Paula Abdul had an attack of the crazies at an L.A. airport over the holiday period, it’s claimed.

It’s been a while since we’ve reported on the American Idol judge’s bizarre antics, but she’s apparently been saving it all up - if an eyewitness account of her “insane nervous breakdown” at LAX is to be believed.

A source tells Radar Online : "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."
