EPA/ROBERT GHEMENTFormer Marilyn Manson and the Spooky Kids keyboardist, Stephen Bier, claims Manson gave his lover Evan Rachel Wood the "highest salary ever paid to any actress in any music video in history" for starring in his 'Heart Shaped Glasses' music promo. Bier's lawyer Keith Fink filed the complaint at Los Angeles' Superior Court yesterday (21.11.07).In addition, Manson, whose real name is Brian Warner, allegedly paid tour crew massive amounts to transport his unique 'Alice in Wonderland' books, because he is so obsessed with author Lewis Carroll.The 38-year-old rocker will star as Carroll in his own film version of the children's novels, 'Phantasmagoria: The Visions of Lewis Carroll', which he is also writing and directing.In August, Manson's bandmates accused him of spending the band's earnings on "sick and disturbing purchases".Among the items were African masks made of human skin, a skeleton of a disabled man in a wheelchair, and the skeleton of a four-year-old Chinese girl which he turned into a chandelier - all of which are illegal in America.(C) BANG Media International
