Merengue star Elvis Crespo has just given a new meaning to flying the friendly skies.

The Latin sensation was allegedly caught pleasing himself on a flight from Houston to Miami last week by a female passenger. Sometimes that in-flight movie can be so boring, you have to entertain yourself.

Crespo's private time, however, was interrupted when the blanket he was under shifted, giving the woman an unexpected look at his package. The woman told a flight attendant, who in turn, told the pilot.

"I don't recall doing that," said the 37-year old Crespo.

Police interviewed Crespo when the plane touched down, but the Puerto Rican singer was not charged with a crime.

Perhaps authorities felt the embarrassment was punishment enough.
