can there be any truth to Paula Abdul breaks nose in dog mishap? I gave up on American Idol a couple of seasons ago, but I did see Paula on Letterman not too long ago where she made an effort to defuse the rumor that she was baked on the show.
I just wonder how many people are now going to have a new excuse for “I cut myself shaving” and the like.
My first thought was “Way to defuse the ‘I’m a drunk’ rumors, Paula!”
OTOH – I do know someone who seriously fucked up her back tripping over an ottoman, and every pet owner has done the “oops, I’m trying not step on you” dance more than once.
But no, this is right up there with Hasselhoff cutting himself shaving a few months ago.
I have to admit that some of my worst injuries to myself have come from trying to be cool and avoiding something simple like spilling something only to fall down and sprain something or scratch something. And I have avoided stepping on critters before only to wind up falling or otherwise embarrassing myself.
But, come on. These publicists must not even watch sitcoms.
I bet we can come up with less lame excuses for some obvious damage done to ourselves or by a loved one we’d rather not incriminate (for whatever reason).
Like:
I was loading my shotgun and it went off and blew down the chandelier which fell on my foot.
I can believe it, however I agree that it’s unfortunate that it was Paula Abdul because it makes it a lot harder to believe there wasn’t a substance involved.
