court hearing
this april 6th court hearing for drug charges, that date has passed, does anyone have the knowledge on what happened or whats in progress so this page can be updated?


 * The hearing was postponed, I fixed that.--Patrick 13:36, 28 May 2005 (UTC)

Why dont you fade? Everything Inane 01:12, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

It's cool that the Will & Grace part was mentioned. Please note that this part may also be indicative of Culkin's sexual preference. While the role that he played was not... homosexual, the series is gay every episode. 66.41.212.243 12:03, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

Investigation proved that Culkin wasn't a drug addict, and he received a suspended sentence. turns out he's a woman.

How can an investigation prove such a thing? You kidding me right, plus it was not only mary j. and zanax that they found in his staff...

The article says he started his career in the early 90's, but Uncle Buck came out in 1989 and was his first big gig, although not the lead character.

Married before
Dudes wasn't he married to his high-school sweetheart at 17? ~ufoolme can anyone fuck me 4 free


 * I recall this as well. Mcflytrap 17:23, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

mug shot
I removed his mug shot photo, because it isn't a flattering picture of him. He's an actor first and, I'm sure, there are better photos of him out there. TripleH1976 Mon 23:51, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
 * As a note, so long as there is a free use image out there, no matter how unflattering, (the mug shot) there's no real acceptable rationale for putting fair use images up. Having no images is a fair compromise, but I'll return the favour and remove any fair use images placed in the article. GeeJo  (t)⁄(c) &bull; 17:52, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I don't see why this is the case. Surely a photo of a subject is not a priori interchangable with any other photo of the same subject.  As noted, the intent may be to illustrate Culkin as a movie actor, for which a mug shot is not appropriate.  Moreover, this is not common practice on Wikipedia; many celebrities have mugshots, however most articles use a publicity photo.  Also note that a mugshot is not necessarily free (public domain); its status is disputed .  I don't see your reasoning here.  --TeaDrinker 02:30, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

Marriage
Yeah someone said he was married to liz Hurley which I find to be outrageous, so I changed it back. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 144.132.68.120 (talk) 10:30, 5 May 2007 (UTC).

"At the height of his fame"
I reverted an edit twice inserting the caption "Macaulay Culkin at the height of his fame, 1991." on the picture as pov. The original text read "Macaulay Culkin, 1991." I think the former is not supported by the text or references, and constitutes a novel synthesis per WP:OR. While it is true that his best known movies were from this time frame, it is not clear that this is what is intended by "fame." If the intent is to note that this is not a modern photo of him, there is probably a better way of saying it (since his being washed up, as the caption seems to imply, is really an opinion). --TeaDrinker 18:46, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

Protection against vandalism
This article is attacked and vandalised so often that it is a clear candidate for protection. You should not allow edits from unregistered users, those are the ones that cause most of the problems. I hope some of the executive editors will notice and do something about it. Eriks 06:39, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

Michael Jackson Sex Scandal
Shouldn't this article mention how Michael Jackson slept in the same bed as Mr. Culkin when the during the time he allegedly molested children?--216.164.61.173 (talk) 15:45, 12 April 2008 (UTC)


 * You'll need a very reliable source for that because both the people you mention are currently living people. Graham 87 06:08, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

--I know this is an old post, but whether the person's are living or not, is irrelevant... you would still need a verifiable source, irregardless.

Well, the testimony was in open court, so it's well-documented--here, for instance. That doesn't necessarily mean it should belong in the article; I was just raising the issue.--216.164.61.173 (talk) 03:06, 14 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Ah I've found that it's already well-covered at People v. Jackson and probably doesn't need to be mentioned in detail here. Graham 87 03:35, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

Notable roles
We need to decide what is and isn't a notable role for Culkin. I have issue with some that are included and wonder why some are excluded. For instance, is the sequel to Home Alone really all that notable? And why isn't Party Monster added? -- it was his return to acting. -FateSmiled&amp;DestinyLaughed 13:59, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Upon further inspection, I'd put forward that, of those listed, only Home Alone is notable. -FateSmiled&amp;DestinyLaughed 14:03, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
 * If "Party Monster" is listed, why is "Saved!" not listed? I know more people that know of his work in Saved! than Party Monster, and Saved! had a wider release. --DisneyFreak96 00:32, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
 * What do you define as a notable role? He starred in Home Alone 2, and, as I recall, it did fairly well. So how is it not a notable role? If you think the list is missing an important role, feel free to be bold and add it, but I would hesitate before removing films from the list.--Agent Aquamarine 13:44, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

notability with actors is a bit speculative, but here a few things to consider:
 * Did the actor play a major role in the film? [A supporting cast actor is a major role...]
 * Did the film aid the actor to further his/her career?
 * Is the film listed as an important film in a verifiable film related source? And if so, does it mention the actor?
 * Was the actor nominated or recognized for the film in a major awards ceremony?
 * Did the actor have a speaking part? [Even if they didn't, it could still be notable...]
 * Did the actor have high degrees of national or international appeal because of said film?

