Teary Dita Von Teese comes face-to-face with the “teenager” who stole her then-husband Marilyn Manson during Fashion Group International’s Night of Stars held Thursday at NYC’s Cipriani Wall Street.
Moments after Gwen Stefani’s amicable breakup ode Cool plays, smug Evan Rachel Wood struts through posing for photographers at 7:45 p.m. Navigating through a maze of reporters – chatting with some, and not with others – she boldly sidles up beside Dita, 37, who is busy chatting away. At 7:50 p.m., the burlesque babe cups her hands to her face and scatters as soon as she realizes the girl who ruined her happy life is inches away when flashbulbs start popping.
Evan, 22, is added to the event at the last minute, so it is unclear whether she knew she would attend, but she seems completely caught off-guard.
Even before the lover of her ex-husband arrives, Dita is discussing heartbreak.
“I think I’ve become a little bit more careful in my selection now,” she says of what she wants in a man these days. “I look for people that keep me calm and bring happiness and joy to my life instead of the opposite of that. I look for elegance combined with someone who has great sexual chemistry with me. It’s the good parts of the bad guy and the good parts of the good guy, too. I like all of it.”
She tears up when asked how she bounced back from her 2007 divorce, telling me, “I’m not anyone to give relationship advice. I don’t want to talk about it anymore.”
Now dating Count Louis Marie de Castelbajac, 25, for seven months, the starlet is becoming bi-continental.
“He lives in Paris, and I just got an apartment there, so I’m really excited to go between L.A. and Paris so that I can really appreciate the great things about L.A. and the great things about Paris because there’s great things about both,” she says, her eyes still glistening between dark eyeliner. “I’m just excited about living in both places for awhile. But it’s still new. It’s seven months in. It’s in that great new stage.”
Dita is on hand to promote her cocktail Cointreau Teese, the drink of the evening, and present an award to designer Stephen Jones. We assume Evan just likes fashion and creating a stir, as she simply gives a knowing glance when asked how it feels to be here.
According to 2006 divorce papers, Evan was a factor in their split. Dita and Marilyn, 40, had been together since 2001, and their marriage ended after one year. Evan appeared in Marilyn’s 2007 video, Heart-Shaped Glasses. Both count themselves as his exes now.
Yikes, awkward!
Boooo!!!! False reporting!!!! Dita wrote what REALLY happened on her Twitter account just now, and this story is an utter fabrication. Shame on you guys!
This is NOT OK.
It’s messed up that this story is published when it’s completely and utterly false. The reporter should be fired. Maybe they could get a job as a fiction writer since that’s all they seem to know how to write.
What a pile of crap. OK get your facts straight, geez. All time low for you guys…
Should be ashamed of yourself! Boo!
http://www.twitlonger.com/show/o4j8 if the prize is Marilyn Manson I think Dita was the winner anyway, ffs he looks like an inflatable novelty.
Also, they are clearly not together in any of those pictures. Is it very difficult to take pictures of people who are standing side by side?
Valerie, Get a job as a science fiction writer, and stop spreading malicious gossip about people!
Yes….well…they were way harsh on Wood too. She was there at the invitation of Gucci for whom she will be doing an ad campaign, similar to James Franco’s campaign…that’s why he was there too.
Evan never attends events unless it’s work related…and, well, let’s face it…Dita goes to the opening of an envelope. OK should be ashamed for trying to make Evan look like a conniving beeotch, when in fact, neither of them knew the other was there until they saw each other.
Evan has been filming a movie with James McAvoy and Robert Redford…that’s why her hair is brown again, and Alexander Skarsgard was with her at the other Gucci event on Friday, just btw.
According to Just Jared, who was there, Alexander Skarsgard was there with a Swedish friend he talked to all night. The only interaction he had with Wood was to introduce his friend as they were leaving.
