Mariah Carey is finally getting a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame! The pop diva will receive the 2,256th star on the Walk of Fame, according to the Los Angeles Times. Carey will receive her star in a ceremony that is set to take place on Aug. 5, the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce announced Monday. Guest speakers will include directors Lee Daniels and Brett Ratner, as well as Epic Records CEO and longtime Carey collaborator L.A. Reid, reports Billboard.
