"&lt;strong&gt;Simon Cowell&lt;/strong&gt; saves his charm for when it counts -- he apparently talked his way out of a ticket!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img width=\"500\" height=\"455\" border=\"0\" alt=\"simon gets stoped by cops: exclusive\" src=\"http://ll-media.tmz.com/2009/02/28/0227_simon_cowell_collage_2-1.jpg\" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This pic shows the \"American Idol\" judge in the clutches of a Beverly Hills cop this afternoon. The PD told us it was a \"non-event traffic stop\" and no citation was issued.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We're thinking the violation was for putting a 4th judge on the show. It really sucks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;UPDATE&lt;/strong&gt;: TMZ has learned that Simon didn't have his license and wasn't wearing his seat belt while being stopped. He was not cited.&lt;br /&gt;\n&lt;div class=\"related\"&gt;\n&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span&gt;See Also&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;\n&lt;ul&gt;\n&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=\"http://www.tmz.com/2009/01/09/simon-and-ryan-crossing-streams/\"&gt;Simon &amp;amp; Ryan -- Crossing Streams&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;\n&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=\"http://www.tmz.com/2008/12/09/abdul-attacks-idol-they-knew-about-stalker/\"&gt;Abdul Attacks Idol: They Knew About Stalker&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;\n&lt;/ul&gt;\n&lt;/div&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
