Becoming a mother doesn't seem to have dialled down Mariah Carey's infamous diva attitude.While many mothers quickly forget the discomfort of pregnancy and pain of labour once their baby is in their arms, the singer has openly complained about the 'bleak' period in her life.
During an appearance on the Home Shopping Network on Sunday, the 41-year-old said: 'Everyone was always saying to me, "Oh but it's all worth it". And I was like, "Yeah well it's easy for you to say when you're not the one whose feet are this big".'
The Grammy winner added: 'It turned into a really difficult time. [Being] pregnant with twins is different to anything.
'My body went through so much - you have to keep those twins in as long as possible, but it's a sacrifice you make for them. I was literally 47 weeks pregnant.'
Mariah gave birth to twins Monroe and Morocco on April 30.
Discussing her previous appearance on the network, to promote her jewellery line, Mariah told the host, 'Honey it was bleak for me. I was so uncomfortable back then.
The Heartbreaker singer's two-hour appearance on the shopping show included some other bizarre moments, including her directing the cameraman to not shoot her and attempting to speak in a British accent.
Mariah is firmly back in the spotlight after keeping a low profile for several months after the birth of her children with husband Nick Cannon, 30.
But after working hard to ensure she lost most of the pregnancy weight, Mariah ventured out again last week for a girls night out in New York.
She was spotted with her friends at Juliet Supperclub, where she ordered a $1,600 bottle of Angel champagne.
As well as promoting her jewellery line, Mariah is also still rumoured to be involved in some capacity with X Factor USA.
The superstar singer was already rumoured to be initially joining the U.S. edition of the hit talent show as a mentor for an episode or two.
But now Simon has confirmed that she is in talks for a more major role - even telling Cowell she wants to be 'the judge of the judges'.
'I think Mariah will have a role on the TV live shows. I met her recently and she was on great form,' the music mogul said.
'And her idea was to be the judge of the judges, which only Mariah could come up with.'
The new role would be the first time the format has changed in the seven year history of the show.
A source told Entertainment Weekly: 'Mariah and Simon are great friends, and now she has had her babies, it's very possible that she will be involved some way in the show.'
'She has always said she wanted to work with the show, so it's something they will certainly be discussing ideas for soon.'
The U.S. version of The X Factor premières on September 21. Simon is set to appear on the show along with judges Nicole Scherzinger, LA Reid and Paula Abdul.
