MARILYN MANSON Pushes The Envelope To The Extreme & Collaborates With Avril Lavigne!

Shock rocker Marilyn Manson has really shocked all of us this time around! Get this: Manson has collaborated with Avril Lavigne on a song that will be part of her fifth studio album. This news is more shocking than when he announced that he is the NEW face of Saint Laurent (a luxury fashion house).

"The record's really diverse," Lavigne told Billboard.com. "We've got these pop-rock tunes, and then these piano ballads with orchestras.

"I have a heavier song that Marilyn Manson's on called 'Bad Girl', and then I've got a song called 'Hello Kitty' that sounds like nothing I've done before."

Dear Marilyn Manson, what were you thinking? Perhaps Lavigne offered him a lifetime supply of Absynth? Or does Manson not care about his credibility?

At least Manson will be teaming up with Alice Cooper for the "Masters of Madness" tour June 1 through 28.

Here is the initial list of tour dates:

• 06/04 - Salt Lake City, UT - USANA Amphitheater
• 06/23 - Pittsburgh, PA - Stage AE
• 06/25 - St. Charles, MO - Family Arena
• 06/28 - Rockford, IL - TBA

MARILYN MANSON = The NEW Face Of Saint Laurent?

This is pretty cool and twisted. It has been confirmed by Saint Laurent (a luxury fashion house) that shock rocker Marilyn Manson is the NEW face of the companies ad campaign. Below is a close-up shot of Manson in thick eyeliner, black lipstick and a shiny leather jacket.

Scene editor Peter Davis posted on Facebook: "Marilyn Manson in the new Saint Laurent ads. Thoughts?" On Instagram, Nicola Formichetti wrote simple, "Amazing." The campaign is expected to start soon. So ladies, don't get scared when you see a mug of Manson on a huge ad.

Don't forget that Marilyn Manson will be teaming up with Alice Cooper for the "Masters of Madness" tour June 1 through 28.

Here is the initial list of tour dates:
