Is Sanjaya bigger than American Idol?

Apparently irritated and twitchy (out of Vicodin?) Paula Abdul tried to pull the diva act on a Southwest Airlines flight out of San Jose only to be snubbed by the flight attendants and the passengers.

“She pulled a major diva trip,” one “eyewitness” told Star magazine. “The other passengers were not amused.”

When the plane began boarding Paula demanded to be let on first, expecting first class treatment even though the flight did not have a first class section.  When she was told that only children, the elderly and special needs passengers could board first she replied, “but I’m famous!  I need to go on first!”

“You’re no Sanjaya! You have to board like everyone else.” That, according to the source, prompted a round of laughter from the others — except Abdul.

According the witnesses once boarding began Abdul pushed her way to the front and boarded first anyway.  Taking up a seat and trying to keep people from sitting next to her by telling them the seat was taken.  Finally an attendant had to tell Abdul that the flight was full and she would actually have to sit next to someone.

Paula Abdul forced to sit next to just someone?  You’re in our prayers girl.
