Paula Abdul is known as the “nice” judge on ‘American Idol’ but after this story, you might be rethinking that idea.

You see, Paula attempted to get star treatment on a recent Southwest flight from San Jose to Burbank, but encountered a problem when she was told there was no first class section on the plane.

“She asked to be let on the plane and seated first,” a witness told Star. When Paula was told that only young children, people with disabilities and the elderly were allowed to board early, she blasted, “But I’m famous! I need to go on first!”

Proving that the public does not view Paula as the diva she thinks she is, passengers began calling her out for her actions. “You’re no Sanjaya! You have to board like everyone else,” one reportedly yelled.

You’ll have to excuse my Paula. The combination of a high blood alcohol content and increasing altitudes causes adverse reactions. After a few painkillers and numerous shots of whiskey, Paula returned to her seat and resumed life as the lovably unintelligeable lush.
