Mariah Carey No Longer Photographed From Just Right Side

Mariah Carey has shed her diva demands after starring as a dowdy social worker in the drama Precious

Proof?

She no longer insists on only be photographed from her right side.

"I don't feel like, 'Oh, I have to be on this side, or I have to be on this side' -- I really had specific things that someone told me when I was 19 starting in the business and I listened to them ... I don't care anymore," Carey, 40, tells the Associated Press.

"Sometimes I like that [left] side -- and Nick likes that side better anyway," she adds, referring to her husband of about 18 months, Nick Cannon.

Carey filmed the flick (due in theaters Nov. 6) without makeup and in a prosthetic nose -- which she called "such a freeing experience for me."

"By making me look so bad [the director] brought out the ability to never be self-conscious again, and that was a gift that he gave me," says Carey, who nabbed the role after Oscar winner Helen Mirren dropped out. The singer's movie debut, 2001's Glitter, was a bomb.

In the same interview, Carey -- who released her 12th album, Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel, on Tuesday -- downplays pregnancy rumors.

"Well, we enjoy practicing," she says laughing, and then adds that now would "not be the right time" because of their busy schedules.

One thing she'd consider making with her husband? A movie.

"We have to make sure the movie was a stone winner -- otherwise they would kill us," Carey says.

Adds Cannon, 28: "It'd have to be a comedy."

"It'd definitely have to be -- our life is a comedy anyway," she jokes.

She seems so happy and secure with Nick. The age difference doesn't seem important; she looks great!

If you don't care, why did you take the time to read and comment? How is she a hateful bitch? What did she do to you? When has she ever said/done anything hateful? Get a life.

1:35 - Do you know her personally? Ever met her? How can you say she is a hateful bitch? Sounds like you are the hateful person. I used to be an errand runner for a company that did promotion for her Emancipation of Mimi CD and she was very sweet to everyone - even little people like myself. The real "divas" were her management - they were the ones that made personal requests all the time for special things that were for themselves, not for her. She's very involved in her work and business. Most artists aren't even around our offices when they do promo - they would just send over a rep, but she actually gets involved. She even signed a used pizza box I took out of the garbage for me, LOL.

I think Nick has really been a good thing for her, really gotten her out of her shell that she was hiding in.

I was never really a fan of hers (my daughter loves her music) but I will say that ever sense she married Nick, whenever I see her now she is always smiling and seems genuinely happy and I am happy for her.

I once had to take photographs of her in a radio studio where I worked and she was charming and sweet. It was her manager that (nicely and probably on her behalf) asked me to only photograph her on her "good" side. But that was pretty much it. She was not diva-ish in her behavior toward me.

Really Mariah is awesome...look at her comments. "By making me look so bad [the director] brought out the ability to never be self-conscious again, and that was a gift that he gave me." She looks like so many normal people out there in the new movie. Her attitude, diva like qualities and b.s. need to go. Yes she can sing I will not dispute that but I'm so tired of people like her and Megan Fox.
