TRENT REZNOR of NIN & MARILYN MANSON to hook up...in court?

The trial in the lawsuit between MARILYN MANSON and his former bandmate MADONNA WAYNE GACY, whose real name is STEPHEN BIER, has been delayed. A judge is pushing the start date from November 3rd to February 2nd. The ruling came after Bier's attorney said the trial could last as long as a month. He also stated that TRENT REZNOR has been added to his list of potential witnesses.

Bier is seeking millions, claiming that Manson used money from the band's partnership to purchase personal items such as Nazi memorabilia and an engagement ring for ex-wife DITA VON TEESE. But Manson is claiming that the partnership was dissolved 12 years ago when he took control of the group. Since Reznor produced Marilyn Manson's debut album, Portrait of an American Family, Bier clearly thinks he may be able to shed light on the state of the band and the partnership.

Manson is counter-suing Bier for failing to fully participate in recording, performing and helping to sell merchandise while he was a member of the band.
