Nazi Thief?

Marilyn Manson's ex-keyboardist, Stephen "Pogo" Bier, is filing suit and claiming that Manson stole millions from the band's shared coffer. Bier alleges that Manson used the ill-gotten funds to buy, among other things, "sick and disturbing…Nazi memorabilia and taxidermy (including the skeleton of a young Chinese girl)."

According to an e-mail sent to us that was approved by Bier's lawyer, Keith Fink, Manson promised Bier "partnership proceeds" from the band in 1993, but then spluged on "a multimillion-dollar home, had a lavish wedding in Ireland, gave an engagement ring to Dita von Teese" and collected Nazi artifacts and taxidermy. When Bier asked for the "partnership proceeds," Manson "devised a campaign to drive Bier out of the band and rob him of his entitlement," the e-mail states.

In Manson's defense, Chinese baby skeletons are practically impossible to come by at a fair price, so you've got to jump on a deal if you find one, even if it means stealing from your friends.
