Paula Abdul broke her nose over the weekend after she fell while trying to avoid stepping on her Chihuahua, her publicist said Monday.
Abdul was recovering from the mishap and will appear on "American Idol" Tuesday and its season finale Wednesday, publicist David Brokaw said.
"She's a little sore, but is doing fine," he said.
Abdul told the syndicated entertainment TV show "Extra" she tore cartilage in her nose and fractured her toe.
"I took a nasty fall ... trying not to hurt my dog. I bruised myself on my arm ... my chest, my waist all the way down to my hip. All from my little chubby Tulip," Abdul said.
The dog was not hurt, Brokaw said.
She really needs to start wearing a helmet.

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 and is now nursing a series of bumps, bruises and breaks.
She tells 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 and tomorrow.
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."

Yeah, she was drugged up. Obviously from painkillers...but like you said, she always seems like that.
