Marilyn Manson is close to giving birth to his new album -- his first with Twiggy Ramirez since 2000's 'Guns, God and Government.' "If we were pregnant, we'd be ready to drop," Manson tells Spinner.

The reunited couple appeared together at Spike TV's Scream 2008 Awards in L.A. over the weekend, when Manson shared the good news. A tentative release date has yet to be named, but a taste isn't far away. "I think we're gonna release a song before the end of the year," Manson says. "This record is the record we always wanted to make and [Twiggy] is writing from a point of view that I've always written from lyrically. I don't think earlier on he had the opportunity to be damaged, and his soul to be trampled on by women as much as me. So now that his penis has been cut off metaphorically, and been smashed into f---ing Sloppy Joe's -- someone s--- on his heart a thousand times -- we tried to put a musical face to that."

Here's hoping for a release right around Valentine's Day.
