Dickinson Breaks New Cellphone Law

Former supermodel JANICE DICKINSON has become the first celebrity victim of California's new phone-and-driving law.

As of 1 July (08), motorists in the state were banned from using cellphones while driving.

The 53-year-old picked up a ticket on Hollywood's Sunset Boulevard on Tuesday (22Jul08).

Dickinson was pulled over by West Hollywood Sheriff's deputies and booked, surrounded by paparazzi photographers, who were also cited for jaywalking while they tried to get the best shot of the star.

Dickinson's representative tells TMZ.com the reality TV star fully co-operated with the police.
