Marilyn Manson won’t face charges after years-long investigation into assault claims

Marilyn Manson will not face charges against Los Angeles County, according to a press release.

The musician, who is formally known as Brian Hugh Warner, was accused of domestic and sexual abuse when inquiries started looking into allegations of incidents in 2009 and 2011. However, now, prosecutors have determined that the allegations are either unsupported or beyond the scope of the statute of limitations.

According to The Guardian, Nathan Hochman, Los Angeles county district attorney, announced in a statement: “We have determined that allegations of domestic violence fall outside of the statute of limitations, and we cannot prove charges of sexual assault beyond a reasonable doubt”.

The women who came forward to report and share their experiences are commended, the attorney said, and we thank them for their cooperation and patience with the investigation.

The district attorney for Los Angeles County (AP) highlighted the “courage and resilience” of those who came forward to file allegations against the musician.

Marilyn Manson has responded to the judgement via his attorney, Howard King. In a statement released to the Daily Mail, Kind stated, “We are very pleased that the District Attorney has determined what we knew and expressed right away: Brian Warner is innocent.

Prior to this most recent announcement, the investigation seemed to be developing further. On October 9 of last year, previous district attorney, George Gascón, said that new leads were being pursued alongside their “already extensive” file against Manson.

The charges being dropped stem from a 2021 investigation, looking into claims from years prior. Manson’s West Hollywood home was subject to a search warrant, and no charges have been filed against him.

The announcement comes just days after Channel 4 aired a documentary, Marilyn Manson: Unmasked, which spoke to fans, his musical collaborators, and his former partner Evan Rachel Wood about the allegations made about him.

Evan allegedly was raped by Manson on one of his music videos in the second of two episodes. When the actress was 18 and Manson was 37, the pair started dating. She recalled wearing Lolita-inspired heart-shaped glasses to see him one day, inspiring his song Heart-Shaped Glasses, which he asked his then-girlfriend to appear in the music video of.

The actress claimed that there was tension when she first arrived on the set and that a sex scene would occur, but it didn’t happen as she had anticipated.

Peaches Geldof’s widow Thomas Cohen shares candid comment on finding love again

Following his tragic wife’s tragic passing, musician Thomas Cohen has expressed his happiness that he has found love once more.

The 33-year-old pop-punk frontman was devastated when he found Peaches dead in 2014 at the age of 25 while their 11-month-old son, Phaedra, was by her side. After Thomas became upset that Peaches was not answering her phone, he discovered her in their home in Kent, making a heartbreaking discovery.

Peaches struggled with drugs and had a two-year heroin addiction before she passed away from an unspecified overdose before her death. She was the daughter of late model Paula Yates and Boomtown Rats frontman Bob Geldof. She allegedly concealed her drug and addiction from her husband during an inquest into her death.

Thomas, who welcomed Phaedra, now aged 11, and older son Astala, now 12 – and who had been with his grandparents at the time of Peaches ‘ death – began dating model Yasmin El Yassini, 30, in 2019. He has now made an honest admission about their relationship.

From 2012 until her passing, Thomas was wed to Peaches Geldof (Getty Images for Universal Pictures).

He is quoted as saying in a rare instance in a private interview that “it’s a relief to actually be able to love someone.” Years after he revealed how he helped his sons deal with losing their mother, he made these new comments.

After losing their mother so quickly, he said in a 2016 German TV interview that “I believe the most crucial thing is to give them stability and safety.” They no longer recognize their mother as their mother. At the time, they were all just one and two years old. They are, miraculously, having happy childhoods”.

The musician has also described how he used transcendental meditation to cope with his grief recently. He said in an interview last year, per the Daily Mail: “It completely changed everything. It was incredibly profound”. He continued to say that he received “the tools to not stay in pain” as a result of meditation.

Thomas remarked in a 2016 interview with the Guardian that Peaches’ addiction issues made him more afraid of falling in love. He told the publication: “I think any time you love someone, you’re slightly scared of it.

However, it gets worse when they have addiction issues and the relationship between life and death is so constant and intertwined throughout the entire process. But that doesn’t take away from any of the experience or relationship. “

Asked if he felt scared to love his boys, he replied:” Nooooooo, they’re not scary! I believe that when I first had kids, I just knew I was very eager to love something the way you would a child.

Peaches ‘ mother, Paula Yates, also died from a heroin overdose at the age of 41 in 2000. She was also mother to 41-year-old Fifi and 34-year-old Pixie Geldof, who she welcomed with Bob, and 28-year-old daughter Heavenly Hiraani Tiger Lily, who she shared with late INXS singer Michael Hutchence – who died aged 37 in 1997.

Max George gives health update as he shares glimpse into tough recovery from surgery

Max George, the star of The Wanted, has provided an update on his agonizing recovery from heart surgery.

