Dita Von Teese might make her living out of taking off her clothes but there's no denying the lady has class by the bucket load. I'm a massive fan of burlesque, but my opinion aside this lady could show many a ridiculous celebrity how to handle fame and public break ups. I'm looking at you Ms. Spears.
Following her none-too-dignified break up with famed rock frontman Marilyn Manson, Dita has kept her ruby lips sealed and with a stiff upper one at that. If you don't know, Manson ran off with Evan Rachel Wood who's half his age, leaving his wife in the lurch. But Dita has left him behind in the fame stakes.
Finally she's loosened her strict rules on commenting on her ex-beau and given us a few gems in the process. Speaking to Radar about her disappointment that Manson's views on their split had been "exploited for record sales", she noted acerbicallly: "'Shock rocker', I suppose. That was the shock."
Fantastically, when asked whether the press had misrepresented her in the Manson interviews, Von Teese quipped: "I don't think it was the press. It was a matter of, 'Hey, maybe you [Manson] shouldn't drink absinthe and do cocaine and do interviews all at the same time.'... No, I don't think it was the press. It was drinking and interviewing."
That's him told, eh? If he wasn't kicking himself for shunning this sought-after starlet already, he soon will be.
