8. Does Fiona have any brothers or sisters?
 The only sibling I KNOW Fiona has is her older sister Amber who sings
 harmony on Pale September. It is rumored that Fiona has a brother named
 Garrett who stars in a show on UPN... that has not been confirmed and
 I don't think it's true.

9. Is Fiona going out with Marilyn Manson?
 NO. This rumor has been going on for quite awhile but is NOT true. They
 had one minor *date* when they met at last year's post Grammy party and
 Mr. Manson invited Fiona to go with him to the Howard Stern "Private
 Parts" premiere. When the press started to crowd them when they arrived,
 the two became overwhelmed and ended up leaving so it could barely even
 be considered a date. Fiona's recently broke up with her magician boyfriend,
 David Blaine and is currently going out with Paul Thomas Anderson,
 director of Boogie Nights.


10. Does Fiona have any tattoos or piercings?
 Fiona has a rectangular tattoo on the small of her back. The top half
 says KIN which is the word she and David used instead of family. The bottom
 half says FHW... in other words: Fiona Has Wings. She has her naval 
 pierced and probably her ears pierced... but I'm not sure about the ears.
