When Avril Lavigne needed some help getting in touch with her spooky side, she asked the help of someone who knows about spooky stuff, Marilyn Manson.
Speaking with MTV, Lavigne said that Manson helped her with "Bad Girl," a track from her yet-to-be titled album, due out in September.
She says she texted Manson, whom she's known from the age of 18 in the wee hours: "He's like, 'I'll come over and I'll hear it.' So he came at 4 o'clock in the morning . . . Yes, it was one of those nights."
She added that last year, backstage at a Paris show, Manson gave her some style advice:
"We were hanging out backstage and we were with his band having a few drinks and I was like, 'Let's shave my head. I'm ready; let's do this!' He's like that, though. He has fun. He wears his makeup; his wardrobe is very visual. I like his style."
