Marilyn Manson Charts A New Hit With His Latest Collaboration
Both Marilyn Manson and Falling in Reverse dropped new albums in 2024, mounting long-awaited comebacks. The two sets, spaced out months apart from one another, were welcomed warmly by fans and preceded by a handful of singles, many of which became charting successes. The two hard rock musical outfits have now teamed up for a shared tune, which has quickly become a bestseller in the United Kingdom.
Falling in Reverse recruited Manson to feature on "God Is a Weapon," a new single released to coincide with the announcement of a tour of the same name. The band, fronted by Ronnie Radke, announced that the venture will start in August and finish in September, traveling across the United States. Opening acts like Wage War, Hollywood Undead, and Sleep Theory will join the bill at various points.
"God Is a Weapon" is a standalone single for the moment, and it has already become a quick bestseller in the U.K. The tune opens at No. 67 on the Official Singles Downloads chart. It also starts off at No. 70 on the Official Singles Sales list, which includes both downloads and physical purchases.
Manson collects his fifth career placement on the Official Singles Sales chart as "God Is a Weapon" debuts. He has landed seven appearances on the downloads-only tally. He hasn't stayed away from these tallies for very long, as it's only been weeks since his last new hit. Manson last reached these rankings earlier this month with his cover of "In the Air Tonight" by Phil Collins, which was a top 40 bestseller on both lists.
Falling in Reverse earns a fifth career win on both the Official Singles Sales and Official Singles Downloads charts this week. The group hasn't appeared on either tally since July 2023, when "Last Resort" also became a top 40 seller in the U.K.

Producer's notebook: Tracking the fate of Jimmy Hoffa
In March of 2018, veteran producer Dan Cohen and I were handed a seemingly impossible assignment: Find out what happened to Jimmy Hoffa. Our host would be Eric Shawn, the veteran Fox News senior correspondent known for his dogged and principled reporting. The project eventually became Riddle: The Search for James R. Hoffa, a FOX Nation documentary series that I naively assumed would be a one-off, some neat 50-minute story wrapped in the mystery and mythology of Detroit's labor history and the enduring enigma of Hoffa's 1975 disappearance. But I was wrong. And Eric made sure of that. What followed over the next seven years would become some of the most important work of my three-decade career in journalism. That first spring and summer, we traveled to Detroit three times, tracking down former attorneys, reporters, experts and historians. We interviewed Charles Brandt, author of I Heard You Paint Houses, pored over Temple University's photo archives and the heavily redacted HOFFEX memo, and even revisited the now-infamous house on Beaverland Street—allegedly the site where mob hitman Frank Sheeran killed Hoffa. The result was a thoroughly researched, compelling first season. When FOX Nation launched in November 2018, we felt we had accomplished something meaningful. Yet, we knew there was more to do. Too many leads were unproven. Too many theories clashed. Too many families—most notably the Hoffas—still had no answers. And so, we kept digging. Eric's journalistic pedigree is no accident. This is the same reporter who landed exclusives with Bernhard Goetz and Joey Buttafuoco, who covered O.J. Simpson and John Gotti with the same tenacity he brought to this Hoffa investigation. He doesn't just follow a story—he chases it down, interrogates it, and doesn't let go until the truth emerges. With producer Bud Knapp, we expanded our investigation beyond Detroit, entertaining the decades-old theory that Hoffa was transported to New Jersey and buried at Moscato's Dump in Jersey City. We interviewed the sons of the original dump owners—Phil Moscato Jr. and Frank Cappola—and followed their compelling claims that Hoffa