Its not necessary however to reveal every notable role an actor played in, because when all else fails, the film in which the actor starred in can be listed in the actors filmography. Hope that helps. Wolfpeaceful (talk) 17:41, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

Career
Doesn't anyone notice that the "career" subsection apprears twice? I'm not too sure on how to edit properly so I won't try to fix it... 74.101.227.231 03:38, 24 January 2007 (UTC) J

I have removed the inverted commas around the word friendship in reference to Micheal Jackson as this is clearly crass, unnecessary vandalism. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.202.132.150 (talk) 01:46, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

Why is the fact that he attended Micheal Jackson's funeral part of the carrier section, seems like "recentisim" to me ... and has nothing to do with his carrier... removing... Eja2k (talk) 01:10, 5 September 2009 (UTC)

Picture
The guy is 27 and we still have a photo of him in his pre-teenage years. Somebody do something to change it please, or add another one bundled with this one. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.190.95.63 (talk) 00:17, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

I agree, why don't we have a more up to date picture of him? The current one is 17 years old for shake.Wild ste (talk) 20:03, 6 June 2008 (UTC)


 * It's been removed. I don't really care whether it's in the article or not, but note that a more up-to-date image must be freely licensed. Graham 87 11:39, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

For christs sake, the picture needs changing. How is it relevant to have a picture of a .....10 year old representing someone who is 27? It needs sorting. 66.229.116.13 (talk) 10:26, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

Wrestling Stuff
I noticed that Culkin's apperence on WWE Raw was mentioned twice in this article, but I'm not sure how it should be cleaned up. Any ideas? —Preceding unsignedZonafan39 (talk) 00:20, 20 October 2009 (UTC) comment added by Zonafan39 (talk • contribs) 17:10, 3 October 2009 (UTC)

Friendship with Michael Jackson
"Culkin and Michael Jackson were close friends during Jackson's entire life."

I think the person meant to say "during Culkin's entire life" as Jackson was considerably older than Culkin

This has already been changed. 70.61.247.31 (talk) 19:46, 20 October 2009 (UTC)

Years Active
Do you think it is necessary to have his "Years Active" listed in 2 separate timeframes since he was still "active" from 1994-2003 he just wasn't in any films, but he did have interviews and other things. Most other actors who took a break from acting still only have one timeframe for being active (covering their entire carer) unless maybe if they went into complete seclusion in the time between which was not the case with Culkin.

So I think that Years Active should be 1985-Present. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.98.40.217 (talk) 17:33, 4 April 2010 (UTC)

Recent photo...
my gosh can't someone find a more recent photo!!! you would think the info box would try to showcase the most recent photo available of a person.

trezjr 02:29, 12 February 2007 (UTC)


 * We can't use the most recent photo available. WP:FU requires that we use only freely-licensed images to depict living people.  --Yamla 02:42, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

Ya, so find one that meets that requirement!

 * His photograph is not only outdated, but also clipped and has a slight green cast on it, which in comparison to various other pictures of Culkin, are inaccurate. I too would like to see a more recent and more accurate picture on here. - Wuffyz 03:41, 29 April 2009 (UTC)

Uncredited
The article states that he was uncredited in Jacob's Ladder. Although I knew only that he played in the film that he was credited at the end of the movie. 84.0.117.83 (talk) 18:35, 19 July 2010 (UTC)

More Vandalism
I removed that he had been listening to Huey Lewis and the News right before his arrest, though I wish it was true. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.161.211.134 (talk) 20:18, 26 August 2010 (UTC)

I removed "His career hit an early detour when he was caught masturbating in the audience of Sesame Street in 1989. In the aftermath of this, he was sent to Michael Jackson's ranch for a brief overnight 'cleansing' with 'Jesus juice,' which put him back on track for success." which, in addition to being obvious vandalism, doesn't use proper encyclopedic wording. Or... This might have happened and I just made a fool of myself by editing it, but I doubt that. QBob1 (talk) —Preceding comment was added at 17:05, 18 May 2008 (UTC)