Max was relegated to bed a month ago, but he now showed on his Instagram Stories that he is back on his feet and recovering from a full recovery. In his first post, he shared a clip of himself walking on a treadmill. The musician sat down and appeared to be wearing compression socks in addition to his loose shorts and tee. He shot his followers a huge smile as he turned the camera on his face and pumped his fist in the air.

In the next shot, Max revealed what had him so happy. His Apple watch showed his stats from the walk, showing that he’d been moving for over 70 minutes. The X Factor star had covered 5.04km in his walk, and had a 117 bpm, after previously facing scary issues with his heart.

Max revealed that after spending weeks in hospital over Christmas, he was now able to complete a 5km walk (maxgeorge/Instagram)

Max was rushed to A&amp, E by his mum last month, concerned that something was wrong with his heart. In the end, the musician was correct, and he had a pacemaker fitted in a two-and-a-half hour operation after spending several weeks in the hospital. Thankfully, after the successful surgery, he was able to return home right before Christmas.

Max shared a photo of the enormous scar on his chest that was next to a tattoo showcasing his late bandmate Tom Parker’s birthdate shortly after the successful operation and the news of his pacemaker. Alongside the photo, Max wrote: “Say hello to my little friend! This is the best Christmas present I could have ever wanted, given the last ten days. The game is in.

” Operation took around 2 and half hours. The main issue was that some of my veins had erupted where the wires were supposed to go. However, the NHS’s hospital surgeons, doctors, and nurses have been amazing. I owe them everything. My pacemaker was kindly positioned just below my very special tattoo, thanks to the surgeon. So I’m sure it’s being looked after.

“Few more tests to do due to inflamed lymph nodes on my lungs, but that’ll be easy work! Time to relax and then resume life. Thank you for all your support. It’s meant a hell of a lot to myself and my family”.

Unfortunately, Max’s health battle is not yet over. The singer made it known earlier this month that he needed to have his lungs examined for enlarged lymph nodes. In order to discover what may have caused his life-threatening heart condition, Max explained that he would need a biopsy.

He shared: “The doctors have discovered enlarged lymph nodes on my lungs. This might indicate what may have caused my heart issues. In a few weeks, I need to have a lung biopsy. It sounds pretty gnarly. It might provide information on the origin of the problem.

Sam Thompson’s hilarious stunt as sister Louise supports him after Zara McDermott split

After splitting up with Zara McDermott, Sam Thompson reconnected with his sister Louise Thompson, and he appeared in good spirits.

The 32-year-old former Made in Chelsea star’s five-year romance with Zara, a former Strictly and Love Island contestant, ended in heartache in 2025. When the couple didn’t spend Christmas together, the couple’s fans became upset. However, they had insisted all was well at the time.

At the beginning of this month, though, it emerged that the pair had taken the painful decision to split. However, it appears Sam could have relied on Louise, 34, to cheer him up.

Louise posted a cheerful photo of herself posing alongside her younger brother on Instagram this week, laughing that he was trying to be patient. The reality star shared a series of photos with her followers as well as a brief clip showing her brother peering from the roof of her home.

Sam was seated next to Louise while posing in a stripy top. Sam was also seen in a bright pink jumper. They were laughing together in the following image. While the third episode of the series featured Sam staring wildly through the glass while sitting on top of the skylight in one of her rooms.

She wrote in an accompanying caption: “People think it’s fun living next to a sibling… until they swipe to slide 3. My nervous system can’t cope. Happy to have you home”.

Sam’s face was clearly pressed against the glass in another image, with his teeth on display and his nose raised. The image collection surprised the post’s readers who flooded the comments section.

One wrote: “Sam is literally the most refreshing human who loves life yep can be my neighbour”. Another joked: “Googles how to get a restraining order on a neighbour”. While another suggested: “Give him a cloth while he’s up there to wash the windows-may as well be useful”

Sam made it known earlier this week that he was turning to his sister for support after splitting. He told The Mirror: “It’s amazing having Louise there and she’s an amazing mum. One of my biggest comforts, if I’m ever going through a hard time, is my neighbours next door”.

He continued, “I live my life at a very fast pace and there are a lot of things going on, so when I go to their place, it’s just such a family unit and beautiful to be.” Louise is running after Leo, my nephew, and Ryan’s running after Louise – it’s all manic madness, but it’s so warm and cosy and lovely”.

At the beginning of the year, Sam and Zara’s split was known. A source told the Daily Mail: “Sam and Zara have ended their relationship. They still care about one another and have a lot of love for one another despite making an extremely difficult decision to part ways.

They split after a difficult year of pursuing their romance, and they will concentrate on their individual careers in 2025. No scandal or conflict between them has occurred; it is simply the result of a difficult year, during which they both had to devote a lot of time to their own projects.

Lily Allen claims famous rapper slid into her DMs amid David Harbour split

After splitting from her husband, Lily Allen claims a well-known rapper sent her a private message.

