Paula Abdul's Airport Flip-out

EXTRA BAGGAGE Abdul
Paula Abdul, the braying, oft-drunk judge of landmark cultural institution American Idol, caused quite the scene at LAX over the holidays, according to a source. Says a tipster who saw her in the Continental Airlines terminal: "She had an insane nervous breakdown that lasted 10 minutes. 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."

There were no cameras around, so she wasn't filming a scene for her train wreck reality show on Bravo. Still, hysterical outbursts aren't exactly new territory for Abdul. Anyone have an idea what prompted this one? Or who Michael, Sidney, and Leslie might be? Let us know!

Comments

Michael, Sidney and Leslie are probably her dealers.

isn't it interested how the rich and famous seem to have more issues than the 'normal person' yet we seek every day to be more famous in our own little world of influence, whether it be in a simple relationship, group of people, work, social setting etc. When we hear of this kind of thing do we every sit back and say why do I keep seeking more money myself ? why do i keep trying to improve my external image? Its because we all want to be needed and loved and we'll pay a dear price to get it even when it consistently fails us. Paula Abdul is just like you and I and probably the only difference is she has more issues and they are compounded by her fame and inability to cope with it.

Whats interesting to me is that nobody has a picture of this. In this day and age of cell phone cameras with video I find it hard to believe this really went down as portrayed and nobody has video of it.

Sounds like a lame attempt at feeling important by the person reporting it.
