Movie stars and rock stars have been pairing up for years. Some of the creations have been excellent, others, well not so much. Now there is one more to add to the list. Goth rocker Marilyn Manson and kooky actor Johnny Depp are taking their friendship to the studio. The two have paired up on a duet remake of Carly Simon's "You're So Vain". Yes, the song choice makes this duo an even interesting situation.
It turns out that these two have been friends for some time now. In 2001, a remake of Manson's song "The Nobodies" was featured on the soundtrack of "From Hell", which Depp starred in. Johnny also took the rocker as his date to the premiere of "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest". The duo has also Cris-crossed career paths. Depp has played guitar since early childhood. He is also in a band, P, with Flea of Red Hot Chili Peppers and Gibby Haynes of the Butthole Surfers. The band was invited to play with Eddie Vedder. Manson has dabbled in acting with a few movie roles, his most prevalent being in David Lynch's film "The Last Highway" in 1997.
All intrigued ears will have to wait a bit to hear this remake. The single will appear on Manson's upcoming album, Born Villain, as a bonus track. The LP will be out May 1st, on Hell Inc, records. As for a video? In a recent interview with MTV UK, Marilyn said that the video will be simple, with the two looking at each other like a mirror. Interesting...
