News - Comedian Jim Carrey switched on the lights on Oxford Street, X-Factor judge Dannii Minogue had the honour to do the same at Harrods, ... Westfield London could not stay behind and managed to find some space in the diary of diva Mariah Carey.

The global superstar and multi-Grammy award winner will officially launch Christmas at Westfield London on Thursday 19th November. The singer/songwriter will help spread some Christmas cheer across the capital by switching on the Christmas lights to mark the opening of Wonderland – Westfield London's ultimate Christmas shopping experience. Mariah Carey will also be holding a special signing for her new album 'Memoirs Of An Imperfect Angel' - out on November 23rd.

This exclusive appearance by Mariah who has sold more than 200 million records world-wide, promises to be a first class affair. In true celebrity fashion, Westfield London has decided to make this the most memorable affair with pyrotechnics, VIP carpets, butterfly confetti and hundreds of fans. The Southern Terrace – Westfield's elegant dining boulevard - will be transformed into a VIP pink carpet, lined with fans and shoppers whilst Mariah makes an entrance under a snowfall of confetti.

"We're very excited to have Mariah at Westfield London. Her music is timeless and has great appeal to customers of all ages so she's the perfect star for us. She's also a big fan of the Christmas season," says Jill McArdle Head of Marketing, Westfield London

Mariah's London visit ties into the launch of her eagerly anticipated 'Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel', one of the most personal albums of Carey's career to date, and the release of her forthcoming single, 'I Want To Know What Love Is', a cover of the eighties power ballad by Foreigner. The album features 2 discs; Disc 1 contains 17 tracks combining a mixture of instantly memorable wistful ballads with 'H.A.T.E U' and 'Candy Bling', the up tempo catchy 'Standing O' and the no nonsense 'Up Out Of My Face' to name but a few. Disc 2 features exclusive remixes of the much talked about hit single, 'Obsessed'.
