Following images of a very gaunt looking Macaulay Culkin on the streets of NYC this year (if you’re wondering, he DJs now… with his iPod), many wondered if the former child star had fallen into the similar traps of his predecessors with drug usage.

The National Enquirer ended up running that story (his choice of drug was apparently heroin) and now, his rep tells TMZ that the reports are “not only categorically without merit, but it is also impossibly and ridiculously fictitious.”

He also spoke to other media outlets, telling them not to “consider the source and its reputation and to please not perpetuate this destructive and insulting story by pursuing it any further.”

But that DJ-ing with an iPod thing… OK, OK. He’s not getting high. Sure.
