Busta Rhymes was given a ticket late last week when New York City cops caught him using his cell phone while driving, which was recently made illegal in that state. Busta (aka Trevor Smith) was spotted on the phone as he cruised past the Midtown North police station on W. 54th St. about 7p.m., cops said.

Is this what New York has come to, they're now busting people for talking on cell phones? It seems like just the other day when you couldn't walk through Times Square without "accidentally" picking up a hooker or three. And then "mistakingly" writing it off as a business expense. I still maintain that wasn't enough justification to get fired.
