Jodie Foster Busted for Speeding By Reality TV Show

Actress Jodie Foster was pulled over for speeding in Beverly Hills recently. She was suspected of going 54mph in a 34mph zone. When cops pulled her over, they had the camera crew from the addictive truTV reality show "Speeders" in tow.

The actress, who is quite used to being filmed, was not camera-ready that day and refused to sign the waiver for the show to broadcast her ticketeration.

"Foster refused to sign a waiver to appear on the show, so the camera crew ceased filming and returned to the police car," says a source. "But she grew quite agitated and angry, and kept insisting to the police officers that the radar gun must have made a mistake. She maintained to the officers that she was only going 30 mph at the time they pulled her over, and she kept interrupting and complaining that the process was taking too long. Despite her numerous requests otherwise, the cops still issued her a citation."

Beverly Hills Police spokesman Lieutenant Tony Lee confirmed the incident: "She was upset that she got pulled over, but she signed the ticket and went on her way."

We would have loved to see Jodie confront the police officers and plead her case in front of Judge Brenda on the spin-off "Speeders Fight Back". (Sidebar: You must watch, DVR, TIVO this show! Think "The People's Court", but with props, telestration and a whole bunch of sorry excuses.)

But alas, wishful thinking.
