BREAKING: Paula Abdul has broken her nose... trying to avoid stepping on her pet Chihuahua! (PETA members do not fret: the dog was unhurt).

This occured over the weekend, and she'll return to work tomorrow to tape American Idol. She is reportedly a little sore, but otherwise doing fine:

Abdul told TVs "Extra" that she tore cartilage on her nose, fractured her toe and bruised her arm and chest all because of her -- quote -- "little chubby Tulip."

Remember the Taco Bell dog? "Yo quiero Taco Bell!" was a worldwide sensation, resulting in endless variations of "yo quiero [something or other]". That was pretty good. The latest from the chain is not good at all, featuring badly-done lions watching a group of campers eating Mexican food (on the savannah, in Africa).

BTW: the only reason the lions didn't attack the campers is because they'd just finished off the Taco Bell dog.
