Without Work, They’ll Have To Stay Home Alone
Macaulay Culkin’s mother has been temporarily awarded sole custody of the child star, his brother, Kieran, and four other siblings after accusing their father of trying to sabotage their acting careers.
The ruling clears the way for 12-year-old Kieran to start filming the movie “Amanda” in Montana next week.
Patricia Brentrup said Christopher Culkin, whom she never married, abandoned the family in March and has tried to keep Kieran out of the film. She added that agents “have informed me in no uncertain terms that if (Christopher) deliberately botches up this deal, no one in Hollywood will want to work with our children again.”
Christopher Culkin, who has a reputation in Hollywood for being difficult, could not be reached for comment.

She certainly spelled it out in black and white

Quick, somebody get her a booking with Leno
David Letterman fave Teri Garr, discussing her career with the “Late Show” host: “I was on a show with Delta Burke, and that wasn’t picked up. And last year I was on a show on CBS with somebody else Shelley Long - and that wasn’t picked up. So now I’m thinking this year I’m going to go on a show that’s already a hit like ‘ER’ or something and then just ride it into the ground.”
