Paula Abdul breaks her nose by tripping over her ... no, that can't be right!

Will Paula be able to make American Idol with a broken nose?I know that we kid around a bit here at TV Squad when it comes to talking about TV personalities, especially when it comes to our favorite judges over at American Idol. However, I swear that we are not pulling your chain with this next story.

According to TMZ American Idol judge Paula Abdul broke her nose over the weekend when she tripped over her, er, her dog, which would be a, um, a chihuahua named Tulip. It seems that Paula was trying to step over the little runt to avoid smashing it (rather than, perhaps, pushing it aside with her pinky toe) and smashed her nose instead. According to a spokesperson for Abdul she was not hospitalized for the injury. It is unknown at the time whether this will prevent her from appearing on the live season finale of American Idol.

Folks, you just can't make this stuff up on your own!

Why do so many people find it questionable that she tripped over a chihuahua ? I have a pug and a great dane and the pug is always getting in front of me.

Paula is an over comer who lives her despite a horrible disease called Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (RSD). This disease causes constant, unbearable pain and causes many people with the disease to be wheelchair and/or bed bound. The fact she walks and smiles through the pain is inspiring to those of us that live with this disease. She has not made this a cause and has simply accepted it as a part of her life she must deal with. She quietly takes her pain medications and goes about her life! For that I am amazed! She is a remarkable lady....She allows people to say she has alcohol and drug problems when really the only problem she has is a pain problem for which there is no cure. this is a fact those of us with RSD must wake up knowing every morning...but we must also awake praying and thanking God for the good days when we can do the things we love to do. Paula is an inspiration to me and when I read unkind words about her it angers me. People should become more educated before they simply speak out of turn. A good web site to visit is www.RSDhope.org to find out more about this disease.

Actually, the dog did trip her, but only because she was trying to drink the tequila out of Tulip's bowl. Note to Paula, Get your own Jose Cuervo !!!!!!!!!!!!

Keep it up you guys. Remember what goes around comes around. Things aren't always what they appear to be, and no not one of us is perfect. So she has had some bad days. haven't anyone of you had some of those days?

Maybe she was running away from Simon - he looks at her like he wants to jump her bones. You can feel the sexual attraction the way he looks at her. They would be a cute couple & their "frick & frack" banter on the show adds to the boring, repetitave comments from Randy.

I keep reading that Paula takes pain meds for her back pain. That stuff can make you half goofy, slur your words, trip over your doggie or just plain fall on your chops. Give a very nice person a break.

I suppose it could have happened that way. But until I hear confirmation from Tulip's publicist, I'm choosing not to believe it.:)
