Macaulay Culkin no show at DJ gig
Former child star Macaulay Culkin cancelled his monthly DJ gig in New York at the last minute on Thursday night (09Feb12) amid media speculation over his gaunt appearance.
The Home Alone actor's representative was forced to brush off fears for his health this week (09Feb12) after images emerged showing him looking frail.
The spokesperson insisted Culkin is in "perfectly good health", but
the star decided to bail out of his DJ gig at Le Poisson Rouge
hours later, instead dropping off his iPod for staff to play at the
event.
An employee from the venue tells People.com, "He's here all the
time. He comes pretty often. Something just came up and he couldn't
make it. But he did drop off his iPod... It's a shame he's not
here, because he always plays really good music."
A representative for Culkin subsequently reiterated the earlier
statement when approached for a comment about his no-show, telling
E! News, "The massive media attention towards the status of Mr.
Culkin's health is unnecessary but duly noted."
