried to tell him she was divorcing him, but she can’t even get him on the phone.” Page Six also claims that Manson’s alcohol use may have oiled up the breakup.

Manson and Von Teese had a star-studded wedding ceremony in Ireland in December of 2005. Keanu Reeves, Lisa Maria Presley and Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne were among the guests.
