Mariah Carey receives Hollywood Walk of Fame

Singer, Mariah Careyhas received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, 25 years after she released her first record.

The 45-year-old singer received the accolade in a ceremony on Hollywood Boulevard on Wednesday.

The 2,556th star was unveiled at the corner of Hollywood Boulevard and Argyle Avenue, right outside the W Hotel.

But, while Carey should have been the centre of attention, one other attendee managed to make sure all eyes were on him.

While she was posing for photos with her new piece of footpath real estate, Carey's son, Moroccan Cannon, 4, came onto the stage to give his mother a kiss, before deciding he might just join her lying on the floor.

Carey kept her eyes on the cameras as Moroccan climbed over her, eventually to be joined by his twin sister, Monroe, as the family posed for photos

Carey's newfound lover, Australian businessman, James Packer, 47, was notably absent from the event.
