“Her team wanted a date after [she] finished her sold-out Las Vegas residency,” says one Walk of Frame producer.

Mariah Carey is one of the most successful artists in music as she had 18 No. 1 hits, sold more than 200 million albums and won five Grammys. Joining her at Wednesday’s unveiling are directors Lee Daniels (who directed her in Precious) and Brett Ratner as well music producer and record executive L.A. Reid and, of course, her kids.
