Marilyn Manson and Dita Von Teese File For Divorce

A New Year and a new start for this celebrity couple, Marilyn Manson and Dita Von Teese have gone their separate ways.

After just over a year of marriage, Dita has filed for divorce from Marilyn, according to court documents obtained by People Magazine.

In her papers, which were filed on 29th December 2006, Dita cites "irreconcilable differences" as the reason for the split.

The couple's date of separation is listed as the 24th December 2006.

According to the papers, Dita is not making any claims for spousal support.

This coupling had all the ingredients of a happy marriage, they'd known each other for more than five minutes.

Marilyn (whose real name is Brian Warner) and Dita (born Heather Sweet) began dating on his 32nd birthday in January 2001.

The couple wed in Ireland in a non-denominational ceremony in December 2005, before 60 friends and family members.

"Everyone expected Manson and Dita to have some sort of crazy vampire wedding, but anyone who knows the couple knew it would be the classy, stylish affair that it was," a wedding guest told People at the time.
