Manson to play Queen of Hearts in 'Alice In Wonderland'

Marilyn Manson is to play the Queen of Hearts in a new 'Alice In Wonderland' movie. The shock rocker will dress as a woman for 'Living In Neon Dreams', which co-stars Daryl Hannah, Tim Roth and Jonathan Pryce, and says he is watching old Joan Crawford movies for inspiration on how to be more feminine. He revealed to MTV: "I'm not just playing a drag queen, I'm playing a woman. There's a big difference, and there's more work to do on that. So I'm studying early Joan Crawford, and I've been kind of watching the lady at home, picking up some characteristics. She can teach me how to put my stockings on straight, though I think I've already mastered that." Marilyn - who is set to wed stripper girlfriend Dita Von Teese in a gothic German castle - previously played a drag queen in the film 'Party Monster', alongside former child star Macaulay Culkin.
