Macaulay Culkin, a close friend of Michael Jackson and the star of the Home Alone movies revealed in a recent interview how an undisclosed group of people allegedly connected to Sony Music approached him and his mother in 1993 and offered them a large sum of money to publicly claim that he had been s£xually abused by Michael Jackson, who was facing ch!ld mol£station allegations at the time.
“I vividly remember a night in 1993 when a group of people came to our home claiming they were connected to Sony Music. I don’t really want to mention names, but they said they were part of the company. They offered me and my mom a large amount of money around a million dollars or more to testify against Michael Jackson and claim that he had s£xually abused me during my time at the Neverland Ranch. They told me it was the right thing to do because they believed Michael Jackson was a dangerous person. I immediately told them no! because why would they want me to do something like that to a man who was my best friend at the time and had never harmed me? My mom actually told me to consider accepting the offer because she thought it could be beneficial for us, and she wondered if Michael might have done something without me knowing. But even though I was young at the time, I completely rejected the offer, and they eventually left.”
He also added that, looking back on the situation, he believes he understands why those allegations were being made against Michael Jackson. He claimed it was connected to a dispute involving Sony Music and Michael Jackson’s ownership stake, including his interest in the Beatles catalog. He alleged that the accusations were part of an effort to pressure Jackson into giving up his assets.

That's a wrap on The Resurrection of the Christ — Mel Gibson's long-awaited sequel to The Passion of the Christ.
After a massive 134-day shoot across Italy, director Mel Gibson took a microphone on set to personally thank the cast and crew for completing principal photography on the film, which has been over 20 years in development.
The audio captured him saying:
"Since I'm all yours here and I've got a microphone... I just want to tell you all thank you so much for all your efforts, your support, your sacrifice, your love, the encouragements all through, the prayers and intercessions, thank you all for everything great and everything “small”, in the end it was all worth it.
Now it’s time to make sure the Lord gets glorified in all of this."
