Singer Mariah Carey has reportedly begged comedian Ricky Gervais for a cameo role in his new show 'Extras'.
Carey, who apparently "laughed herself hoarse" at 'The Office', Gervais' Golden Globe-winning TV show, and has approached BBC producers to talk about the possibility of taking a role in the star-studded new series.
A BBC source says, "We thought it was a wind-up when we got a call and were told Mariah wanted to speak to us.
"We were filming that day, but plan to hook up with her later in the series if she is in town."
The show, written by Gervais and 'Office' co-writer Stephen Merchant feature cameo roles from a host of big name stars including Kate Winslet, Samuel L Jackson, Vinnie Jones and former 'EastEnders' star Ross Kemp.
