LOS ANGELES - Paula Abdul broke her nose over the weekend after she fell while trying to avoid stepping on her Chihuahua, her publicist said Monday.

Abdul was recovering from the mishap and will appear on "American Idol" Tuesday and its season finale Wednesday, publicist David Brokaw said.

"She's a little sore, but is doing fine," he said.

Abdul told the syndicated entertainment TV show "Extra" she tore cartilage in her nose and fractured her toe.

"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.

The dog was not hurt, Brokaw said.

In college I use to build shows and I work at a rotating dinner theater. We had to remove anything the dances could trip over. They are graceful on stage but they are the biggest klutzes off stage.

So, another nose job?

Or did she just fall face down in the gutter this time?

I believe the dog was a “Jack Daniels Terrier”.

Drinking and dog walking don't mix.

Does this mean that Paula's going to wear one of those Geraldo nose bandages?

You're a snar!

LOL!

I had no idea that “Mohito” was a breed of dog.

Good thing for her that she didn't have a pair of Chihuahua's.

I was stepping-down from a ladder when my roomate's cat ran directly underneath my foot. I would've crushed its skull.

I received one of the strangest bruises when I fell. It ran from my hip to my knee.

Paula starts off with a chihuahua, ends up with a pug-nose...

I guess she should learn to Chihuahuawatch her step!

P.S.re:Your pic... Wook it’s Chihuawa Wivewa!

[Majie Purple]

Day omit!
I meant to type,
Wook, it’s Chihualdo Wivera!
or how ‘bout:
Where’s Chihualdo?

;O)

-after watching some documentary on her -here’s a multicpble choice:

a)bad back problems prevented her from avoiding the fall
b)popping too many pills with booze
c)it is all a lie, never happened
d)nose job gone bad
