Nurse!

As we reported earlier, Southampton Village P.D. responded when Madonna took her nasty spill this weekend in the Hamptons, but no one told them anything about a photographer startling her horse -- the tale Madonna's camp was telling people Saturday night.

Cops who took the report about Madonna falling off a horse over the weekend doubt the singer's story that a paparazzo jumped out of the bushes and spooked the horse.

The cops say no one from Madonna's camp said anything about a photog causing the mishap.

Sgt. Herbert Johnson from the Southampton Village P.D. tells us: "There is no mention of photographers. It's a matter of spin control that went out of control. If they felt there was something else, they would have written 'paparazzi' in the form -- if they felt there was a problem."

The 25-year-old former singer dragged her golden brown rotting limb around the beach in St. Lucia this weekend.

Amy should use protection ... against herself.

The paparazzo who claims he was the only pap around when Madonna fell off her horse on Saturday says he isn't to blame for her fall -- and he claims Madonna's peeps are straight up lying about what went down.

We spoke with the photog who tells us he shot Madonna before and after she fell -- but was not there for the actual fall. He tells us he took pics of her riding and then left. About 30 minutes later, he says he got a tip about an ambulance being sent out for a 50-year-old woman -- so he put two and two together and went back to snap pics of her being tended to.

He says all his photos were taken from a public road and the only other photog around was Stephen Klein -- the famous photographer whose house Madonna was at.

As Hinton put it, "If I had startled the horse, I would have gotten pictures!"

Madonna fell off her horse while horseback riding in the Hamptons this afternoon and was taken to a local hospital.

The Material Mom's injuries were not considered serious, the NY Post is reporting, but she was taken to the hospital for precautionary reasons.

Madonna was at the home of photographer Steven Klein at the time, according to the paper. She was reportedly wearing full riding gear, including a helmet, when she fell.

Back in 2005, Madonna fell while riding in London on her birthday -- she suffered several broken bones.

UPDATE -- Madonna's camp blames the whole incident on a paparazzo. Her rep released a statement that says, "Madonna who was thrown off a horse earlier today has just been released from Southampton Hospital with minor injuries and bruises ... The accident occurred when the horse Madonna was riding was startled by paparazzi who jumped out of the bushes to photograph the singer who was visiting friends on Eastern Long Island over the weekend. Madonna will be having further tests and continues to remain under observation by doctors."

Jim Carrey called it when Jenny fell leaving Katsuya in Hollywood last night, saying: "This is gonna be everywhere tomorrow."

You're welcome, Jim.

Looking like the ghost of Lilo past, Lily Allen crashed in the backseat of a car outside the Chateau Marmont early Friday morning.

We're sure it's just coincidence that Lindsay was onstage with Lily just hours earlier.

Afterward the undead duo slathered formaldehyde onto their cadavers and worked on their untans.

It's not what you're thinking ... dude got punched in the face.

Josh Hartnett was taken to Cedars-Sinai hospital early this morning, ending his night at the Chateau Marmont in West Hollywood.

The 911 call came in at 12:53 AM and the caller said abdominal pains were the issue.

The ambulance picked up Josh at about 2:00 AM. He walked on his own power -- no stretcher was needed.

Just before the crash, Knight was stopped at a stop sign. Cops say he should not have entered the intersection because it wasn't clear of traffic -- they say he ran into the other car, sending a woman to the hospital. The male in the car also complained of minor injuries.

Knight will not be ticketed because it's not LAPD policy to ticket on infractions that aren't committed in their presence.
