As Paula Abdul prepares to judge the seventh season of ‘American Idol’ and hit the airwaves soon, the former pop star’s behavior is beginning to make headlines again. A source tells Radar Online that the 45 year old caused a scene at the Continental Airlines terminal inside Los Angels International Airport over the holidays.
“She had an insane nervous breakdown that lasted 10 minutes,” the tipster revealed. “One minute she was hyperventilating and on the verge of passing out; the next she was yelling into her cell phone in this deep, rage-filled Poltergeist voice. She kept screaming three names over and over – Michael, Sidney, and Leslie. Everyone was staring at her, but she didn’t care.” Fortunately for Abdul, there were no cameras around. ‘American Idol’ premieres next Tuesday on FOX.
