Macaulay Culkin to join cast of Big Love...

Macaulay Culkin (who will turn 30 this summer) has been out of the lime light for a while now. After the cancellation of his NBC series Kings last year (what NBC show doesn't get cancelled?), he has been taking it easy. But it seems that may soon be changing as rumors are swirling that he will soon be joining the cast of HBO's Big Love.

Culkin is good friends with Chloe Sevigny and has been visiting her on the set of the hit show. Apparently this has the cast and crew excited, and they now want him to join! Co-creator Will Scheffer says, "We're interested in him... We can see him (on the show)." and Big Love star Bill Paxton can't wait: "He'd make a great young evangelist."

After his strong work in Party Monster and Saved!, it would be nice to see him play another grown-up role.