 * He did befriend Michael Jackson as it says in the article and on this talk page, but the text above is obvious vandalism. Graham 87 02:36, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

Looks like someone is intentionally adding the "strangling of the microphone again". Should this article be locked for editing from new users? Ildirector (talk) 22:10, 27 June 2009 (UTC)ildirector

no... the vandalism is rare on this article... if it becomes frequently consistent with the same users vandalizing, then you can take action and contact an admin... Otherwise, just revert it back to the last accurate post. Wolfpeaceful (talk) 19:17, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

Early Life
Why is there no "early life" section on the discussion page? In the section Early Life, it says that he was born and raised on the Lower East Side of Manhattan, then contradicts that assertion by saying that he lived in Yorkville. Yorkville is a neighborhood on the Upper East Side of Manhattan bounded by approximately 72nd and 96th Streets and Lexington and York Avenues--although some consider Yorkvilled to be only 86th street and south. His father worked as a sacristan for St. Joseph Church on East 87th Street, the children went to school there, and the family lived in the neighborhood. I think the entry needs to be changed to Upper East Side. When he was married he bought an apartment on the Lower East Side--possibly that is where the confusion comes from. Liam (talk) 12:41, 26 November 2010 (UTC)

Private Life
The article notes "Culkin was ranked # 2 in VH1's list of the "100 Greatest Kid Stars", the highest ranked actual human being.". That seems a little harsh to Gary Coleman, who was ranked #1. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Bartoncasey (talk • contribs) 05:46, 17 December 2006 (UTC).

Fixed. Probably a case of sneaky vandalism.--Agent Aquamarine 22:09, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

To me, calling that section "Personal Life" as opposed to "Private Life" seems more sensible, especially seeing as though it's on Wikipedia it's not particularly private anymore! I'll change it tomorrow if nobody disagrees. Sven945 15:51, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

I have included the fact that Macaulay and Mila Kunis had to leave Israel in 2006. It was listed here on Wikipedia at the time it happened and sources for it can currently be found on google news (if you sift through all the recent articles). Also, I have included the idea of him being gay. If anyone believes this is purely hearsay, search for Macaulay Culkin on the Yahoo search engine, the first option you read is 'Macaulay Culkin gay', so then click on that and explore the basis for reports that he is gay. Whoever said my information was not properly sourced should definately check out the above sites.

The idea that he is gay can be directly attributed to him starring in 'Party Monster'. Michael Alig, the character he played, is a homosexual and the film is filled with homosexual references. --Endlessdan 18:53, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

Old post, but replying anyway: simply because he acted as a homosexual, does not mean that he is homosexual... and technically the character he played in Party Monster was bisexual, with asexual preferences... but it doesn't matter, because he was acting. Wolfpeaceful (talk) 17:50, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

There is no such thing as a person "withdrawing" another from the Catholic Church--the line saying that his father "withdrew" him and his siblings should be removed--especially since it has no citation.Liam (talk) 12:46, 26 November 2010 (UTC)

Sentance Fragment makes no sense
Despite the huge success of "Uncle Buck", "Home Alone", "Home Alone 2: Lost in New York", and "My Girl", other films Culkin acted in, such as The Good Son, which co-starred Elijah Wood and Culkin's big sister, Quinn Culkin (and featured a photo cameo of Culkin's baby brother, Rory Culkin, as Culkin's character's deceased infant brother.Jkister (talk) 20:53, 3 January 2011 (UTC)

Randy Savage's ringbearer
According to this page, Culkin was the ringbearer for Randy and Elizabeth's wedding at WWF Summerslam in 1991.

I thought this was great and went to find the clip...yeah, I'm pretty sure that ringbearer is NOT Macaulay Culkin.

IMDb is not affiliated with, and neither endorses, nor is endorsed by Wikipedia or any of the authors who contributed to this article."  And if you look back in time at a 2010 version of the IMDB piece from archive.org, you can see that it doesn't look anything like our article, whereas a 2010 revision of our article looks basically the same as our article does today. --B (talk) 02:05, 8 August 2012 (UTC)

Remove Ringbearer at Randy Savage Wedding
In the career section this needs to be removed as it is not accurate.
 * "By then, Culkin was in high demand and was paid a reported $750,000 by the World Wrestling Federation to serve as the ring bearer in Macho Man Randy Savage's wedding to Miss Elizabeth at SummerSlam in 1991."

