Monkey star spotted on LAX flight

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 4 (UPI) -- Passengers on a flight from Los Angeles got a rare celebrity sighting: Crystal, the monkey star of "Night at the Museum" and "The Hangover Part II."

Crystal posed smiling for pictures Saturday on American Airlines Flight 114 to Newark, N.J., accompanied by handler Tom Gunderson, the Los Angeles Times reported.

Gunderson said the 17-year-old primate star does not have to show a photo ID when boarding flights, but does have to present her CITES -- certificate of international trade of endangered species. Gunderson added that capuchin monkeys are not endangered.
