Paula Abdul suffered a broken nose over the weekend after tripping in an effort to avoid her chihuahua, Tulip. Abdul's spokesman told, she is in good spirits after her fall last Saturday.

"As we speak, she's in a car on her way to press tour for the finale of Idol," he explained, adding that the only treatment the Idol judge received was a quick check-up from her doctor.

Paula has also said herself, "[I] tore cartilage. I took a nasty fall... trying not to hurt my dog. I bruised myself on my arm, that's nothing... my chest, my waist all the way down to my hip. All from my little chubby Tulip." Looking back on the incident, Abdul explains "The dog, I saw her... I just remember saying 'Oh my God, I'm going to do a face plant!' It hurt so bad! I screamed like a little baby would scream," she said of the pain. "I fractured my toe as well."
