Marilyn Manson Needs Dita Von Teese Back

Marilyn Manson is looking for a few good friends, including his ex-wife.

E! reports that Manson, whose real name is Brian Warner, is being sued by his ex-keyboardist. The witness list released by Manson's camp has his ex-wife, Dita Von Teese, and rocker Trent Reznor on it among others, and Manson is hoping they can testify on his behalf.

Stephen Bier, whose name in Manson's band was Madonna Wayne Gacy, sued Manson last year for more than $20 million. He claims that Manson took millions of dollars that the band made and siphoned it.

Among the things Manson supposedly used the money for are drugs, Nazi paraphernalia, the interior decorating in Manson's mansion, and Von Teese's engagement ring as well as their 2005 wedding.

Manson countersued Bier in August, saying Bier was just an angry ex-bandmate. The trial is set to begin on Feb. 2. Manson and Bier are expected to take the stand, as well as their witnesses.

Reznor will discuss producing Manson's debut album on his record label, while Von Teese will talk about her marriage and personal life with Manson.

Manson's former drummer, Fred "Freddie" Streithorst, is expected to be called in order to talk about the band's situation.