If you want proof the complete video is availalbe on YouTube. The young ring bearer is clearly not Macaulay Culkin. Takollar (talk) 19:12, 11 August 2012 (UTC)

Partner
At what point is it appropriate to remove Mila Kunis as Macaulay's partner? In my opinion it makes sense to list her while they were currently dating. A permanent listing as his "partner" would be unusual compared to other biography pages. I attempted to edit this to the person he was currently dating and my change was reverted. No problem, it then seems to make sense that the "partner" notation and wikilink to Mila is now unnecessary. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Infinoth (talk • contribs) 16:02, 3 January 2014 (UTC)

Why is Mila Kunis listed as his Partner? Mila Kunis is female, and Macaulay Culkin is not homosexual. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.181.48.114 (talk) 00:58, 10 November 2014 (UTC)

A message from old friends
Hi!, Macaulay you shall read this: Ezekiel Chapter 33

This might interest to you:


 * Ezekiel Chapter 33:12-15, The message of The Sentinel
 * Son of man, say to the members of your nation, "The uprightness of an upright person will not save him once he takes to wrong-doing; the wickedness of a wicked person will not ruin him once he renounces his wickedness. No one upright will be able to live on the strength of uprightness, having once taken to sinning. If I say to someone upright: You are to live, and then, trusting in this uprightness, he does wrong, none of the uprightness will be remembered; because of the wrong-doing, he will die. If, however, I say to someone wicked: You are to die, and he turns back from sin and does what is lawful and upright, if he returns pledges, restores what he has stolen, keeps the laws that give life and no longer does wrong, he will live and will not die...

I'm trying to add information on his podcast but I haven't edited anything in years and can't remember how to do anything. Could someone with more skill help me out here? I was looking at another podcast page for help but it didn't quite turn out right

The podcast has been out for over a year and seems like a notable venture of his.

Full disclosure I am a big fan of Bunny Ears, so I hope that doesn't violate any rules or anything. I have nothing to do with the production or distribution or anything.

Thank you! Bakudai (talk) 01:54, 26 March 2019 (UTC)

Name change:
He says he plans to change it, but there's no indication he has actually done so yet. And the whole thing could be a prank or stunt to get attention that he then doesn't follow through on. So wait for the time being. Harizotoh9 (talk) 18:05, 27 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Exactly. The article is protected, again. Please don't make edit requests for a change of his name unless you can provide a rreliable source showing that the change has actually happened. Meters (talk) 21:33, 12 January 2019 (UTC)

The name change is still not done. See https://www.insider.com/vote-macaulay-culkin-changing-his-middle-name-2018-11. The middle name should be reverted back. BaruMonkey (talk) 13:44, 7 August 2019 (UTC)
 * User:BaruMonkey, I updated the article with this source. The opening line lists his birth name, and there's a paragraph down in personal life that covers his intention to legally change it. —Aᴋʀᴀʙʙıᴍ talk 15:10, 7 August 2019 (UTC)

He changed his middle name to "Macaulay Culkin" in 2018. See the citation [1]. It's been widely reported. For whatever reason though people insist on reverting edits to his name, despite the citation being clearly visible. 209.52.88.76 (talk) 22:19, 19 September 2020 (UTC)

He didn't change his name in 2018. That's when he decided he was going to change it. As of February 2020 he had still not legally changed it. It has been legally changed now though. Halcyon grun Sproutz (talk) 23:51, 20 October 2020 (UTC)

Macaulay Culkin's name needs to be reverted to "Macaulay Macaulay Culkin Culkin" as this is his legal name. See the first two citations on the article. Any attempts to change his name back to anything else should be considered vandalism. Infernex94 (talk) 16:31, 6 January 2021 (UTC)

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macaulay_Culkin

In the “Personal Life” section at the end of the first paragraph, there is some unnecessary profanity.

The sentence is currently as follows:

In 2018, Culkin denied this, saying he had instead removed his parents' name from his trust fund and found an executor, "just in case anyone wanted to stick their fucking pinkie in the pie".

To be more encyclopedic, the profane quote could be omitted with no loss of information.

Change main image of Macaulay Culkin to a recent one, preferably from Culkin recieving his star in Hollywood’s Walk Of Fame in 2023. The reason is that Culkin had a drug problem around 2014 when the original image was released, and he’s better now. [] ECzop (talk) 08:51, 14 January 2024 (UTC)
