A video of the Baylor University Men’s Choir breaking into song on an international flight is going, ahem, “coconuts” on Facebook.
Seventy five members of the student group gave an impromptu musical performance complete with choreography as the other passengers disembarked an Emirates Airline flight. “It was a spontaneous performance for the crew,” says a representative for Emirates. The airline’s video post has over 1.2 million views.
Their song of choice is Da Coconut Nut by Filipino musician and composer Ryan Cayabyab.

Patricia Neal, the Oscar-winning actress whose life was as dramatic and inspirational as anything she did on stage and screen, died Sunday of lung cancer at her home in Edgartown, Mass. She was 84.
Most identifiable playing characters of strong will and resilience, Neal won her Academy Award for her portrayal of a demoralized housewife in "Hud" (1963), opposite Paul Newman, then earned another nomination for "The Subject Was Roses" (1968), playing the pitiful mother of a returning war victim (Martin Sheen).
In February 1965, after the first day of filming "Seven Women," Neal -- then 39 and three months pregnant -- suffered three strokes caused by a brain hemorrhage as she was bathing to her 8-year-old daughter, Tessa. She was in a coma for three weeks.
She emerged unable to speak, her memory erased and her right side paralyzed. Neal was confined to a wheelchair at first, but her husband, British writer Roald Dahl,...

Knowing
Forget Nostradamus. In this Nick Cage flick, a young girl in the '50s draws a picture of numbers for a time capsule. Fifty years later, when the contents are examined, it turns out that those numbers indicate the dates, death tolls, and coordinates of major disasters, and a few haven't happened yet! But it's not exactly the doomsday flick fans would hope for. In his review, Jeffrey M. Anderson says: "rather than becoming a comfortable hybrid between a small, smart movie and a big, dumb movie, Knowing became a horrible mutation, bulging out in all the wrong places, with unsightly scars where the butcher's knife had been." Skip it. Also on Blu-ray.

Push
Not every Dakota Fanning movie is a shocker of a drama. In this psychic espionage thriller, she plays a "watcher" and one of the psychic rogues determined to end a creepy government agency.

Billy Ray Cyrus is not worried about his troubled pal Heather Locklear - insisting she will "weather the storm" following her recent arrest.
The singer-turned-actor - who stars with Locklear in upcoming movie Flying By - spoke out after the actress was arrested on suspicion of DUI in Los Angeles last week.
Tests later showed the former Dynasty star had not been drinking alcohol, and police believe she might have been under the influence of prescription drugs.
But Cyrus insists Locklear will bounce back from her recent troubles, because she is a "survivor".
He tells Entertainment Tonight, "My thoughts and prayers are with Heather and her little girl. They'll weather the storm.
"Anytime you're in the entertainment business you're going to have peaks and valleys. She's a survivor and she's going to be fine. She's going to be right back on top. I want her to know the Cyrus family is here, we love her and we're going to be standing right by her side."...

Latest: The director of Heather Locklear's latest film has attributed the actress' recent driving arrest to the pressures of her "showbiz" lifestyle.
The 47-year-old was detained by police in Santa Barbara, California, on Saturday and booked on charges of driving under the influence (DUI) and being under the influence of a controlled substance. She was released on Sunday without posting bail.
But police tests showed that the star had not been drinking at the time, and it is believed she was under the influence of prescription medication - thought to be related to her recent stint in rehab seeking treatment for anxiety and depression.
And moviemaker Jim Amatulli, who worked with Locklear on new film Flying By, insists that it is not unusual for actresses to suffer from such disorders - as female stars in Hollywood are under increasing stress by being in the public eye.
He tells the New York Daily News, "It is very easy to see the effects of the 'showbiz' environment, and the stress it puts on relationships and families. Add to that the pressure that women face as they get older and roles narrow, with so much 'value' put on superficial elements, it's sad to watch the results play out."
And Amatulli is adamant that Locklear's arrest will not affect promotion of her new film, which also stars Billy Ray Cyrus and is due for release in early 2009.
He adds, "(The arrest will not have) any immediate affects.
"Naturally, I wish Heather the best and feel certain that she has the support of her close friends and business associates to work through whatever her issues are."...
