[edit] 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
[edit] 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)

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.
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.
[edit] Junior
Is it right that Culkin is about to publish a book named Junior? and if so, why isn't it mentioned in the article?
- He has published a book, and I'm about to make a page about it, and update this page. --Hugh 06:21, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
- OK, I've made the page, and linked to it in the career section. --Hugh 08:45, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] 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) • 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 [1]. I don't see your reasoning here. --TeaDrinker 02:30, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
I've added a Home Alone Picture--Rubberchix 17:36, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
oh i didn't know, i got it off the home alone page --81.110.2.1 16:09, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] 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&DestinyLaughed 13:59, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
- Upon further inspection, I'd put forward that, of those listed, only Home Alone is notable. -FateSmiled&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)
[edit] 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)
[edit] 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.
[edit] 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!

According to the New York Culkin Times and Culkin Online, he was an avid supporter of English soccer team West Ham FC while spending time in London restarting his career. I haven't heard any more information about the topic after he returned to the States, but was wondering if it was relevant enough to include in the Private life section.
