The Australian issue
of Empire magazine reported in May/June that Marilyn
Manson was confirmed to contribute to Director Baz
Lurman's new exotic flick " Moulin Rouge" starring
Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor. When the tracklisting
was finally revealed months ago, Marilyn Manson was
no where to be found. According to the June 18th issue
of People weekly, Mason did contribute to the soundtrack,
but someone not to friendly intervened.
"Moulin Rouge had Courtney
Love seeing red," reports the magazine. "Director
Baz Luhrmann beseeched the rocker for the rights to
use "Smells like teen spirit," the Nirvana tune by
her late husband Kurt Cobain, in the splashy musical.
He even paid Love a visit and a hefty premium ($125,000)
for the grunge anthem. But then Luhrmann had Marilyn
Manson record the song for the musical montage at
the start of the movie. Bad Move. Unbeknownst to Luhrmann,
Love and Manson have disliked each other since their
joint tour two years ago. When Love found out the
Manson was Luhrmann's choice, she flipped out, reminding
him of the performer-approval clause in her contract.
An unknown band hastily re-recorded the song six days
before the movies L.A. and New York openings."
THanks a lot
