‘My body went through so much’: Diva Mariah Carey complains about her 'really difficult' pregnancy in bizarre TV interview 
 
 
 
 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".'

 'Really difficult': Mariah Carey has discussed her pregnancy with twins Monroe and Morocco, calling it a 'bleak' time 
 
 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.'

 Mariah Carey hasn't been seen much since giving birth to twins in April, so people were especially curious on Sunday night ahead of her appearance on HSN to hawk everything from her fragrances to her jewelry. And by God, she delivered. 
 
 Carey's live sales pitch began at midnight and lasted two inexplicably mind-blowing hours. In tangent after tangent, she complained about how horrible her pregnancy was, barked out orders to the camera crew, made up new words—basically, anything but try to sell her designs. 
 
 Because nobody should be deprived of a chance to experience it, I've edited Carey's entire appearance down to the most memorable four minutes, video of which appears above. 
 
 And when you're done, be sure to check out this epic supercut video from Rich Juzwiak that features Carey saying the word "love" on air no less than 71 times.
– Mariah Carey made her big post-baby debut ... on the Home Shopping Network. And the "two inexplicably mind-blowing hours" of her appearance were "insane," writes Matt Cherette on Gawker. "In tangent after tangent, she complained about how horrible her pregnancy was, barked out orders to the camera crew, made up new words—basically, anything but try to sell her designs," ranging from her fragrances to her jewelry. Among other things, Carey attempted a British accent and complained about how big her feet got and how "really difficult" it is to be pregnant with twins, the Daily Mail reports. "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," she said. Check out the best four minutes of the appearance, as compiled by Cherette.
