According to poll results published by Reuters today (Oct. 27th), rock star Marilyn Manson is considered to be the world’s creepiest celebrity. Manson topped the poll comfortably, ahead of Casey Anthony and O.J. Simpson.
Manson‘s most recent video, Born Villain, directed by Shia Labeouf, certainly raised a few eyebrows upon its release for its relatively extreme nature.
Manson is currently working on what will be his eighth studio album, which will share the name of the recently revealed single Born Villain. In interviews Manson has commented on the style of the new album, suggesting it will be heavier than his recent output and that it will sound “really death metal”.
Born Villain is set for release sometime in 2012.

How stupid…you know he is not any more creepy than some well known political and religious icons. Personally I would be more afraid of them.
He is beautiful inside and out and not at all creepy…again proves that people are afriad of what they cant understand. Whoever began this stupid poll, grab a mirror and look at how creepy you are right now.
Marilyn Manson is very intelligent and the creepiness is all image. Sometimes he’s a little pretentious and cliched but he has proved to be diverse and willing to take risks. They don’t always pay off but he has created some truly great albums (although the last two or three have been somewhat mediocre).
