Paula Abdul loves her pet chihuahua, Tulip, so much that she sacrificed herself to avoid hurting the dog. Apparently, the pup narrowly escaped being stepped on but this near-miss ended with Paula tripping and breaking her nose on Saturday.
The ever-dedicated American Idol judge will not miss the last two shows of the season. Her rep, David Brokaw said that “she went to the doctor and she did break her nose, but she’s moving on and doing great. She looks terrific. If you didn’t know she broke her nose, you’d never guess anything happened to her… She is in pain. No question about that, but she’s standing 10 feet from me and you’d never know anything happened to her. There are no bandages. She’s got some bruises on her arms and on one of her legs.”
Her dog was unharmed. Paula told People magazine that “[Tulip] has no remorse. She just stared at me.”

Poor Paula
That sucks… the lengths some people will go to to save their pets!
