| Will Culkin Reveal Jackson Secrets On UK Show?
Actor MACAULAY CULKIN has signed up to be a contestant on the new series of British reality show CELEBRITY BIG BROTHER - and TV bosses are hoping he will reveal all about his friendship with MICHAEL JACKSON.
The HOME ALONE star, 25, was reportedly picked because of his troubled childhood and his relationship with pop star Jackson who was acquitted of child abuse charges last year (05).
A source at network Channel 4 tells British newspaper the Daily Star, "This is a great coup for us. And because of his friendship with Michael Jackson, you're almost getting two for the price of one.
"We were desperate to bag Macaulay because we want some big name Americans who will be controversial and have a chequered history.
"And he fits the bill nicely because so much has happened to him in his young life.
"But more importantly he has been privy to Jackson's private world at Neverland."

| Michael Jackson Memorabilia Lawsuit Tossed Out Of Federal Court
POSTED: 4:32 pm PST January 4, 2006 UPDATED: 6:33 pm PST January 4, 2006
LOS ANGELES -- A lawsuit Michael Jackson filed two years ago against a New Jersey man over Jackson memorabilia shown on a pay-per-view Web site was tossed out because he stopped pursuing it, court papers showed Wednesday.
The entertainer had alleged in his lawsuit against Henry V. Vaccaro that at least some of items displayed still belonged to him, and Vaccaro had no right to them. U.S. District Judge Florence-Marie Cooper had acted on the allegations by issuing a court order barring Vaccaro from displaying or selling the items while the case was pending.
It was unclear late Wednesday how the dismissal order would affect the possible display of the items -- including costumes, letters, court papers and pictures.
The items had been in an Oxnard storage facility, and were sold as part of a bankruptcy proceeding involving Jackson's parents and two brothers, Tito and Jermaine, Jackson's lawsuit stated. An attorney for Vaccaro, Edgar Pease III, said after a court hearing in March 2004 that his client had paid about $25,000 for the items.
They were cataloged and displayed on a Web site that promised "the MOST juicy information" about Michael, Janet, Latoya and the rest of the Jackson family.
Although the court order barred Vaccaro from selling the items, several news outlets reported in 2002 that before the order was issued, Vaccaro had already sold some items to a European buyer.
A call placed to a Jackson representative was not immediately returned late today, and an attorney who had represented Jackson in the matter said he was no longer involved in the case.
Jackson had sought at least $10 million from Vaccaro.
