Simon Cowell loves being famous.
The 58-year-old music mogul was honoured with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on Wednesday and joked to the assembled crowd about having had to wait for the permanent tribute.
He quipped: "Why did this take so long? If anyone says fame is a bad thing, I don't know what you're talking about. It's the best thing in the world."
Simon praised his "rock" girlfriend Lauren Silverman and admitted he'd always dreamed of having a star on the iconic pavement before getting emotional talking about his late parents.
He said: "I have a feeling they are looking down and now I can look over to my son, Eric, and say, 'Maybe one day you will get one of these as well.'"
