THIS JUST IN!!
Moments after this pic was snapped, Britney's breasts went all Janet, escaped their leatherette captors and wreaked havoc like free radicals, taking out her left knee and necessitating the cancellation of her summer tour.
Spears had arthroscopic surgery, will be wearing a hard brace for six weeks and will require at least two months of rehabilitation, according to a statement from her label, Jive Records.
The pop tart was scheduled to begin the summer leg of her North American tour - in which she would have needed her knee to facilitate many an energetic and suggestive dance move - June 22 in Hartford, Conn.
Her latest album, In the Zone - the title of which just resulted in a lawsuit against Britney for trademark violation - has sold 2.6 million copies, much to the amazement of many (but not me - I thought it was pretty good dance pop, and typically, I'm right).
No one is sure which breast caused the injury, but her knee is talking to neither, just to be sure.

She could take out my knee with those two any day!
Haw!
But seriously now, folks... if Britney can't dance then that means she'll focus on her singing, which means a more serious, artsy Britney crooning repellent pap from a stool a la Jim Croce without the 'fro. One can only hope she either a) gets better fast so she can continue to jiggle fetchingly with that vacuous stoned-puppy look on her face, or b) loses her voice entirely thanx to nerves like Linda Thompson did, except permanent-like.

J, she seems to be quite aware of what side her bread is buttered on, so I don't think we will be seeing any introspective croon-fests in the foreseeable future.

And of course I made up the part about the jugs doing the damage - she just blew out her knee again dancing - but that pic just cried out for some embellishment.

I seem to recall a recent discussion of assymetric pectoral development...

A rather telling misspelling, I might add.

Usually I have sympathy for anyone going through the kind of physical pain that Britney is, however this time I can't seem to dredge any up as hard as I try. Her knee went out in the service of a truly heinous attempt at a stage show. This turned out actually to be a service to the pop culture vultures who eat up her droppings like white chocolate on a polished turd-cake. Alas, the kids will have to turn to another dumbed-down version of dumbed- down pop. What the hell ever happened to good pop like the Raspberries? I'm trying to keep it alive dammit. I know some of you are too. Ok, I've vented.

Britney's Knee Busted. Or Britney Injures Knee.
This could have long-lasting implications. I broke my right knee the first time when I was 23. Two more injuries since. Surgeries. Physical therapists coming out of my ears. (I like them. They're literate personal trainers.) But, that knee is never really going to be its true self again.

Lose weight. You'll put less stress on the ligaments and cartilage.

My grammatical friend Mac Diva, the title is a little jokey: a play on words re Britney's knee being injured by her wayward "bust," which I made up anyway, but struck me as quite amusing last night

Okay, get it, Eric.
Bob, you presume a lot.

Maybe she can get deal on a knee implant.
Do plastic surgeons reduce the price for repeat buyers?
