Oh, Paula:

A spokesperson for Paula Abdul confirmed to “Extra” that over the weekend, Abdul tripped trying to avoid her Chihuahua, Tulip.

As a result of the fall, the “American Idol” judge broke her nose.

The spokesperson told “Extra” that contrary to reports, Paula was not hospitalized.

No word on what she’s been prescribed in order to deal with the pain. Seriously, though, this has to be a ratings ploy for tomorrow night’s show, right? Right?
