Madonna falls and blames paps

Madonna hasn't had the best run of luck recently, not long after she was refused the right to adopt little Mercy, she has now taken a tumble off a horse.

The Material Girl was riding in Long Island this weekend when the accident happened. Her injuries are not serious but her doctors have said that they are keeping an eye on her to make sure there are no complications.

Her publicist has blamed the fall on the paparazzi saying that they jumped out of the bushes and spooked the horse.

However the NY Post, who have the exclusive pics of Madonna and the fall, claim that that wasn't the case at all.

"There were no photographers near Madonna at the time of the stumble. The Material Mom, who suffered broken bones in a similar accident three years ago, was leaping over hurdles on a brown steed on the East End spread when she bit the dust just before 4:30 p.m. In the wake of the titanic tumble, more than 10 people, including her Brazilian boy toy Jesus Luz, 22, rushed to her side. Rescue workers, who arrived minutes later, scooped up the "Like a Virgin" songstress and gingerly carried her on a backboard to a waiting ambulance, which raced to Southampton Hospital."