was killed in Detroit, moved across state lines, and buried near the Pulaski Skyway. After all, it's what their fathers told them. We scoured Essex, Bergen, and Morris Counties in New Jersey, driving everywhere and interviewing anyone connected. We examined everything—even a theory that he may be buried under a backyard pool in East Rutherford owned by Gabriel Briguglio, a 1975 New Jersey resident and the last living suspect with alleged mob connections. By the end of Season 3 and 4 of Riddle, Eric had dismantled several prominent theories, but kept the family—Jimmy's children, James P. and Barbara—updated, respectfully, as if our work might one day help bring them closure. Then, something remarkable happened. In 2021, based on our reporting, the FBI conducted a dig under the Pulaski Skyway. I remember visiting the site myself before it made headlines, spotting disturbed ground and security cameras perched ominously above. The bureau confirmed to the press in June 2022 that a dig did in fact happen in October of 2021, but Hoffa was not found. While they found nothing, it was proof that our work was resonating. Still, we pressed on. Our research eventually exposed the weak foundation of the New Jersey theory, a theory that, in 1975, the Briguglio brothers, Sal and Gabe, as well as the Andrettas, Thomas and Steven, came to Detroit to murder Hoffa and make him disappear. Combing through our research, we realized that the theory was largely built on the word of convicted felon Ralph Picardo, a pathological liar serving time for manslaughter. His claims about the Briguglio and Andretta brothers were part of a desperate attempt to reduce his sentence, not credible evidence. And so, we turned back to Detroit. With help from Scott Burnstein of Gangster Report, Eric led us back to where it all began. By Season 6, our investigation had cleared Gabriel Briguglio's name, casting doubt on author Dan Moldea's long-held assertions. Moldea, once the authoritative voice on the Hoffa case, had appeared to rely on the same faulty source—Picardo. In our series Riddle, he often stated that "Picardo was state of the Art." We had the confidence to know that while it was smart for the FBI to follow that lead back in 1975, in 2025 it just didn't make sense anymore. Eric continued working, meticulously sifting through FBI files, cold leads, and firsthand interviews. Eventually, we sat down with the last living suspect, Gabriel Briguglio, who spoke candidly—finally free of decades of suspicion. In early 2025, we achieved a milestone: finally chatting with the Hoffa family on a phone call that would ultimately lead to our interview with James P. Hoffa for Season 7. Fifty years after Jimmy Hoffa disappeared, we were face-to-face with his son James P. Hoffa, listening to the heartbreak and frustration only a family can feel. Eric's interview was respectful, pointed, and powerful. It wasn't about chasing headlines—it was about chasing the truth. He asked the questions that mattered, because the story still matters. We felt a connection to James P. "Fox has followed this all the way", he said, aas if to give us the "OK", to try and help them get some type of closure in this 50-year mystery. It was important to all of us in the room that day. This wasn't just a documentary. It was a mission—one built on empathy, tenacity, and journalistic responsibility. Eric never lost sight of the human cost of this story. He never lost interest in the truth, and he never got discouraged, even when the trail went cold. He just kept going, because that's what good journalists do. From 2004, when he entered the Beaverland house to test floorboards for blood, to Season 7 of Riddle, which is out on FOX Nation right now, Eric Shawn has been the soul of this investigation. The dignity, professionalism, and rigor he brought to this project is unmatched. So if you watch Riddle: The Search for James R. Hoffa, don't just watch it for the mystery. Watch it to understand what true investigative journalism looks like.

