Umm did a recently divorced lady who had a buttload of plastic surgery in hopes of scoring a new man just visit the set of Eastbound & Down? No SillyBilly, that's just Marilyn Manson without makeup! The 44-year-old goth rocker was photographed at HBO's studios with a much lighter, more feathered 'do and sans makeup. We have to admit we kind of prefer the king of creepy with his eternally-ready-for-Halloween style.

Apparently the "Dope Show" singer is an Eastbound & Down superfan and has been lobbying to make a cameo on the show for years, so much so that the sultan of shock was willing to go through the makeunder to get on his favorite show.

The show's star, Danny McBride, even told MTV back in 2010 that eccentric singer would even email him trying to land a gig on the HBO comedy. McBride said, "I get weird emails from Marilyn Manson now. He sends me weird emails in the middle of the night of what he's watching on TV, and you can hear him giggling in the background." McBride continued, "One time he literally sent me a Peanuts special I guess he was watching, sometimes it's Eastbound, infomercials, anything."

Well we never thought Manson would do anything normally -- so in an odd way this style of attack makes sense!

Manson, whose real name is Brian Hugh Warner, will be playing a yet-to-be-known part on Eastbound's fourth season.

We can't wait to see the fruits of Manson's hard-fought campaigning!
