Paula Abdul breaks her Nose

Trying to avoid tripping on her pet Chihuahua, Paula Abdul fell and broke her nose yesterday afternoon. However, she is recovering from the mishap and will appear on Tuesday for the American Idol season finale.

"I took a nasty fall ... trying not to hurt my dog. I bruised myself on my arm ... my chest, my waist all the way down to my hip. All from my little chubby Tulip," Abdul said.

Her publicist, David Brokaw insists that even though she's a little sore, she's doing fine. However, on the bright side, Abdul's pet Chihuahua was not harmed or killed by her fall.