The songstress, 39, was chatting to her podcast co-host Miquita Oliver. In their conversation, the pair were asked which of them had the highest likelihood of getting in touch with a famous person. Miquita immediately said: “It’s Lily”.

Before sharing a story about a musician leaving her a message, Lily quickly responded, “It happens all the time.” The mum-of-two then claimed British rapper Central Cee had sent her a note asking: “Where you at”?

Lily explained she told him: “‘ I’m in the departures lounge at Heathrow Airport. Next time, sorry. ‘”

Lily Allen (Getty Images) is alleged to have sent Central Cee a message.

When Miquita then asked: “What do you think he was looking for? Companionship”?, she jokingly replied with a vulgar comment of a sexual nature.

Lily, who has two children, Ethel, 13, and Marnie, 11, who she shares with ex Sam Cooper, split with husband David last year. The couple had been married for four years. Following the announcement, Lily admitted she was going to have a rest from the podcast. Signing out, she said to co-host Miquita, 40, at the end of the episode: “I’ll see you on the other side. Hopefully I’ll be in a better place”.

After splitting with the 49-year-old Stranger Things star, it was reported that she had visited a trauma center in the US. She will spend several weeks at the residential retreat in the US, according to a source who earlier earlier told the Mail, where she will be instructed to “unpack” her emotions.

Everyone believes Lily is the crazy head-case and David is the steady one, according to another source. However, Lily’s marriage ended abruptly, and she was more grounded and calm than ever before. She is making a trip to a retreat to get her head straight, which is responsible.

The Smile singer recently stated that she is “not in a good place” and having panic attacks that are affecting her life, despite not directly commenting on her split. She worryingly added that the situation was ‘ spiralling’.

Strictly Come Dancing fans fear two major stars are set to quit show

After they both found new jobs away from the recognizable BBC dance floor, Strictly Come Dancing may lose two of its most well-known stars.

Janette Manrara, who made her West End debut in the role of Roxie Hart in the stage musical Chicago in March of this year, was originally a professional dancer on the series and currently performs the spin-off show It Takes Two. She made the announcement by sharing a Chicago poster with the words “Extra extra!” Big news for Foxy Roxie! From March 3rd, the stunning Janette Manrara will play Roxie Hart on the #ChicagoUKTour!

Dianne Buswell, who recently shared a new fashion deal with the clothing company In The Style and won the Strictly trophy at the end of last year with her celebrity partner Chris McCausland, has also announced she is starting a podcast series with comedian Chris.

Fans online predicted that she might not be appearing on Strictly until later in the year. One wrote: “I wouldn’t be surprised if Dianne left to focus either on other career developments or family”, while a second commented: “I don’t think she’ll be able to top this partnership and this series”. “I can see Dianne pulling the classic move of leaving right after winning,” a third said.

Oti Mabuse ended the show in 2008 after winning two years in a row, joining Tom Chambers on Holby City in 2008, first with Kelvin Fletcher and then comedian Bill Bailey.

Due to Storm Eowyn, cancellations have been made to the Strictly Live tour this week that features some of the show’s most well-known dancers. On Friday, January 24, the first date in Glasgow was postponed. In a statement released on Thursday, the show’s bosses said: “Due to the red weather warning in place tomorrow, the Friday evening performance of Strictly Come Dancing The Live Tour will be rescheduled to Sunday evening, 26 January”.

Following their Strictly success, Chris McCausland and Dianne Buswell have created an INSTAGRAM podcast.

The 30 date tour features seven couples, Jamie Borthwick and Michelle Tsiakkas, Montell Douglas and Kai Widdrington, Wynne Evans and Katya Jones, Tasha Ghouri and Aljaž Škorjanec, JB Gill, Amy Dowden and Lauren Oakley, Sarah Hadland and Vito Coppola and Shayne Ward and Nancy Xu, as well as performances from other Strictly dancers, including Dianne Buswell.

TV hosts Janette Manrara, Anton Du Beke, Craig Revel Horwood, Motsi Mabuse, and Shirley Ballas, Anton Du Beke, and Craig Revel Horwood, who also serve as the tour host, are also featured in the shows.

Judge Craig Revel Horwood was the target of a playback earlier this week by Wynne Evans. The Welsh Opera singer appeared on Monday’s The One Show, and he exchanged some backstage banter from the tour. He cheekily remarked: “It’s fun, you know, it’s just real fun, it’s absolute entertainment. Craig is still as impolite as ever. He called me right, yesterday, he said that I was stompy and flat footed. Right”?

“So I said: ‘ Have you heard your album, mate, that’s stompy and flat if ever I’ve heard it! ‘ So yeah, there’s quite a lot of banter and he gave me a two yesterday, so I was absolutely gutted, just because I was a bit rude about his album”!
