She gushed with delight as the star was unveiled in front of the Hard Rock Cafe.
‘Oh my goodness! How amazing it is to see all of your fabulous faces. This is a huge staple in my life. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart,’ said the 29-year-old pop diva.

Aguilera was just a child when she broke into show business nearly 20 years ago as a member of The New Mickey Mouse Club, a show that also counted Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake as cast members.
The singer-actress thanked her mother, Shelly Kearns, ‘for getting me around to all these auditions. My family has been very supportive.’
‘Dream big, everybody!’ she told her fans.

Aguilera, who stars opposite Cher, plays a small-town girl raised in foster homes who chases her dreams to a Los Angeles burlesque club.

She recently said her famous co-star turned into a mentor.
‘She gave me so much advice, both personally and professionally,’ Aguilera said of the veteran singer.
Aguilera filed for divorce from Jordan Bratman, the father of her 2-year-old son Max, last month.
Of the split, she said: ‘I’m a smart girl and there are reasons why I make the choices that I do. Ultimately, I am just looking out for my son’s happiness.
‘That is my most important goal in life. It’s why I work, it’s why I work hard and it’s the example I want to set for him.’
