The pop tart, who has missed tour dates this spring due to a bum knee and an unspecified illness, was on the disabled list again after undergoing arthroscopic knee surgery Wednesday in New York.
It appeared as if the knee that went under the knife was the same one that buckled under Spears during a dance routine March 18 on stage in Moline, Illinois. To Reuters, a spokesman referred to the current problem as being the result of "an old dance injury."
Per a statement from Jive Records, Spears' most recent mishap occurred precisely at 11:30 p.m. Tuesday as she did her thing, for the purposes of a music-video shoot, under the tracks of the L train in the picturesque New York City borough of Queens.
"She was immediately taken to a local hospital where she received an MRI scan. It was discovered by the doctors on call that she has floating cartilage in her knee," the singer's record label said.
The statement did not say--and a message left with Spears' Jive rep was not returned Wednesday--how long, if at all, the "Oops" singer will be laid up.
Spears' star-crossed Onyx Hotel tour, which opened for business in March, was scheduled to resume June 22 in Hartford, Connecticut. Upcoming dates include a June 29 gig in Cleveland, which was to be a made-good on a previously canceled concert.
The March 18 injury, suffered as she performed a song perhaps appropriately titled "(I Got That) Boom Boom," forced Spears to cancel dates in Chicago and Detroit.
On April 1, she nixed her originally scheduled Cleveland appearance due to an "illness."
Tuesday's injury came as Spears lent her lip-synching expertise to a video for "Outrageous," the upcoming fourth single off her In the Zone album. Per Jive, she went weak in the knee right after completing a scene with ladies-of-the-night-man Snoop Dogg.
On paper anyway, her tour is to run in the United States through mid-August, before deplaning for Europe and Asia.
With Spears immobile, lawyers in Utah may have an easier time tracking down the globe-trotting diva. Salt Lake City's KUTV-TV Website reported Wednesday that attorneys for a diet-pill manufacturer there have tried, unsuccessfully, since November to serve Spears with a lawsuit over her accusations that the company misused her image in an ad.

POINT OF ORDER:
Not under the L train......under the el (as in elevated). She was under the number 7 train.
