After the National Enquirer claimed Wednesday that the Home Alone actor is abusing heroin and prescription medication, his publicist released a statement slamming the report as completely false.

"The report in the National Enquirer that Macaulay Culkin is addicted to heroin and assorted hallucinogenics is not only categorically without merit, but it is also impossibly and ridiculously fictitious," the actor's rep told the Daily News.

According to the tabloid, which cites an unnamed "close friend" of the child star as their source, Culkin completely fell apart after his break up with Ted actress Mila Kunis and is now on a downward spiral with six months to live! The source also claims that the 31-year-old is now spending up to $6000 a month on drugs.

We sense a printed retraction is coming!
