Manson files motion to keep finances secret

Marilyn Manson has apparently filed a motion with Los Angeles Superior Court judge Michael L. Stern requesting that all of his financial information to be kept secret in the on going legal battle with former keyboardist, Stephen "Madonna Wayne Gacy" Bier, who filed a breach-of-contract lawsuit against Manson in August 2007.

Bier, who claims Manson spent his royalties on African masks made of human skin, a full skeleton of a 4-year-old Chinese girl that Manson is said to have turned into a chandelier and another skeleton of a man in a wheelchair, is seeking $20 million dollars in damages. Manson countersued in December claiming that Bier did not fulfil his obligations to the band.

To move to keep Manson's financial information a secret is similar to one granted to Lindsay Lohan earlier this year in her lawsuit over a 2005 traffic accident. Manson's attorneys specifically requested the Lohan treatment from Stern, who served as judge in that case, as well.

"He's trying to hide his skeletons from you all," Bier's attorney, Keith A. Fink, said.

The case continues.

WRONG

For you to sit there calling him sick in the head... its a catch 22. while you sit there commenting on a message board, about how the subject is fucked in the head, he is at least collecting art. Let me guess you think Helnwein is also fucked?

I like Manson, he's different, interesting and intelligent.

That is more than I can say for a lot of the non-entities within the entertainment industry.

Why does he deserve it? He is extremely intelligent and because he is a little different he's judged - in my opinion harshly. Do you feel the same way about Cradle of Filth? They are as kooky as Mr Manson. I also don't mean to ruffle your feathers but without some of the older bands like NIN (who found manson) do you really think you would have MCR??

$20 million is ridiculous even if manson did breach the contract, which he said he didn't.

like for fuck's sake, let him just do what he wants to do, are u so bothered by what he's purchasing? get a life.
go suck on a dick instead of a pacifier u all baby morons and shut ur mouths .
if he loves keeping dead people's skin or whatever, that's up to him. as much as anyone else has his own sick secret. the only difference is tht you people dont have paparazzi coming up ur ass or whatever. shut up about it already.
