ABDUL SPEAKS OUT ABOUT BROKEN NOSE
LATEST: PAULA ABDUL has spoken out for the first time since breaking her nose in a weekend fall, revealing she also fractured her toe.
The clumsy American Idol judge tripped over her pet chihuahua, Tulip, at home on Sunday (20May07) and is now nursing a series of bumps, bruises and breaks.
She tells U.S. news show Extra: "I took a nasty fall… trying not to hurt my dog… I tore cartilage… 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.
"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. I fractured my toe as well." But brave Abdul won’t be sitting out of the Idol finale tonight (22May07) and tomorrow (23May07).
Fellow judge Simon Cowell says, "We’ll have a huge bowl of ice just to make sure the swelling isn’t too bad." The British music mogul admits he has yet to speak to Abdul about her mishap - because she literally can’t get to the phone.
He adds, "Apparently, she can’t get close to the phone because of what’s on her nose. That’s what I’ve heard."
