Even though she hit a rough patch in her life, today she is doing great and working hard to stay sober. 

Child star gone bad: Macaulay Culkin

Starting out his career in three famous movies, Macaulay Culkin started his career young and ended out at the bottom. His most famous role in Uncle Buck made him the most famous kid in his generation, then there was Home Alone and My Girl that put his fame over the edge. With these roles under his belt, his celebrity status made things available to him that weren't necessarily good.

Culkin started doing drugs at an early age and was arrested in   2004 for obsession of marijuana and other prescription drugs. Before this he married Rachel Miner in 1998, and soon divorced in 2000. This was the first sign something was going to go wrong.  After Culkin became known as a party animal on drugs he disappeared out of the spot light. 

With Culkin's removal out of the spot he was seen quite a bit with Mila Kunis. They allegedly dated from 2002-2011.  Then out of no where when Michael Jackson was on trial for molestation charges, Culkin testified on Jackson's behalf saying the charges were outrageous. Culkin is named godfather to some of Jackson's children.

 Culkin now, stays out of the spotlight and makes rare appearances, such as this year in mid October he spoke at New York's Comic Con. Hopefully Culkin will make a comeback either in front of the camera or on stage.
