"American Idol" judge Paula Abdul "had an insane nervous breakdown" at Los Angeles International Airport over the holidays, according to a report on radaronline.com.
A tipster who saw her in the Continental Airlines terminal told the site: "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," the tipster continued.
