'Heroes' Star Busted for DUI

Adrian Pasdar -- the guy who plays the flying Senator Nathan Petrelli on "Heroes" -- was busted for DUI early this morning after cops say he was burning rubber and swerving all over a Los Angeles freeway.

TMZ has learned 44-year-old Pasdar was arrested at 2:59 AM after cops clocked him going more than 90 mph on the 405 Freeway in L.A. We're told cops also noticed Pasdar was "failing to maintain his lane."

According to

, when cops approached Pasdar's ride, they detected the odor of alcohol -- and decided to give him a field sobriety test. Pasdar was eventually placed under arrest for suspicion of DUI.

Pasdar -- who is married to Dixie Chicks singer Natalie Maines -- was taken to a nearby jail, where he was booked and placed behind bars. He's listed at 5'10" and 175 lbs.

His bail was set at $15,000 -- we're told the bail amount was so high because the actor refused to take a breathalyzer.

Hayden Drops F-Bomb in Pap Crush!

Hayden Panettiere's impromptu autograph session outside of "Regis & Kelly" this morning turned so crazy, she resorted to cursing to get the paps to back off. Save the profanity, save the world!

The photogs and autograph seekers around Hayden got so close to the "Heroes" star, they almost crushed a little girl. So Hayden belted out, "Guys! You're f**kin'..." before cutting herself off.

The crowd backed off, and Hayden asked the little girl, "Are you okay?" several times before leaving. You can see Hayden (minus the cussing) on the tonight's season premiere of "Heroes."
