Evan Rachel Wood Goes from Marilyn to Mickey

If you thought the staggeringly talented Evan Rachel Wood couldn't date anyone more bizarre than Marilyn Manson you are (un)dead wrong.

Evan Rachel Wood dumped Goth, pale-faced, rocker Manson for freaky, tangerine-faced thespian-slash-pugilist-slash-thespian Mickey Rourke. It seems that they got romantically entangled on the set of their movie The Wrester, which won The Venice Film Festival's Golden Lion.

Their relation went public, almost, Saturday night in Las Vegas when Rourke attended the 3-year anniversary party of Tao Restaurant at The Venetian Hotel. Wood decided to stay in the room, rather than draw attention to their new romance.

After all, the corpse of her old relationship was bearly cold before she started cozying up to this other corpse. I really don’t know what kind of magical pixie dust exists on movie sets, from which countless mismatched celebrity couples are created (Hello Courtney and David), but I have to assume there was a shitload on this production.

Oh well, they say love is blind, and I say, it’d have to be. Good luck to you crazy kids (seriously, they're crazy). I’m sure this time it's for keeps.

Jeezus, it looks like she's kissing her creepy uncle.

Me thinks that Evan Rachel Wood has some serious daddy issues. Some seriously fucked up daddy issues. What kind of daddy could be so completely nutso that Marilyn Manson and Mickey Rourke would make good subsitutes????

[Suzy Q]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

[blissfully caffeinated]

There is something seriously wrong with that girl.

I'm pretty sure than ERW is about my age, but even the craziest of my friends aren't willing to date people as utterly wrong for them as Marilyn Manson and Mickey Rourke are for her.

[Gray Matter]

Clearly, anna, your mother raised you properly. Kudos.

[Peeved Michelle]

Her parents must be so proud.

Well, he worked for "Goldie" in Sin City! Maybe she thinks someone is out to kill her? LOL!

[Diane]

FWIW, their publicists are denying this rumor. How sad is it for her that it's believable? (shudder)

[sweetney]

umm, i kind of hate it when people say "i just threw up a little in my mouth", but oh my god, i just threw up a little in my mouth.

I'm just waiting for a certain someone's reaction to this one..

On another note.. maybe we're just being judgemental.. Maybe Mickey is a helluva guy, and Marilyn is just a sweetheart.

And maybe Billy Bob is just a great conversationalist.

Who are we to judge?

[Sils]

I'm going to go rock in a corner until someone disproves this.

Where was the pixie dust while she was filming Across the Universe with Jim Sturgess? Hello? Did she lose all of her brain cells?

I never thought Marilyn Manson would be my first choice, but although he makes me gag, he's way better than Rourke. Gross!

I think this makes Wood a bit more interesting than the usual run of actresses who date baseball players and androgynous pretty boys. Rourke is one ugly, ugly man, but he's got a history and he probably has more to say than Zac Efron. For example, he could tell her how he replaced his skin with tangerine rind.

Palinode! ROTFLMAO!!!!

"For example, he could tell her how he replaced his skin with tangerine rind."

He used to be not un-attractive back in the day of 9 1/2 Weeks. WTF happened to him?!?

aside: have you been reading about "The Wrestler" though? Sounds pretty incredible. (Which is not an adequate excuse re entangling your life with the Rourke.)
