Former child star Macaulay Culkin was the victim of a celebrity death hoax this weekend, with rumors of his death circulating the Internet. But the Home Alone star is very much alive, and on tour with his band The Pizza Underground (they rewrite Velvet Underground songs to make them about pizza. Seriously). No stranger to death hoaxes, Culkin took the rumors in stride, but not without having a little fun first. The band tweeted a photo of someone propping up Culkin's limp body, Weekend at Bernie's style.

They repeated this gag during their show at the Fun Fun Fun Fest in Austin, with Culkin being held up to the microphone.

While this isn't as epic as his Ryan Gosling T-shirt stunt from earlier this year, it's obvious that Culkin doesn't take himself too seriously. We wonder what he'll do for the next death hoax.
