No One Would Mistake Mac For The Good Son
When Macaulay Culkin and his brothers are home alone on a Saturday night, it can mean only one thing: party time!
The 15-year-old film star and his 12-year-old actor brother, Kieran, subjects of a bitter custody battle, threw a beer bash one recent weekend in the apartment they share, the New York Post reported Monday.
Six siblings ages 6 to 19 live with their mother in three apartments in the same building. A nanny looks after the three younger children, a neighbor said, “but the older boys have no supervision.”
Mom Patricia Brentrup and the children’s father, Kit Culkin, who were never married, are braced for a trial starting Dec. 4 to settle who should win permanent custody - and professional control - over their profitable brood.
Loose Talk
Chaka Kahn, on her lifestyle (in Essence magazine): “I try to do things in a way that won’t embarrass me, even though I have some major embarrassments already that I can look back on. … I don’t even know what they all are, but I know there are quite a few.”
Suppose she still has that animal magnetism?

Tonya’s is the kind that doesn’t age well
Shawn Eckardt, Tonya Harding’s 300-pound former bodyguard, Friday became the last person convicted in the Nancy Kerrigan knee-bashing conspiracy to be freed from prison. Eckardt, who described the food behind bars as “indescribable,” immediately went in search of pancakes but said he had no plans to look up Harding: “It would be a dreadful state of affairs having to listen to her whine again.”
Next, she’ll be mainlining Mallomars
Martha Stewart experienced a new culinary treat at a recent lunch at Barbra Streisand’s place. As a fellow guest, hotel bigwig Skip Bronson, told People magazine: “Barbra served us her favorite dessert, which was angel food cake with Cool Whip. And Martha loved it. ‘I’ve never had Cool Whip before,’ she told Barbra. ‘It’s not bad.”’
It’s guaranteed to make somebody mad
Paul Reiser says his hit sitcom “Mad About You” could use some spicing up. “I look forward to making it a little edgier and getting them at least on the brink of … I hate the word ‘affair,’ but the brink of something: a dalliance or a temptation thereof,” he told TV Guide. “Everyone goes through that in some form, and I’ve never really seen it done on TV realistically.”
The important thing is to stay focused
David Duchovny, FBI agent Fox Mulder on Fox’s “X-Files,” isn’t quite comfortable being a TV star. “Being photographed gives you a certain energy in other people’s eyes, a certain buzz,” he told Entertainment Weekly. “I’m the focus of millions of eyes every Friday night because the camera is photographing me. That changes the way people see me. But it has nothing to do with me; it has to do with the camera.”
