Former child star Macaulay Culkin could give evidence at Michael Jackson's child sex trial today.
Security has been stepped up at the Santa Maria courthouse amid rumours the Home Alone actor will make an appearance.
Culkin is expected to deny claims that Jackson fondled him in 1991.
A spokesman for the pop star said: "I do expect he will come eventually."
In the 1990s, Culkin was among the young boys who would regularly visit Jackson's Neverland ranch.
Like two others who testified last week, he has admitted to sharing Jackson's bed, but denies anything untoward happened.
Last month, a former chef at Jackson's Neverland ranch testified that he saw the pop idol put his hand inside Culkin's shorts in 1991.
On Tuesday, Jackson's ranch manager Joseph Marcus acknowledged Culkin was among those with whom Jackson developed "special bonds" at the time
The 46-year-old singer denies sexually abusing a boy of 13, serving him alcohol and conspiring to hold him and his family captive.
