Best known for playing James Bond on the big screen, Roger Moore now has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in front of an address that includes the spy's signature 007.

Moore, 79, accompanied by friends and family, received his permanent spot on Hollywood Boulevard on Thursday.

The British actor made seven Bond films, starting with 'Live and Let Die' in 1973 and ending 12 years later with 'A View to a Kill.'

'Sadly, I had to retire from the Bond films,' Moore said. 'The girls were getting younger or I was just getting too old.'

Moore's star sits in front of 7007 Hollywood Blvd., an ice cream parlor that claims to be the birthplace of the hot fudge sundae.

Bloom Uninjured; Passengers Are

Orlando Bloom was involved in a car crash on a Hollywood street early Friday morning, police said.

The 'Pirates of the Caribbean' star told police he was being chased by paparazzi as he left a nightclub at 2:15 a.m. Bloom, 30, said a paparazzo in a silver or white sport utility vehicle made a sudden lane change and cut him off, Officer Ana Aguirre said.

Although Bloom was not injured, two passengers in his car were. Police said a a 35-year-old woman in the back seat fractured her neck, and a 30-year-old woman in the front seat sustained cuts and bruises on her face. Both were taken to a hospital.

Authorities confirmed that Bloom filed a police report and spoke with investigators at the scene.

'No alcohol was involved, and he wasn't speeding,' Aguirre said. There was minor damage to his car and a parked car, she said.

Officials: Rapper Refuses Ride To Court

Foxy Brown, who is serving a one-year jail term, twice refused to get on a correction department bus Friday for a court appearance, the prosecutor's office said.

The 28-year-old rapper was arrested in August and accused of striking Arlene Raymond, 25, after the pair got into a fight July 30 over Brown blasting her car stereo near her home in New York.

On Friday, Brown refused to be taken from Rikers Island prison to be arraigned at Kings County Supreme Court in Brooklyn.

She is now scheduled to appear in court Tuesday, the prosecutor's office said. If Brown refuses, the court could issue an order allowing correction officers to put her in handcuffs and force her onto the bus.

On the show, Iglesias performs at Indigo, the jazz club owned by Neil Winters (Kristoff St. John).
