Marilyn Manson is blaming his recent divorce on his wife's insistence that he become a "responsible adult." The 38-year-old androgynous rocker, known for his guttural singing style, corpse-like make-up, and prosthetic-breast stage costumes, says that after he married Dita Von Teese, she told him she had "tolerated my lifestyle because she hoped I would change. She threatened to leave if I didn't." He immediately sunk into a depression. "I was no longer supposed to be a rock star. I was someone who had to be apologized for."
