In a new twist to the Michael Jackson case, Macaulay Culkin has confessed to sleeping with Jackson.

Not in the tabloid-friendly sense of the phrase, however.

According to Femalefirst.co.uk, Culkin added that his parents didn't see it as 'an issue' and branded rumours he was abused by Jackson as 'absolutely ridiculous'.

'I knew my parents knew I was in that room. Sometimes my father would wake us up. He didn't really seem to have a problem as far as I remember,' he was quoted as saying.

The Home Alone star said despite the fact that he and Jackson shared a bed frequently, he was never touched inappropriately.

He added that the bed-sharing stopped when he was about 14.
