Macaulay Culkin Smoke Alone Too
Macaulay Culkin racked up even more "me time" during an introspective smoke and stroll ... while sporting his best grandpa sweater Monday in NYC.

'Twilight' Star Sues You Trashed My Recording Studio!!!
"Twilight" co-star Jackson Rathbone claims he thought he was getting a studio in Studio City ... but he got a dirty shell from the unscrupulous sellers.
Rathbone bought a $1.2 million spread, which he insists included a recording studio that was up and running when he made the offer. But when he moved in, the actor claims the sellers had gutted the studio. To add insult to injury, he says the sellers turned the front lawn into a garbage heap.

A rep for the sellers had no comment.
Jackson wants more than $50k to get what he claims is what he bargained for.