A peek inside Jimmy Hoffa's lake house hideaway
Jimmy Hoffa's disappearance ignores his life. The legendary labor leader, who was the hard-charging former president of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, had a quiet, hidden place where he could kick back and relax with his family away from the intense public spotlight. Hoffa's sanctuary was an unassuming wooden house and compound on the shore of Lake Orion, 38 miles north of Detroit. It was Hoffa's beloved getaway where he spent decades with his wife Josephine, daughter Barbara and son James, granddaughter Barbara and grandsons David and Geoffrey, and assorted family and friends. But it is also the place he left on the afternoon of July 30th, 1975, to head to a meeting that resulted in his tragic disappearance. "He loved this place," said Hoffa's son James. "When he came home, he was just Dad." This summer, Fox Nation visited the house with Mr. Hoffa and his son David, as part of our series "Riddle, The Search for James R. Hoffa." The last two episodes of the series highlight the role the lake house played in the family. The Hoffas sold the house in 1986, but, strangely, it remains much as it was during the summer of 1975 today, so many years later. Jimmy Hoffa's furniture is still in it. His wood-paneled console TV still sits in the living room where he watched it. The only books on the shelf were from 1975, the year he vanished. His copy of the 1975 "Who's Who in America," which of course lists him, rests alongside his copies of "The Celebrity Register" and "Men of Achievement." The old green shag wall-to-wall carpet was still underfoot in the living room. Jimmy Hoffa's carved wooden Totem Pole still stands overlooking the lake. Even his white and orange garden tractor, a 3415 H Simplicity, that he used to mow his own lawn remains in the backyard. "As busy as he was, he was a good father, and he always found time for his family, and he was a good family man," said James. He said his father did his own home repairs, built parts of the house and grounds himself, cleared trees and brush and did his own yardwork. "He was a working man all the way," he said. This summer promises a new life for the Hoffa house. It was bought by Susan and John Hagen, who plan to renovate it and are appreciative and respectful of its unique history. "We knew the house was Jimmy Hoffa's summer estate when we saw it for the first time," John Hagen told Fox Nation. "We were the only ones who wanted to restore the property. Everyone else wanted to tear it down." He said their intention is to "preserve a bit of history." After the closing, they decided to learn all they could about the famous previous owner. "We started to appreciate the significance and what an important person Jimmy Hoffa was to the labor workers of his time. He was one of those rare people who make a huge impact on the world, and to keep that property of the local community has become very important to us. Even though the property is not listed as an historical site, it does have much historical significance, and we feel our role is to be the caretaker of the property and to preserve it to the best of our abilities," he said. The Hagens have started a Facebook page, "Hoffa House Renovations," that will document their effort. Their page even includes photos of our Fox Nation visit. The page already shows their work, such as repainting Hoffa's handmade totem pole in its original colors, taking down walls, uncovering long hidden patios and even Hoffa's wooden picnic tables. "The property needs a lot of work, so it made sense to share the progress with everyone. We have had messages from people all over the country, who have stated they are enjoying seeing the home the Hoffa's loved so much." The Hagens have their work cut out for them. The house and grounds are in disrepair, with large areas grown over and neglected. But the couple is ready as John was a builder/carpenter for 40 years, so he is ready. "Our plans for the house are to restore the carriage house back to its former glory. The foundation is sinking on one side, so we may have to tear it down and rebuild it," he said. "There is a very large concrete patio that was uncovered next to the house. The stone bar-b-q that is on the patio is in need of serious repair. I will be taking it totally apart and putting it back together." "The house will be redone inside and out," he said. "The outside will look exactly as it did 50 years ago, complete with the 8-inch white siding and new windows in all the locations. The house inside will be updated to look like 2025." "The new owners are really good," said Hoffa's son James. "They will do a good job." The Hagens are also uncovering special reminders of the Hoffa family's presence. A faint outline of "JO" was visibly written in the cement stairs leading up from the lake, for Hoffa's wife Josephine. The stone seawall that Hoffa built by hand with his son James, remains as strong as ever. "We did it together," boasts Hoffa's son, James. "I worked with him on that. My hands would be raw, and his hands were raw, but we did it together." The Hagens met Hoffa's son and one of his grandsons, David, when we visited the house. "Hearing the wonderful stories about Jimmy Hoffa gave us a unique insight of the human side of the Hoffa story. Jimmy Hoffa was a family man and loved his family," John said. "As I listened to James P. Hoffa, I thought to myself, I hope my kids have great memories of bringing their kids to my house, like he does. There is an obvious strong family bond with the Hoffas." The Hoffa family loved the house, and it is clear that the Hagen family will carry that on in the spirit of the illustrious former owner. Watch all eight episodes of "Riddle: The Search for James R. Hoffa," now streaming on Fox Nation. The latest episodes, 7 and 8, "The Only Way To Stop Him Was To Kill Him," and "The Hoffa Legacy," include the story of the lake house.
