Adam Sandler sent Mariah Carey a pink "leaning board" to thank her for starring in his new film.

The 'Touch My Body' singer, who stars as herself in 'You Don't Mess with the Zohan', was thrilled when she received the unusual gift.

She said: "When actresses of the day like Marilyn Monroe and Doris Day had to be sewn into costumes for their films they had to use a leaning board. They leaned back on the board as they were sewn in."

"Anyway, Adam had one of these leaning boards from one of his old films and I really liked it. So he had one made for me in pink and sent it to me. Isn't that just the nicest thing? I called him to thank him but he was busy filming at the time."

Mariah - who stars as an aspiring singer in 'Tennessee', due out next year - also said she was amazed by the camaraderie on the set of 'You Don't Mess with the Zohan'.

She added to TV show 'Extra': "They are all hilarious. I wish I could do that all day. It was just so much fun. Everybody is from the school of comedy so they are all really funny. And Adam Sandler is literally the nicest guy!"
